his last nickel to chase the woman to

night.
She was taken to police headquarters
and Bruins came in in a few minutes.
He begged to have a few words in

to have the woman sent to Hotel Dieu,
saying he would pay all bills. Today in

DES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 1.-The Re-
publican state convention today re-
nominated Governor A. B. Cummips
for chief executive on first ballot COM
pleted the nominations for state Of
fees with but few exceptions, adopted
a platform favoring reciprocity inau-
gurated by Blaine and advocated by
Mckinley and Roosevelt" and ad-
journed.
All fears of a split in the convention,
with the consequent certainty of two
Republican tickets in the field, disap-
peared when Governor Cummins'
strength developed in the district eau
cuses held this morning, and the con-
vention was as harmonious as any ever
held by the Republicans of the state.
Governor Cummins, as he claimed all
along, had a majority of the delegates,
and the action of the state central COM
mittee in adding to the temporary or
ganization a number of Perkins dele
gates did not interfere with his con-
troll of the situation. His friends con-
trolled not only the committee on Gre
dentials, but secured the adoption of
the platform they submitted to the
committee on resolutions.
Action Is Not Sustained
The action of the state central COM
mttee in putting lightweight of the
contesting Perkins delegates on the
temporary roll was not sustained by
the committee on credentials, who re-
ported in favor of seating only thir-
teen of them. The report of the COM
mittee on credentials, while not unan-
imous, was unanimously adopted by the
convention and the committee on reso-
lutionS submitted unanimous report.
After Governor Cummins was renom-
mated a committee was appointed to
escort him to the platform. He made
a short speech, in which he said the
thing nearest his heart was the Repub-
lican party.
George d. Perkins was also called
upon and received with cheers. He said
that in the future, as in the past, he
would be loyal to the Republican party
and re-enlisted in it's service.
The majority of the other officers on
the state ticket were nominated by ac-
clamation, a ballot being necessary fol
lieutenant governor, secretary of state
treasurer and railroad commissioners.
