Des Moines, June 21.-The close af-
flIiation between the Cummins forces
and the democrats was strikingly DEM
onstrated at the democratic county
convention in Jasper county yesterday
afternoon
The convention nominated candi.
dates for all the county offices except
state senator, and when that position
was reached motion was carried to
leave the place blank on the ticket
| They however made nomination for
member Of the house against John OF.
fill. the present republican member
| from Jasper county
The object of the motion on the part
of the democrats is plain, it is nothing
more nor less than deal, and not a
Square" one either, by which the dem
ocrats of the county agree to vote fol-
Senator Maytag, the Cummins senator
from that county, but will not vote for
John Offill, because Of his activity in
behalf Of Perkins in the recent contest
in that county.
Maytag for cummins.
Senator Maytag is Cummins man
and one of the reputed financial back
ers of the governor in his campaign
The deal means that he is fearful that
his advocacy of Cummins might endan
ger his reelection to the senate and he
| has arranged to receive the democratic
support to save himself and make sure
a vote for Cummins for United States
senator The friends of Mr.. Ohll are
very indignant over the deal they
claim has been made to down Ofil
and elect Maytag.
