of concentration for the Cummins
forces will be in the Fourth district
Heretofore it has been necessary for
Cummins' friends to divide their time
largely between his own district and
other portions of the state. Now he is
! free from the troubles in his own dis
trict, or will be as soon as the Warren
county primaries are held next week.
When that is over the Seventh district
Will be cleaned up. Up to this time the
opposition has forced the Cummins peo-
pie to make a fight in every county of
his district and every county where he
had reason To expect delegates. To his
credit is can be said that he has not
weakened in single county, has ac-
cepted the challenge thus thrown down
and has won in almost every case. But
! now it will be possible for the Cummins
people to show the other fellows that
1 they will have to do some hustling in
their own territory. The Fourth dis
4 trict, like the First Second and Fifth
/ is regarded as open ground. Senator
Trewins friends and hackers have not

4 ard make an attempt to take votes
4 away from Cummins to which he was
fairly entitled. The fight VIII be carried
4 into the Fourth district. Two conven-
y tions Or primaries have been called
lAllamakee and Winnesilisk. Whine
shiek Is considered debatahle ground

effort to harass Trewin in Allamakes,
which is one Of his two home counties.

Il Larrabee has personal reasons for sup
porting Trewin but that his support

about the state lately 10 the effect that

that he is even now contemplating maxi

cal reasons is an injustice TO him and
is not relished by his friends in Des
