THREE SPEECHESBY CUMMINS
Governor Will Address Meetings at Council
Bluffs, AVooa and Nicola.
ROOSEVELT CUMMINS LEAGUE FORMED
OrEa Intended to onset work
of Roosevelt Club Organized
by Anti-Cummings
Faction.
RoosEvELT-cUMMlNS LEAGUE FORMED

Governor Cummins is sceduled to make
three speeches in Pottawattamie county
May and 10. on Wednesday, May 9. he
delivers an address in the afternoon at
Nicola and I'm the evening of the same day
at Avoca. He is expected to spend the
next day in Council Bluffs where he will
speak in the evening. Arrangements for
the meeting here have not been perfected,
but 1t will be held in the opera house.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS League.
The Roosevelt Cummins Progressive Re
publican league was organized Saturday at
Oakland in the east end of Pottawattamie
county, and a branch it is said will be
formed in Council Bluffs this week. Nine
teen townships in the east end Of the
county we're represented at the meeting in
Oakland and much enthusiasm prevailed.
Recently adherents Of Lieutenant Governor
John Herriott or what is known as the
anti Cummins faction, started an organiza-
tion to be known as the Roosevelt Repub-
lican Club of Pottawattamie county and 1t
is TO Offset this that the Cummins league
was formed at Oakland Councilman Rob
ert b. Wallace OF this city was selected
president of the Cummins organization with
Representative r. j Martin of Hancock
as vice president and Hon. J. II. jerks
Of Avoca as secretary and treasurer. John
Fletcher, mayor of Avoca, was selected
to take charge of the campaign in the
east end.
The league plans to carry on a vigorous
campaign throughout Pottawattamie county
between this and the county convention
on May %, when in addition to naming a
county ticket delegates will be selected to
attend the state, congressional and judicial
| conventions. Governor Cummins' friends
! are becoming more sanguine daily of their
J ability to carry Pottawattamie county with
| its thirty-fve delegates for him.
Five Counties for CummIns
Reports from several parts of the state
show that Governor Cummins on Saturday
| carried Ida. Clay, Plymouth Grundy and
! Calhoun counties, while the standpatters,
] or anti-Cummins people, carried Taylor
/ county. Leading republicans I this city,
although opposed to Governor Cummins
/ being accorded a third term, admit that in
| their opinion he will win out and be re-
/ nominated.
President Wallace of the Cummins league
stated yesterday that the city will be or
] ganzed this week. A meeting will be held
| this afternoon at which arrangements for
! the Cummins meeting May 10 will be
| made and a chairman named. In every
voting precinct in this city, as throughout
! the county, a vice president and secretary
of the league will be selected and it is ex
pected that from fifty to seventy-five vice
| presidents will be present at the meeting
here and occupy seats on the stage.
