cUMMINs ON FIRST BALLOT.
Herriott Nominated For Lieutenant
Governor.

A. b. Cummins. of Des Meines, con.
trolled the republican state convention.
His own majority on the first ballot for
Governor was just eighty. The candi-
dates for the other offices were strong
or than he was. The hardest fight was
that OF Ed. C. Brown for railway com
missioner. The prejudice against turn
ing down one official after one term with.
out good cause kept some regular Cum
Minis votes in the line for Mowry.
Polk county led the combination. 1t
was a straight Cummius and anti-Cnm-
minis from start to finish. No one asked
for quarter or gave it. AT the close OF
the convention the factions were as
closely and strongly aligned as at the
opening There was no stampede
Every vote was test. When it was
suggested that voting should be unan-
imous, a decidedly adverse sentiment
was expressed, which gave way, Of course
to the realization that the successful
men were the nominees OF the party.
The following was the ticket nomi-
mated:
Governor A. B. Cummins
Lieut.. Governor John Herriott
Supreme Judge--------S.M Nj. Weaver
r. r. Commissioner . Ed. @. Brown
Superintendent r. G. Barrett
