 Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 1.-Goyesuor Albert B. Cummins to-day was nomi- Aateo Tor re-eleotion by the republican state convention in harmonious ses- slon that belied all prognostlcatons of a possible split in the state party over control for the head of the state tic- Eet. A full state ticket was named most of the candidates being nor1inat- ed by exclamation. All strife appear. ed to have died from the ranks of tba opposlng factlons of Iowa republicans.
 George D. Perkins, who opposed Cummins for the gubernatorial norni- nation, in a brief speech said he be- longed to the common people.'' Since manhood he had been interested in the republican party, and tonight re-en- listed in it's service. He had. he saaS advocated only things which he beley- ca to be true, and would continue 10 advocate them.
 ne platIorn adopted says in part:
 we ind abundant cause for resoic- Ing in conditions prevailing. The coun- try as whole is unceasingly prosper- ous, and our state is experiencing the climax of prosperity and protection. We are rightly proud of the history of our party, which for so many yeara mas determined the policies and direct- ca the administration of our public af- fairs. IT
 We commend the inspiring charac- ter, important achievements and un- daunted leadership of Theodore Roose- Velt. It is with exceeding pride that We contemplate the confidence reposed in him by the people of our country and the admiration which he com mands from the whole world"
 It endorses the work of the Iowa re. pupllcan congressional and cahinet representatives, endorses the adrninis- tration of Governor Cufnmins. and eon- l tinues
 "We pledge ourselves and our party i'll this state to the enactment of a wige and judicious primary election law winch will provide for the nomination by direct vote of all candidates for office tc So filed at the general esec- ton, and an expression of. public nref- erence in the selection of JTnited S9a+a. senator's
 We are unalterably opposed to the domination of corporate influences 5n public affairs. We favor the enactment of stringent statutes to purge the poli- tics of our state and nation from the corrupting influences of corporate pow CT; and we pledge ourselves to the sn- actment of such laws as will render it unprofitable and unpopular for corpor- ations to engage in politics or in any way contribute to political campaigns.
 We are uncompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection. Duties on foreign imports should not be levied for revenue only, but should be so adjusted as to promote our do- mestio interests, enlarge our foreign markets, secure rernunerative pricesfor the products of our factories and our farms, and maintain superior scale of wages and standard of living for American labor.
 Wise and unsalfish tariff laws main tained in the interest of the general welfare, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monoply, are es- sential to our commercial and indus trial prosperity. We believe that all in- equalities in the tariff schedules, which inevitably arise from changing indus tral and commercial conditions, should be adjusted from time to time, ana, conforming without reserve all as- saults upon the protective system, we favor such reasonable and timely changes as will keep the tariff in har- mony with our industrial and commer- cial progress.
 We favor the reciprocity inaugural ed by Blaine, advocated by Mckinley and Roosevelt, and as recognized in re- publican platforms and legislation"
