Yesterday.
Trewin's District Is Demoral.
ized-..The Political Color
of Iowa.

The week in politics has developed
some surprises. In the hrst place a fight
in Iowa and johnson counties was not
expected. However. 1T was discovered
that emissaries from Cedar Rapids had
gone into those counties under the guise
of travelling statesmen and We're endeav-
oring to pack the caucuses against Cum
Minis. The local leaders we're aroused
and Iowa county's caucuses were car
ried for Cummins by large majority.
The fight is Still on in Johnson.
In Harrison county, where little Cum
Minis strength had been expected,
enough developed to cause stir, but
the county is safely for Herriott, its dis
;rict candidate, and probably for any
body to beat Cummins." Pottawattamie

controlled by Cummins men and select

control of the Fourth district caucuses,
which will give him control of the i'm
portant committees of the convention
Trewin and Conger are now out of it,
while Cummins has 721 sure votes on
the first ballot and more than enough to
nominate on the second. He will be the
next governor of Iowa.
