Governor CumminS of Iowa Saws
He Will Fight to Bitter End
for Tariff Revision.
Def TO "STAND-PATTERS."
Declares Hawkeye State Cannot
Afford to Let Well Enough
Alone" but Must Move
on With Progress.


KEPI' BI.tC SPECIAL.
pcs Moines. la. Jan. l+.-Governor A.
r. Cummins. in his inaugural address to-
day. threw down the gauntlet to the
stand -Patters." took a bold stand for
reciprocity and declared he would fight
with his following to the bitter end for j
revision of the tariff.
Without minCing matters. Governor
Cummins turned with a bold front to his
audience of politicians and declared: Il
have never been a disciple Of the doctrine
expressed in a phrase thai has now be
come famous, Let well enough alone.
Abstractly viewed, the maxim is beyCnd
criticism. but its fatal weakness Hes in
the fact that there never was nor will be
a day in which it was. or will be. well
enough with any community, with any
state. or with any Nation.
There are those who assert that they
believe in reciprocity, but insist that NJ
trade arrangement shall be made whicn
VIII permit any article or COMMONLY
which can produce to enter our ports
upon more favorable terms than is pre-
scribed in the existing tariff schedules.
This view hardly rises to the dignity OF
a delusion. and my observation Is thht II
is a mere cloak to conceal the Opposltiott
To any trade arrangement whatever, ana
to amy disturbance Of existing laws.
Every statesman who really wanted 10
accomplish something in that direction
has held that If We can make an interna-
tiouai bargain that will. upon the whole.
Increase the value OF our production We
ought to do 1t. even though some par
ticular manufacturer might suffer in the
transaction.

she has derived have been very great. but
largely incidental. The time has come for

Question Is Arousing Much Inter
est Among the Presidents
Friends.
ALL PREcEDENTs IGNORED.
Suspected That Scheme Is on
Foot TO Have All Delegates
Chosen 1T State Convcn-
tionS and 10 Go Unin-

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington Jan u - That interesting
question, viii Wanna fish or cut hait"'
has been quite overskadowed here TO-DAY
by a discussion of the delay in the is
suauce of the call for the Republican Ma
tioual Convention ard Senator Hanna j
purpose in permitting the delay.
1t is believed that the delay is due to
u contemplated nov departure in the man
uer of elertIug delegates. which may
have t very important bearing on Pres!-
dent Roosevelt's future and the control
of the National Convention.
The National Committee. In its call.
always defines the manner in which dele
gates shall he elected and the time when
the primaries and conventions shall be
held. Usually MISUNDERSTANDING ar" di-
officials, and the two delegates from each
manner in which Representatives in Con-
gress are placed in nomination.
1t IS one of the rules of the Republican
National Committee that the call shall be
issued six months I'm advance OF the hold
ing of the convention and that the last
delegate shall Le elected forty days prior
assertion is made that this six months
clause has already been violated and that
1t will now be impossible for the call 10
! issued six months beforet the National
/ Convention as the convention meets June
p. the last day was December 2L
, PLANS OF ROOSEVELT OPPOSITION.
1t is believed here that a subcommittee
/ of the National Committee is looking up
1 preccdents which will permit the National
| Committee to issue call directing that
{ all the delegates in each State shall be
! elected at a State Convention instead of
| the Gelegate-at-Iarge being elected at u
| State Convention and the district dele
| gates being selected by congressional dis
tricts.
/ The aim of the Republicans. who are
| now opposing President Roosevelt. in the
/ absence of having any candidate to run
| against him. Is to have as many delegates
| as possible uuinstruCted.
! I nat Is what senator Hanna'S friends il
! Ohio have been working for. and The news
! came from Indiana TO-DAY that important
ReuuhlfCana in the HooSier State would
| ais" seek 10 have the delegates unin'
! struCtcd.
1t is s,lrmised that the anti-Roosevel
! Republicans might ne able 10 control stat
. and send all the delegates without in
/ struCJions, whereas II would he almost i'm
/ pI"siblc TO prevent instructions In any
/ very large number OF congressional dis
! tricts.
/ II the National Committee should issue
4 call directing the election nf all dele
/ gates by State conventions. it woulo un-
! doubteGly raise a tremendous row in the
