Special to Times-Republican
Dcs Moines, July 1.-The extremes to.
which the opponents of Mr.. -Cummins
have been driven in their ridiculous des-
peratlon to encompass his defeat in the
coming convention are little short of
amusing. For instance, Cummins was
beaten in Warren county, which has al
ways been against him, by queer COM
bination. First of all was the source of
the fund which was used to pay for tbs
campaigr-the railroad and corporation
machine. Then there was fight made
on Cummins by certain persons VINO
were conspicuous. and some of them no.
torious. in the prohibition days, as for
instance. |. L. Person, OF Des MONIES,
who Went into Warren after q consulta-
ton with Governor Shaw and worked
against Cuminins because Cummins is
in line with the republican party as ii
is and rot as it was. All the old poIiti-
cal prohibitionists, who vote the prohi-
bition party ticket, We're brought into
use TO beat Cummins. With them were
allied a lot of men Who are just as about
as good prohibitionlsts as Col. Eiboack
and no better. Bat as against Cummins
they worked in harmony. Ii has been the
same thing in number of other coun-
ties The ridiculous story which gained
some credence by being credited to the
Waterloo Courier to give it standing
that the democrats We're laying deep
laid plot to have Cummins nominated so
they could bring out Ex-Governor Boies
and thus force an issue on prohibition
was started for the sole purpose of STIR
ring up some of the political prohibi-
tionists and inducing them to work
against Cummins. How Cummins and
Boies, on opposing tickets, could raise
prohibition question is not yet disclosed
but 1t is certain that the machine
newspapers are trying to make use of
such ridiculous story 1t is somewhat
significant that the newspapers which
wanted Jackson nominated because he
was not a prohibitionist and would re-
verse the policy of the party on that
question are now opposing Cuuimins he
cause he Is not a strong enough proi1i-
bitionist TO suit them. But after the
preliminary contests nothing Will ever
be heard of this question. The CumminS
people are undismayed by the loss Of
Warren county. 1t was fully expected.
The odds We're all against Cummins.
This week Of the three conventions to
be held the Cummins people expect two.
The conventions are in Warren, Osceola
and Mitchell
Millers from this part of the state who
attended the state meeting of millers at
Cedar Rapids last week report them
selves as highly pleased with the pros
pect for the milling industry in lowe
and anticipate a still greater enlarge
ment Of the business in the next few
years. The action taken by the associa-
-ipn in providing for the formation of
cooperative company to handle the ex-
port product and to raise the standard
OF Iowa flour for sale outside the state
meets with the approval of members in
this portion of the state. Heretofore the
nillers have baen compelled to establish.
each for himself. a reputation for good
Hour. and to be at considerable expense
in advertising certain brands and
makes. The company to be formed Will
see to it that all -four made in Iowa for
export is of proper standard and have it
branded as Iowa flour. 50 that the repu-
tation of Iowa -four will grow wherever
it is known. In this way the market for
Iowa flour will increase rapidly The
