The Washington Press says the just
criticism on Governor Cummins is
this. that he has been a bad party man
dodgir- round, Juggling in issues that

a loyal and not captious and bolt

bad fellow concludes the Press.
The Cedar Rapids Republican asks
whether those who claim to be the
especial followers of President Roose-
welt will agree to go no farther on the
tariff than the President will go in his
Forthcoming message-will they keep
still to the same extent the President
does, if he does keep still? There is
no reason to believe that the President
will open the tariff in his MESSAGE
continues the Republican. "Will these
Iowa followers who pretend to be so
close and SO faithful agree with the
President in that respect?"
The Mason City Globe-Gazette
makes some reference to what the
politicians are doing in the seventh

body knows what the issues in 1908
Will be, but possibly it will be an issue
of which neither Mr.. Shaw nor Mr..
Cummins would be the logical repre-

to Iowa for a candidate unless it finds
here the most conspicuous representa-
tive of the issue on which it wishes to
go before the country"
The uncertainty of forecasting
leading issues" says the Davenport
Times, tie uncertainty of elections
IN eastern middle and western states,
all work together to make it mere
guessing to say that any particular
man will lie nominated by the next
republican national convention"
The Marshalltown Times Republican
declares the monkey that chewed up
$1,000 worth of bills belonging to the
Bank of France isn't in the same class
with the Iowa man who drank up a
quarter section of corn land.
IF one could see all in one pile of
$50 gold pieces the total wealth which
one of these August harvest days
takes from Iowa soil. it would be a
State Register. 1T would make the
greatest gold mine on earth look Sick
THE disadvantage of being a can
didate year before the convention =
says the Boone Republican, 'is that
the old fellows have such a long time
to look up crop reports on his wild
oats.
