Iowa Governor Calls on President Roos
evelt at Washington.

SVSII at WdSninStOUs
Washington, Feb. 21.-President
Roosevelt yesterday received a call
from Governor Cummins, of Iowa, who
with Mrs. Cummins, is passing few
days vacation In Washington. The
governor desired TO merely pay his re-
spects to the president, but before he
leaves Washington he will have an ex-
tended conference with him.
While Cum1nins conveyed the i'm
preston that there was little political
significance in his visit, 1t is known
that he desires to discuss with the
president and others distinguished in
national affairs political questions of
interest not only to Iowa, but also to
the entire country. The republican
state convention in Iowa will be held
next summer for the nomination OF
candidates for governor and other
state officers. At present Cummins has
no opposition for the gubernatoi1al
nomination. The platform 10 be made
by the Iowa republicans will be of inn
portance particularly as this Is the year
just proceeding the presidential cleo
ton. On account of the attitude as
sumed by Iowa republicans under the
leauerSnlp OIL CuHHHiHs oi eiiS es1i ~
question, 1t is understood that the plat
form declarations of the republicans
of that state will be discussed during
the governors visit. Cummins said
that while nobody could fortell the ac-
ton of the convention regarding the
platform, he assumed that. If he should
be renomdnated, itswould be on a plat
form that would not be inconsistent
with the declarations Of Iowa republi-
cans in the past. It is said, however,
to be the desire of Cummins. after a
consultation with the president and re-
publican leaders generally. to have the
republican party in Iowa to stand in
harmonious relationship with the ma
tional leaders and national policies OF
the party.
