What Will Occur in the World of Politics, Athletics and
 General Things.

The Iowa convention will be im- | portant, owing to the fight being wag- ed between the present governor, Al bert B. Cummins, and George ID. Perkins for the gubernatorial nomina' ton. The friends or Cummlns are confident that he will again receive the nomination, and threats nave al ready been made that Congressman Hepburn, the author of the rate bill, | will not be returned to Washington | because of his opposition to the pres ent governor and his advocacy Of Fer | kins' nomination. Hepburn's district is a close one. It is now generally admitted that | only remarkable generalship can save the dominant party from disruption, involving a democratic victory in the election this fall.
 It is stated on reliable authority that Governor Cummins now controls enough votes to secure the nomination on the first ballot--proviGed hls dele- gates are seated. That proyiso looms large in the minds of the Cummlns faction. The stand patters," as the Perkins followers are known, control absolute ly the machinery of the convention as well as the state central committee and a majority of the congresslonal caucuses. There are wise ones Wno say that Perkins has but to pull tne wire to set his well-oiled machinery in motion and secure the nomination Whether he possesses the audacity 10 do so. in defiance of the opinion or the sovereign voters of the state, IS A problem which will not be answer ed until next Wednesday.
 It is alleged that Perkins is backed by the railroads of the state and that they have supplied the oil to make ms political wheels go round. However I...s may be, it is certain that Edward Hunter. commercial agent in Iowa TOT the Burlington system, is manager or the Perkins boom.
