LOOKS LIKE A DEAL
Further Evidence That Cummins

Big Political Game.

Special to Tho Journal.

Special to Tho Journal
Des Moines, Iowa, June Additional
evidences Of an understanding between
Cummins and Blythe on the United States
senatorships are now beginning to- come
to light. Politicians here have been as
| tonished by the news from Ida county
| that leading Cumnins men in that county
are quietly backing up e. II. McCutchen
| of Holstein for the senatorship In the Ida
Cherokee district. There is no doubt
whatever that this is the case, in spite
of the fact that McCutchen In the past
was one Of the most pronounced enemies
| of Cummins and a constant adherent Of
the Blythe interests. This, however, is
/ but one instance
In the sixth congressional district, 1t ap-
pears that w. w. Epps Of Wapello county
will be elected without struggle, in spite
of the efforts made by the friends of Eli
Dotson of Colfax to have his cause taken
up by the Cummins leaders. Epps has
all along been known an anti Cummins
man.
In the fifth district, the Cummins and
anti Cummins forces have evidently unit
| ed on DR.. Estabrook Of Marshalltown.
| Estabrook also Is identified with the old
anti Cumnins element in the district.
With the selection Of Estabrook and
i Epps seemingly assured, there Is no longer
1 any question that the control of the re-
publican state central committee will be
in the hands Of men who have all along
been antaEonistic to Cummins and that
a chairman Of the snti- Cummins persua-
sion will be chosen.
The friends Of r. H. Spence Of Mount
Ayr are making an effort to have him
re- elected for the third time and may sue
coed. There Is also talk of c. J. Wilson
Of Washington, who will be chosen com
mitteeman in the first district to succeed
4 H. O. Weaver and of Burton Sweet OF the
third district. ees
4 The executive, council and the board of
control have adjusted the trouble caused
by the recent storm at Glenwood. The
council has appropriated all the balance
left In the providential contingent fund
4 of the state, Of $4,000. The board of
control will take this and with the use OF
other funds appropriated to the institu-
ton, which can be used without stretch
ing the law seriously, will have about
$4,000 available. With this temporary re-
pairs will be made and, 1t is believed, ar
rangements can be made to keep the
schools running. ].
