UNCERTAIN IN IOWA.
All old Party Ties Wm De Broker

All old Party Ties wm Be Broken
 Today.
 Des Moines, Ia.. Nov. 5.-The guber- material campaign in Iowa closed to- day with the Republican candidate Governor Cummins. speaking at Du- buque and Porter. Democrat, speaking in Des Moines.
 While the general impression pre- vails that Cummins will be reelected yet there Is underneath all a feeling of uncertainty. There has never be- fore been another such situation in Iowa politics as tonight, and old party ties promise to be more ruthlessly dis regarded in tomorrow's voting than ever before.
 Bitter pre-convention fights in the Republican Party has not been forgot ten. On the other hand many Demo- crats have for years been admirers of Cummins's liberal views and his anti corporation attitude and will vote for nim. How nearly the two clements will 'ounterbalance each other. however. is
 @N'Y ' y~att"r of speculation. The fundamental hope of the Republican managers lies in the s0,000 plurality for Cummins three years ago.

CAMPAIGN IN IDAHO.
Greatest Interest Now Attached to
 Mormon Vote.


 Boise, Idaho. Nov. 5.-The campaign closed in this state tonight with the situation badly mixed and both par ties claiming the state on state and legislative tickets.
 Greatest interest now attaches to the plan launched by Senator Dubose of challenging all Mormon voters. It is said at Democratic headquarters that this has kept a great many Nor mons from rc istering but the Re- publicans insist these people have reg istered and will vote
 The challenging is to proceed yon the ground that the church teaches poly gamy as shown by the testimony and acts of it's heads and that members of the church are therefore, disqualified from voting under the provisions of the state constitution. This challeng ing is avowedly for the purpose of lay ing the foundation for a contest in congress If MT. Borah be elected sena- tor.
