i One who reads the above. may be-
lieve that the democrats love Mr. Cum
minis because they think he is demo-
4 crat. but those who heard the speech
delivered with all the fire Of which Mr..
Cummins is capable will hardly be-
lieve. In fact, more nonsense has been
said and written to convince the people
of the state that Mr.. Cummins is not
a republican than on any other subject
of late. Incidentally it may be men,
toned that at the time Mr.. Cummins
is alleged to have been running for Of
flee as democrat he was not one
half or hundredth part as bitterly
opposed by the Des Moines Register
as at this time. In fact, IT was we'll
understood in the Register office at
that time that it would be very pleas
ing to the editor IL Cummins should be
elected. The word was quietly passed
around among the republicans of Des
Moines that Cummins should be elected
| by their votes, not because he was not
4 a republican, but because he was an
able man and fairly represented re-
publican sentiment in Des Moines, and
but for hundreds, yes thousands of re-
publican votes he could not have been
elected at ALL And so in later years
4 when he was a candidate for national
committeeman and for senator he has
been supported by republicans and the
very best republicans of the state.

| The withdrawal of Colonel Thompson
from the race for second place leaves 1t
lentirely between Dave Brant and w.
n. Klemne. The fact that Klemme's
district is SO badly broken up handi-
caps him somewhat. 1t also leaves the
field open for solid Eleventh district
support of e. n. Brown for railroad
commissioner. 1t is reported here that
Brown has developed a great deal Of
strength the past few weeks in south
ern Iowa and southwestern Iowa, that
the delegates take kindly to his name
and that he will have greater strength
than supposed. A conference Of the
Il
Rapids on Thursday evening, to consid-
er what should be done other with
drawals are expected before the con
vention meets
The figures given out by Hon. Thorn
as Way are regarded by everybody as
decidedly conservative. He has given
the others all that they are entitled to

fact, Mr.. Cummins is confident he
will be nominated on first ballot. He
said so many weeks ago, and he has
said so more recently. Mr.. Way
really thinks the same, but in going be-
fore the people with formal state
nent of claims he has chosen rather to
be on the safe side. Today will tell
1 whether his estimate of 81 to be got
from the counties he names is too high.
/ But the statement shows how carefully
the Cummins managers have watched
every county in the state. They have
| done their work well. They have made
just such a campaign as was necessary
to Offset the work of the opposition
that and nothing more.
Il W
goes tonight to Cedar Rapids to open
headquarters as candidate for Judge
Of the supreme bench to succeed Gem
eral Josiah Given. Judge Bishop has
made no noise about his campaign,
but has kept in touch with the delega-
tons as they have been named. He
will cut bigger figure in the conven-
ton than has generally been supposed.
He has some advantages in his canvass
He is man of ability and young. He
has wide acquaintance over the state.
His friends are enthusiastically for
him. The Polk county delegation Is for
him and is instructed for him. He will
get substantially the solid support OF
the Seventh district. The action of the
bar association at Council Bluffs in
adopting report recommending that
the judges should be required to live
in Des Moines will help him. Judge
Given, when he retires, is the only one
Of the judges who lives in Des Moines
now, and unless Bishop Is nominated
to succeed him we will have supreme
bench non resident at the capital. All
these things weigh in his favor. AT
any rate the fight for the judgeship is
not over yet.
Attorney General Mullan has done
Inothing as yet on the report of the ex-
aminers with regard to the state bind
i ing laws and bills. He will attend the
state convention and take 1t up after
wards.
