day with the purpose of shaking out
weak and encumbering holdings to bet

high prices of railroad stocks supposed
to be the subject of contest for control
and the resultant great advance In the
process of absorption gave plausbtlity
to the theory that capitalists looked up

cumStances attending its announce
ment Politicians seldom go TO friends
and ask them not to be a candidate. 1t
is much easier to urge a man 10 do that
which will please him. Therefore it so
happened that among the hundreds of
visitors to Major Conger the past few
days practically all who broached the
subject of politics urged upon the min
lister that he cease to be a passive can
didate and become a positive candidate.
But Conger has done nothing of the
kind. He stands in his former position.
In private conversation he stated TO
confidential friends that he did not feel
| ii 10 be necessary or prudent In him at
| shis time 10 say he would not be COVER
i,or of Iowa under any circumstances
There is nothing in the situation calling
for such a statement. But he has not
asked even hi, mos, confidential friends
that they DO ANYTHING for him, nor viii
he ask ii.
The situation IS left by the events of
the past week. little more Favorable
% cummins The fact that the fight is
distinctly between Cummins and anti
Cumnins in the entire state as Well as
stronger light than ever before The
further fact appears that so far az the
personal relations between Cummins
land Conger4 are concerned they arc not
strained in the least, nor can they be by
anything the friends of either may DO.
The friends of Goneer in central Iowa
are largely the friends of Cumnlins.
What may be the situation iii other
parts of the state ia another question
Conger himself is not anti-Cummins
He Will do nothing TO influence the re-
publicans. What may be done in his
name will not affect the personal regard
MIR CuInmins has for Mr.. Canger. Ia
ken all in all, the past week has been a
satisfactory one in Iowa poitics-and
Des Moines has tried TO play an inter-
esting part While occupying so much of
the central part of the political stage.
1t is now expected in view of the an
nouncement by Major Congcr which
leaves 1t omen for politicians to use his
name in any way they see fit, that quite
a nMmber of conventions will be called
Immediately and for early dates. The
Woodbury. county republican conven-
ton is already called for this week. and
the anti-Cummins people expect that 1t
will do something to their liking. But i,
lis probable some conventions will be
called in counties which can be con-
trolled by the anti-Cummins people
This is all a part of the political play
Thus far Cummins has had his own
way in sconventinns held. The other fell
lows want comfort. The precedent sat
by Perkins in Withdrawing ''in the in
terests of harmony" has not been fol-
loved. Indeed, that program may be
abandoned now that Major CongerS has
refused to announce himself candi-
date. In the meantime other candi-
dates are hard at work. We are at the
most interesting stage of the prelimi-
nary campaign,
