SOME STRENUOUS QUESTIONS.
Let Cumnlins Or Any of His Cohorts
Answer If They Can.

Cedar Falls Gazette: The progressive"
press, in order to divert public attention
from the doubtful position of Cummins Is
busy asking questions about the other
man. In order to change the monotony, let
1t answer without equlvocation and direct
Iy the following questions, which will
greatly simplify matters in the public
mind
Why has Cummins not advocated and in
augurated reforms for which he now
clamors during the five years as governor
of Iowa? Could he do more In the future
than he has done In the past? If so, why?
In what respect would he alter the pres
ent duties OF our railroad commissioners?
Is he for square DEAF for corpora
lions as well as for individuals, or is 1t his
intention to discriminate against corpora
lions In favor of Individuals
Is he opposed to corporations, believing
them to be natural enemies?
Is he still in favor Of government owner
ship of railroads?
Does he still insist upon free trade with
Canada?
II he is with Roosevelt. why is It that
he insists upon leading away from Roose-
veltism and everything that Rooseveltism
stands for" as announced by his organ,
the Register and Leader?
Why does he insist upon a revision Of
tariff when the national administration
and our entire delegation in congress are
opposed?
What remedial measures would obtain
in case Of his election that we would not
enjoy in the event of his defeat?
Is Cummins better man, more virtuous,
more honest and characterized by stricter
integrity than he was when openly en-
ployed as a railroad attorney?
In the opinion of Cummins and his forces,
has the republican party been SO dis

sudden and recent fall from grace?
Is not Mr.. Cummins now acting as at
torney in the interests of corporations.

FUNK ENDORSES PERKINS.
Cummins' "NIe Too Vouches for the
Sioux CITY Man.

Spirit Lake Beacon, June 9, 1906: Even
the casual reader has not failed to observe
the frequent favorable mention Of the Aame
of Hon. Geo. ID. Perkins, of Sioux City, In
connection with the Cummins succession to
the governorship. This demonstration has
not been confined to any particular section
of the state. 1t has perhaps | less In
evidence In the northwest, whe, " dis
cussion might embarrass rather L, 7sst
q movement along this line. The aeon
is by no means assured that Mr.. Perkins
will be a candidate for governor. 1t Is
quite too early for him to make definite
nvowal as to his intention or for the people
to get down to the real business Of select
ing candidates for the elections of next
year. 1t is not too early to be thinking
matters over. and particularly as to more
or less important conditions precedent.
Whatever his desires generally In connec-
ton with gubernatorial honors, Mr.. Perkins
would doubtless be free TO admit in the
privacy of his personal counsels that he
would not be inclined TO submit his candl-
dacy to the action of Iowa republicans
without assurance of the practically united
support of the Eleventh congressional dis
trict As natural assumption this may be
taken for granted. For no county, not
even its own. is the Beacon authorized to
speak But it's opinions are Its own, and In
this right alone 1t does not hesitate to say
that II Geo, ID. Perkins sees In the state
situation evidences leading TO the reason
able assistance that with the support of
the Eleventh congressional district he may
be made the standard bearer of his party
in Iowa next year not one of the thirteen
counties should withhold Its vote. For the
public services OF Mr.. Perkins no apology
is needed As a factor In the development
of his state, and particularly the counties
Of his district, he must be given high rank.
As journalist strong in party helpfulness
and public usefulness his eminence Is es-
I facts.
For number OF years the counties Of
this congressional district have dwelt In
practical harmony. That these relations
Shall continue Is among the more impor-
tant Of political consideration In the sew
eral counties. For deliberate reflection IN
this connection there win be no hetfsr time
than In these quiet days earisx \

3 The Challenge.
Hon. A. B. Cummins, Des Moines,
Io.-Dear Sir: In view of the I'M
usual methods you have chosen for
making your campaign for renomina-
ton for the office of governor of Iowa,
the committee in charge of the cam
paign in the interest of the Hon. Geo.
d. Perkins feels that it might not be
improper to suggest a discussion OF
the matters mentioned In your public
speeches and such other questions as
may be deemed to be of interest to
republicans at this time. The COM
mittee therefore has instructed me to
propose to you that a series of joint
debates be arranged between yourself
and Mr.. Perkins to take place during
the months Of April and May at one or
more points in each Of the congress
sional districts of the state. Trusting
that we may receive a favorable re-
ply from you we are, yours very truly.

For the Committee.

railroads to defeat the primary bill.

The Rejection.

Des Moines, TO-, March %, 1906
TO Hon. John II. Jackson-My Dear
Sir: 1 beg to acknowledge yours or
the 21st instant, in which you sug-
gest a series of joint debates between
Mr.. Perkins and myself, to take place
during the months of April and May,
at one or more points in each of the
congressional districts of the state. l
very respectfully decline the sugges-
ton, for many reasons, among which
are:
l. The plan of the campaign In my
behalf has been made. 1t involves all
the time that can give to the public
and I am not willing to be diverted
from the course that I have outlined
for myself.
2. Mr.. Perkins has a newspaper, the
circulation Of which, I am informed,
has recently been very largely in
creased, and he carries on debate
with me every day. He is thus able
to give vent to views upon my candi-
dacy without restraint.
3. Mr.. Perkins and myself are not
the only candidates for governor. One
other has announced his candidacy,
and it may be there will be further
announcements. 1t would be some
what presumptuous to assume that
the nominee must be either Mr.. Per-
kins or myself.
1 beg you to believe I appreciate
the honor you have done me, and
with my compliments to Mr.. Perkins,
I remain yours very truly, -,tr. ..

IN MEMORY OF DIR. RUST
Friends Propose to Put Fine
Window in New Church.

At a special meeting of friends of
the late Rev. j. 0. Rdst, former
pastor of the Edgefeld Baptist
church, held at the old church,
Thursday night, the American says
a movement was substantially start
ed to place memorial window in
the new church for DR.. Rust,
whose dream was the building of
the new church now nearing com
pletion. The matter was brought
up by the personal friends of DIR.
Rust, and the plan is to spend about
$500 for that purpose.
The new church is to cost about
$95, 900, and it will soon be ready
for the windows.
