1t is not at all likely that Mr.. Cum
rims can be beaten. 1t will certainly be
most remarkable IL he is. He has I'M
questioned second choice strength in
John Herriott's district and also in SEN
ator Harriman's, and it will undoubted-
~ develop when an attempt is made to,
combine the opposition forces on one
nan. The convention will nevertheless
be an interesting and exciting scene for
few hours and Cedar Rapids ID get
Ting ready for q big crowd.
Hampton Chronicle]
This is the last week of the campaign,
and 1t is needless to say that whole lot
Of people are glad that the contest is SO
near at hand. AS far as Senator Harri-
iran is concerned the fight has been a
clean one, but the contest has been quite
Filter between some of the candidates.
AT this time the outcome is problemati-
cal, but Franklin county people and the
Third district hope for the nomination Of
Hon. W. F. Hartman.

Before another issue of the Review
the republicans Of Iowa will have met in
convention and formulated their plat
form and nominated candidate for
governor. That a.. B. Cummins will be
that candidate we have but little doubt
but be that as it may, the Review will
have no crow to eat no harsh words to
atone for, or baseless accusations to
face. as many Of our contemporaries will
have. We are for the nominee of the
convention whoever he may be, and we
Eelieve the past record of the party is a
good enough Indication that none but
the. best men will be nominated for the
various offices to be filed.

Some of our editorial brethren are
talking of harmony at Cedar Rapids
next Wednesday. The only harmony we
| advisesis- for every ants ummins man
Ito center on one candidate This should
be done in caucuses prior to roll call.
| II will be dangerous to the anti-Cum-
Enins element to scatter their strength
and let their antagonist swell his vote.
4 It is not probable that Cummins can go
| beyond the 100 mark, but prolonged ball
sloting and lack of centralized effort
might; be the cause of Cummins becom-
\ ing winner. BY all means the guber-
\ Material candidatesopposed to Cummins
should forego personal ambition and let
their strength be centered on one man.

Albert B. Cummins, backed by a large
1 majority of the republicans of Iowa, has
\ practically won the fight for governor
and his nomination next Wednesday is a
certainty The opposition is still claim
I irg his defeat, but itstleaders know that
they are beaten. They are keeping ur
!, the fight in the hope of saving some
thing out of the wreck. But they will
rot save anything. The ticket thruout
and the platform will be made by the
4 Cummins forces. And after the first OF
next January Iowa will have an admin
interests.
Howard County Times.1
/ 1t now looks as il Mr.. Cummins did
nomination that his friends would have
us believe. The conventions are all held
4 and still he is short. over 100 votes-s
Il position the very w6rst you can put I
man In. so close to sufficient number
&C votes to nominate he must secure the
j prize on the first or second bollots, ar he
will never reach it. and either Conger o,
Trewin will score the victory, or else
come man who has never been men
toned in connection with the Office OF
4 governor. 1t is possible that Mr.. Cum.
Minis friends can mobilize the necessary
votes, but we don't believe it: the fgh
has been too bitter for him to get thu
additional support when the breal
\ comes.

II The contest is yet to be fought out a
the state convention and great many
Il things are liable to happen. Nobod,
q can predict the result with any certain
ty, but we still have abundant faith il
the wisdom and deliberative good sens
of the republican party of Iowa ant
4 hope for an outcome that will heal al
4 factionalism and bitterness. There Il
Vastly more at stake than the mere per
sonal ambition or success of any on,
man. : If the convention at Ceda
Rapids next Wednesday nominate
4 Trewin, Hartman Conger or goot
I, dark horse we'll be suited.

At the convention at Cedar Rapid
rext Wednesday the republicans o
q Iowa will nominate asticket worthy O
the confidence of the people and max
a platform expression consistent witt
4 public needs and private rights. A. B
u Cummins is right now as good as nomi

a cept this munificent political gift from
his party strong in ability and steadfas
In purpose to serve his state we'll an,
faithfully. He will make campaign o
which we will all be proud and grow il
favor to the day of his triumphant cleo
ton. He will do his full duty as can
didate and as governor in allaying fac
tional strife, for which he is not t
blame.
Nevada Representatives.
The state convention next week prom
ises to be the scene of an intense strug
gle between the Cummins forces and TIL
field. Cummins will go into the conven
ton 100 to $50 votes stronger than in TIL
beginning we believed he would. A con
siderable part of this gain is incense
. quential for it represents the proceed
i Of incursions into the home territory Q
other candidates for first choic
strength, where Cummins would in an
event have had the effective secon
!. choice support Incursions of this sor
have simply embittered the situatio
without materially helping Cummin:
On the other hand in probably ten or
dozen counties he has by hard fightin
won substantial additions to hi
strength, which help it materially. 1t /
