The contest within the republican
party OF Iowa serves to again Illus
trate the growing inclination Of the
present day voters to do little
thinking on their own account. and
to consider political propositions for
themselves instead Of accepting the
judgment OF others as infalIibie and
permitting themselves TO be govern
cd by It. Governor Cummins IS now
a candidate for third term and is
q violent tariff revisionist In the
present canvass just closed in that
state Cummins was opposed by the
President, by both Allison and DoIli-
yer, the Senators from his own state
and by Secretary Shaw. who made
a special pilgrimage TO Iowa to set
the republicans straight in the stand
