IF CummiD rries out his plans
there will be one republican tick
ct in the fe : If the anti-Cummins
forces succt in capturing the con-
vention he will lead second ticket.
The governors opponents will not bolt
and frankly admit that if he wins the
control of the convention they will take
their medicine. Governor Cummins.
with equal frankness announces that
the convention rightfully belongs to
him. and that if he is cheated out OF
it his followers will bolt. nominate
their own ticket and go before the peo-
pie to elect ii.
OF course everyone in Iowa who has
any knowledge of the situation knows
that Governor Cummins has never IN
dicatec that he would bolt. He will not
have the say about it. What the pro-
gressive majority would do is another
question. But it is inconceivable to
anyone desiring to be honest that the
majority of a convention should ever
consider boiling. The assertion that
the antis will not bolt means that they
will claim they are regular should they
succeed in having named boiling
ticket. But the fact is that if there
is amy divided convention and two
tickets ii will be an open question
whether the ticket named by the pro-
gressive majority will be regular or
the one named by the standpat MN

While here the other day he talked
ont frankly There is only one thlng
to do, he said, "and that Is for the
ma iority to take charge of the con-
yention and nominate the ticket. Ihe
opposition has forfeited all right to
consideration. The conduct OF the men
who have manipulated affairs for the
Perkins side has been so reprehensipie
that they do not deserve to be treated
With courtesy" Mr.. Clarke is con-
seryative and mildmannered man.

Decision Given by Judge Landis
Today in Controversy Over
Its Property
GRANGER NOT TO BE RECEIVER
Court Instead Names John c. HateIy,
and Orders Election in September Of
General overseer-suitabIe Provis-
ion to Be Made for Dowie as Recon-.
pense for His Services.

Chicago, July 27.-Judge Landis Of
the United States district court, gave
his decision today in the controversy
between the adherents of John Alex
ander Dowie and Wilbur Voliva over
the property at Zion City. The court
holds that Zion City and it's industries
do not belong to Dowie, and thar,
while the contributors funds did moi
express a formal declaration of trust.
trust was created, and Dowie had no
right to treat the property as his own.
The court refused to appoint Alexan-
der Granger as receiver for the reason
that Granger had made a vow recog-
nizing Dowie as a messenger of COW
enant, prophet foretold by Moses and
Elijah, the restora," to which vow
"all family ties and obligations and all
relations to human governments shall
be held subordinate" The court said
he was not obliged to repose confidenco
in a man so constituted that living in
this republic, he would serenely vow
his readiness at all times to abandon
his family and betray his country. The
court ordered an election on the third
Tuesday in September of general
overseer, all members of the church
residing in Zion City, male and female,
to have one vote. He announced a.
suitable provision would be made for
Dowie, on account of his services as
trustee.
The effect Of the decision is to place
the industry affairs of Zion City in the
hands of the court, thru the agency
of Hately, while church and spiritual
matters will come under the supervise
ion of an overseer, to be elected In
September.
Claims against Dowie are now claims
against the receiver. Hately is mem-
Der of the board of trade, capitalist.
and is active in charitable reform
movements. AS to the election Judge
Lands assured the litigants he took
the responsibility for it's fairness on
his own shoulders. Dowie was not in
court, illness confining him to the ho-
tel A number of members tof the
church, however, who still cling to
him, were present. voliva and his
faction were numerously represented.
Voliva refused to discuss the decision,
but comment on both sides unofficially
indicated satisfaction with the out
come. With hardly any dissent the
opinion was expressed by those pres
ent that Lands had found the morse
sense solution of the problem, which
would work for the interests OF tne
great majority Of the members OF the
Dowie church.
