MAYOR JOHNSON INDICATED.
Associated Press Correction Regarding
Railway Controversy at Cleveland

Associated freSS CorreC1lon he0afoln9
Railway Controversy at Cleveland,
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. I'm dis
patches handled by the Associated
Press July 25, in describing the con-
troversy now proceeding over the
street railway situation in this city,
the statement was made that the rail-
way line of the Cleveland Electric
Railway Company on Fulton street,
was torn up by men acting under the
orders of Mayor Tom L. Johnson and
that this action was owing to the
pending controversy in behalf of the
Forest City Railway, three-cent fare
line, and which, under certain condt-
tions, can come under the ownership
and control of the municipal city, in
addition to relating facts as to tear
ing up of the rails of the Cleveland
Electric Railway Company. The ad-
ditional statement was made that
Mayor johnson was credited with be-
ing largely interested in the municipal
traction company"
This statement was unwarranted.
and is believed to be entirely untrue,
If in it's reading, it tended to create the
impre ssion that Johnson had any fin
ancial interest whatever in the Forest
City Company, and is contrary to ev-
cry public statement made by that Of
ficial he having specifically anticipat-
ed by public announcement any such
possibility. That he has been Interest,"
ed In the success of the company as
to the ultimate municipal ownership
proposition, but primarily to secure d
lower fare, he has openly proclaimed.
The Associated Press therefore desires
to disclaim any knowledge or motive
other than this of public interest, and
to disavow any other suggestion in
making the statement telegraphed.

Special to rimes-Republican.

Des Moines, Aug. 2.-The above
epitomizes the work Of the republican
state convention yesterday, but 1t
gives but little idea Of the great fight
that preceded the making of the NOM
nations. It will go down in history
as the greatest campaign Iowa repub-
licans ever knew.
Governor Cummfns was renominated
by vote of 933 against 603 for Per-
kins and 104 for Rathbun. Then Garst
was named for lieutenant governor by
917 1-3 to 722 2-3. The latter vote was
perhaps more significant, as there had
been no doubt since last night that
Cummins would be renominated, but
his opponent made a last stand On
Garst.
cummins Speaks.
1t was when Cummins was called
before the convention that his admir-
ers thought they had in his brief
speech material for a presidential
boom. The governor made the point
that it was not his personal qualitica.
tions which had produced the result,
but the economic ideas he represented.
He spoke for what he described as the
progressive spirit of the repubNcAo
party "All I can say" he began, "is
that will do all in my power to ex-
emplify the spirit which moves this
magnificent convention. The hope
nearest my heart is the continued SUI
