Des Moines, April 23.-It will read
lily be recognized over the state that
the patriotic action of the people of
Guthrie Center and other Guthrecoun-
ty cities. makes certain the nomination
of Governor Cummins. 1t has been
recognized from the first that The only
thing that could defeat GovernorCum-
Minis from nomination for third
term as governor would be the tombi-
nation of two or more candidates
brought out Perkins in the Eleventh.
district, thinking that he could take
strength from Cummins there, and with
Herriott taking the Ninth district it
was figured that the two couh COM
bine and that the strongest of the two
would be nominated. Perkins has
failed to develop the strength neces-
sary in the northwestern section of the
Cummins will have all OF the Tenth
district with the exception of Crawford
county, which will divide it's delegation.
He will have all of the eleventh with
the exception of Woodbury., Perkins
home county, and Monona and Osce-

the best, looking at it from Herriotts
standpoint, there can be nothing better
than divided delegation from Guthrie
county. The Guthrie Center resolu-
lions are very significant. Panora,
Casey and Bayard are In the same
frame of mind as is Guthrie Center.
When the county convention is called
next Thursday the Cummins people
from the county will have strength
enough to instruct the delegation for
Cummins, but If this is not done the
delegation at the very least will be
made up of Cummins men. The fact
that Lieutenant Governor Herriotts
home county is not back of him in his
contest, but believes, as the Guthrie
Center resolutions say, that present
in the state call for the lay
ing aside of local pride forthe greater
state good which demands the nomi-
nation of Governor Cummins, will have
the effect over the state ofso weaken
ing the candidacy of Governor Herriott
that he is out of the running. This
leaves Governor Cummins the clear
field
The resolutions adopted by the Guth-
RE county convention, which fairly ex-
presses the sentiment of the people of
the county, are given below. 1t has
been known for some time that there
was a strong sentiment in the county
for Cummins. 1t was known that there
was work being done there. but that
the county should go so strongly for
Cummins was really surprise to the
Cummins people to an extent, for the
work has been quietly done With
Guthrie in the Cummins fold. Adair,
Audubon, Shelby and Cass can do MOTH
Ing but follow, and Pottawattamie will
likely be brought in also. The resolu-
tions adopted at Guthrie Center are as
follows:
BE it resolved by the republicans Of
Valley township in primary caucus as
