SQUARE DEALING
PAYS COMPANIES
Slx7BlTS INSURANCE COSTS
TRlMMERS DEARLY
Property Owners Are cancellna Their
Policies In Unfair Concerns
Because of Attitude at
San Francisco
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-The
honest policy of the dollar insurance
companies Is already being justified by
the Increased amount Of Lusiness pour
Ing into their Offices. There are a
dozen companies in this city which are
writing the heaviest business in their
San Francisco careers.
The sentiment of property owners Is
plainly in favor of those companies
which have stood the storm and stress
of the tempestuous times following the
great fire as against new companies
seeking to enter the field and take ad-
vantage Of their older rivals misfor-
tunes.
Regarding the insurance situation
Attorney General Webb hid today:
This office is preparing for a de-
cisive move and l feel encouraged by
the outlook. However, the ost power
full weapon i'm the hands of the public
is the universal sentiment in favor of
honest settlement, and this is already
showing itself in no uncertain way.
Cancel the Cutters
I'm talking with a banker from
South Dakota 1 find that even as far
away as that they are discriminating
in favor of the dollar companies. He
tOlu iuc lldJ HIS Udllk mas BOIle over
every policy on its own and it's de-
positors' property and has Cancelled
every policy in q discounting company
and placed 1t with one Of those which
has come out fairly and with no quib-
bling In favor of meeting all of its
losses in full.
This Is only one of many instances
which have come under my observa-
tion and such a course must soon make
powerful impression on the insurance
people, encouraging the monest and
discouraging the dishonest ones"
The rush of new business to the
dollar companies Is not only composed
of policies rewritten after cancellation
In others but is caused by the volume
of increased and entirely new insur-
ance. Many are insuring now who
have been careless before and others
who have carried only 80 per cent are
asking for the fullest protection.

VOTES IN IOWA.

Cedar Rapids Republican, few
days ago a certain paper figured it out
that in event Of two republican tickets
in the field, that Mr.. Cummins could
be reelected with the aid of few
democratic votes. The assumption
was made that democrats plenty would
vote for the third term candidate
But in reply to that position we ex-
pressed grave doubts about the wis.
dom of either faction in the republi.
can party relying on democratic votes;
that the democrats would be more
likely to vote their own party's ticket
this year. This is the last election in
Iowa preceding the presidential cleo
ton in which Iowa democrats will
stand for Bryan. A show Of
strength in this state this year is an
essentia! preparation for the presiden-
tial campaign.
But the Vinton Eagle has gone fur.
Their than to show that democrats will
vote their own ticket this year. 1t
shows that they have not been voting
the republican ticket in past elections
in Iowa.
1t is widespread notion that Mr..
Cummins in his two elections smash
ed republican records. But that is not
the case. In 1899 Leslie M. Shaw, for
governor polled 239,464 votes and
Fred White, democratic candidate
for governor, polled 183,3O1 votes.
Two years later, Mr.. Cummins, for
governor polled only 226,193 votes. or
nearly 10000 less than Shaw had

polled two years before. Mr. Cummins'
majority, however, was the larger.
since only 143,7S3 votes were recorded
for his democratic opponent Mr.. Phil
lips. The democrats simply did not
vote for their candidate that year.
That year 1856 republicans did
not vote and 39,518 democrats did not
vote. But it does not appear that any
number of democrats voted for the
republican ticket.
In 1908, 23S,S0S republicans voted
for Mr.. Cummins, still falling six hun
dred votes short of the Shaw record.
The conclusion must be that no con-
siderable number of democrats voted
for Cummins that year. He did not
run thousand ahead of his party tick
ct that year.
There is therefore no warrant what
ever for assuming that democrats
have been voting for, Mr.. Cummins
Except at primaries this year, and
there is no warrant for assuming
that they wiR'vote for him at the gen
eral election this year.
Mr.. Bryan's highest vote in Iowa
was in excess of 100000 votes. No re.
publicans voted for Bryan and that
may be assumed to be about the vot-
Ing strength of the party in this state.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Cummins is
stronger now than he was three years
ago. With Bryan himself speaking in
Iowa for strong democratic candi-
date the chances are that close to
100000 democratic votes could be poll
ed and a second republican ticket in
the field would cut Mr.. Cummins' vote
down to 100000, If it would not actu-
ally cut the republican vote in two
parts.
Republicans who want to see a re.
publican victory in Iowa this year had
better abandon the effort to figure out
such victory in spite of split in
the party. 1t can not be figured out
The way for republicans to succeed
this year is to go before the people
with a united strength.

DoLLIvER AND pREsIpENcy

Rockwell City Advocate: Some
tnlng IKE ten years ago the Advocate
predicted that j. P. Dolliver would
grow into the presidential class Of
statesmen. He is there. The sugges
tlon of Mr.. Delivers name as a presi
Dental candidate made at the big re-
ception in Fort Dodge few days ago
was not based on neighborly good will
alone. There is evidence that Dol
liver candidacy would be recognized
all over the nation as strong one. Max
ing all allowances for the ephemeral
compliments bestowed upon every
prominent man by enthusiastic friends
and industrious space writer's, the fact
remains that the nation has slowly but
surely come to recognition of MT
Doll1ver's ripening statesmanship: and
at the psychological moment. when the
problem Of selecting the next republi
can campaign leader looms large in
the near future, Dolliver is in the pub
lie eye. Railroad rate legislation has
put him there
Much depends upon the issues of the
1908 campaign. Bryan will be the
democratic nominee, unless all signs
fail. If the issue should be the money
question, as it was In 1906 and in a
lesser degree, in 1900, no stronger can
didate could be found than Shaw Of
Iowa, frequently mentioned as a pres
idential possibility; for Secretary
Shaw has been identified more con
spicuously than other statesmen with
the right side of the money question
If the issue should be the regulation
and control of corporations, no strong.
er candidate could be found than Sen.
ator Dolliver, who Is fresh from his
victorious leadership of the fight for
the railway rate bill. Whatever way
it turns Iowa is in a position to fur.
nish an exceptionally strong candi.
date.
Time may play many a trick on us
in shifting the issues, but just now the
public thought is that in 1908 the re.
publican party will plant itself on a
platform pledge to continue the Roose.
self policies for firm, but just and
reasonable, restraint of corporate pow.
er; and the democratic party will
adopt platform Of criticism and com.
parative radicalism Should this be
the situation the republican party will
need a candidate who has been prom.
inent in the contest just ended in con.
gress. Dolliver is such man; and in
such a situation, considering with i'm.
partial judgment all who have been
mentioned, he would seem to be the
best available candidate.
It would be great campaign with
