Des Moines. July ga good deal OF
an effort has been made to convince re-
publicans who are not familiar with the
facts, that the men In Dea Mones who
are back of ~. b. Cummns are not re-
publicans, but that all the republicans
are opposing him. 1t has been sent out
from here that the men who are with
Cummins in Polk county are democrats
or populists. The purpose of this is to
create prejudice against Cummins. In
fact all supporters of Cummins have
been branded as populists by the lead
ing newspaper organs of the opposition:
and they have gone even further and
insinuated that all who fail or refuse
to join in the movement to besmirch
him before the convention are populists
The enthusiasm for Cummins mas been
repeatedly referred to as Kansas and
Nebraska wave of populism and fac
tionism," and in this connection the
names of congressman and senator's
have been used. Mr.. Cummins today
gave out the list of delegates from Polk
county to- the republican state conven-
ton. The list effectually disproves all
this stuff intended to deceive the rank
and file of republicans of the state.
Nothing has been more unjust to Mr..
Cummins than this insinuation that he
lis not republican and that his sup
porters here at home are democrats or
ppoulsts. His delegation of sixty-four
to the Cedar Rapids convention is rep
resentative republican delegation. They
are men who have voted the republican
ticket, many of them from the founda-
ton of the party. They are men who
have voted for Mckinley and Harrison,
for Drake and Jackson and Shaw; and
their republicanism will not be ques-
toned here where they are known. The
list includes Hon. Lafe Young, who was
only few years ago a prominent candi-
date for governor, who has never bolted
the ticket. who figii.s fcr the republican
party In season and out His zeal ma j
sometimes lead him to extravagant
flights of eloquence, but his integrity is
beyond assault. Then here is Senator
Cheshire, conspicuous figure in the
last three or four legislatures a young
man always republican, and a good
