Cummins. But he offered to leave 1t
to the chairman Of the Republican ma
tonal committee. Governor Cummins
should remember that the Republican
national committee is not enamored
of reformers. That was demonstrated
beyond oil cavil when Governor Rob
ert ID. La Follette's delegation was un-
tremendously bowled out of the Chi
cago Republican national convention
In 1904 and the stalwart delegation
headed by United States Senator John
9. 6pooner was seated-that, too, on
showing so weak that the supreme
court of Wisconsin held the La Toilette
state ticket to be regular" Therefore
his delegation to the national conyen-
ton was also regular" and the La
Toilette ticket swept the state. With
that example before his eyes Governor
Cummins will be Simple Simon If he
accepts the seductive invitation of
Brother Perkins In passing 1t may
be stated that there Is not more ami
able man or more graceful writer In
all the Hawkeye commonwealth than
Hon. George D. Perkins. He is a
stand patter from away back, and Gov
ernor Cummins owes his fame almost
entirely to his advocacy of tariff revi-
sion. The Washington Star is a stanch
Republican paper, but 1t can see as far
into a milestone as the next one, SO it
says edltorially under the heading
ACummina of IOya.o
Don't accept the proposition, governor.
that comes from your rival. Mr.. Perkins,
that the dispute over the convention or
Plantation be referred for settlement to a
committee to be named by the Republican
national chairman. You have made your
hight and have won and you should hold
fast all that good fortune and the merit
Of your cause have given you. The Re-
publican national committee is all right,
affairs Of the Iowa Republicans They
| should settle their own differences in their
own way. What II those differences are
sharp and some heat has been engender-
ed7 That should insure the larger vote
after everything has been arranged. And
then. governor, you stand not only for
yourself. but for the cause OF tariff revi-
sion. The stand patters said that you
could not carry the delegates on that
issue. Now that you have done 20 they
geek to set aside or confuse the verdict.
Don't let them do It, Iowa is not only q
Republican state but Is in favor of tariff
revision on protection lines. She has
spoken through your candidacy. Mr.. Per
kins is unhappy, but 1t is not your place
to console him. Leave him to time and
| tide and ask for his support at the polls.
sFirst Victory For Bryan Congress"
No we'll informed person will ac-
cuse the Philadelphia Inquirer Of be-
Ing Democratic paper. On the con-
rary, 1t is one Of the most rampant
Republican papers in the land-a thick
and thin organ. Nevertheless even the
Inquirer can discern the signs Of a
Democratic triumph In the congression-
al elections this fall. Under the above
caption 1t says editorially;
That IL a miserable situation In Luz
pe1ns county, whore two Republicans
have been nominated for congress in the
same district.
| There seems to have been no excuse for
t. High handed proceedings on the part
/ OF the chairman OF the convention and
h!s refusal to accept the report of the
tellers naturally produced confusion and
Q break. The result was a split into
factions.
| II the two candidates shall remain in
the field the district now represented by
Henry W. Palmer, Republican. Will be
carried by the Democrats.
6core one already for the Bryan con-
gress which all Democrats hope to elect
next November.
| Organism Is rampant. A united Demo
cratic party throughout the Union will
plunge vigorously into every doubtful dis
trict, and there is danger There can be
no doubt Of that. A handful of districts
won by the Democrats IN Pennsylvania
might very easily turn the house Of rep
resentatives over to the Democracy, and
q Democratic house would be accepted by
the Democrats everywhere as the fore
| runner OF the triumph of Bryan in the
coming presidential campaign
Yet in spite Of this real danger factions
Ia Luzerne deliberately hand that dis
| trict over to the Democrats.
But. after all. this is no more than any
considerable following OF the Lincoln
| party would accomplish In various other
districts.
Opposition to the Republican party in
Pennsylvania means the possible II no,
| probable choice OF a Democratic house
and the prestige of victory to encourage
the campaign Of William Jennings Bryan
for president of the United States.
