THE GOVERNORSHIP.
rs dubuque Times.l
These are eventful days in Iowa poll:
tics. On Friday last Hon. George ID.
Perkins. of Sioux City. was called upon.
by committee of republicans headed
by Mayor Burton and requested to be-
come candidate for the governorship,
and his candidacy vas forthwith an
s:iounced. On the following day Mr.. a..
b. Cummins. of Des Moines. announced
his candidacy after a conference with.
friends who had been urging this course
upon him.
Many other gentlemen of wide promi-
renee have been mentioned in this CON
1ectlon, but to date these candidates.
.Cnly have been announced in a formal.
way. Both men have positive strength.
Mr.. Perkins has been successful as bus
isnes man and editor. He has made the
Sioux City Journal one of the most val
liable and influential newspapers of the
northwest Undoubtedly his success
Eas been OF great advantage to that
town and region; for one can not appre-
cate the Journal without approaching
the claims of Sioux City as CONNER
cial center and the development of the
territory tributary to that city. AS an
editor he ranks very high In the estima-
ton of the Iowa press. The Journal sis
always calm, reasonable. philosophical,
good tempered and interesting and new
or Offensive. and naturally Mr.. Perkins,
contemporaries have acquired profound
regard for his character and Judgment.
The pride they feel in him would extend.
TO the people OF Iowa were he to gov
sern the state as wisely as he edits his
newspaper and administers its affairs.
Mr.. Cummins is also gentleman of
brilliant talents, one of the leaders OF
the Iowa bar. and by reason OF his pop
ular gifts, a leader who commands 10y
atty and enthusiasm. AS candidate
against the late Senator Gear year
ego he developed remarkable strength.
In his present candidacy he will have
the advantage Of friendships formed in
the former contest tho ne has taken oc-
casion to state that he Is now candi-
Gate for governor only and that he will
rot aspire to the place of Senator Alll-
son or Senator Deliver unless vacan-
cy should occur. Several who have been
mentioned for the governorship have
voluntarily removed themselves from
the field to unite In support of Mr.. Cum
Minis, but the purposes Of others are
still to be ascertained definitely.
Since the foregoing was written the
candidacy OF Mr.. Sidney A. Foster. Of
Des Moines. has been announced Mr..
Foster, who is engaged in the insurance
business, has been prominent in the
ranks Of Iowa republicans for many
years and is accounted one of the most
effective public speakers in the state.
He ID one OF the capital city,s most en-
ergetic and philosophical citizens and
Ills social qualities have made him
friends among the active men Of the
party thtuout the state. His candidacy
Will be certain to complicate matters in
the Seventh district.
