mat THIS call TO leadership mas
anything to do with the personal am
billions Of Governor Cummins is abb
surd. There are times when principles
tower above the ambitions of men and
this is one of those times. Governor
Cummins's denomination means much
for the future welfare Of the state and
for that reason it will support his cam
didacy.
[Burt Monitor, Kossuth County]
If you stand for good clean, and
honest administration of state affairs,
support Hon. A. B. Cummins, who
stands for the people and dares to do
that which benefits the people most
regardless Of corporations.
[Grinnell Register, Poweshiek Countyl
If it is to be choice of two ma
chimes in the coming gubernatorial
campaign give us the one which stands
for anti corporation-its headquarters
are not located in Burlington. 1t
will require more summary measures
than the passage of an anti-pass law
to divorce Iowa politics and certain
Iowa legislators from the Blythe influ-
ence.
Esprit Lake Beacon, Dickinson Coun
ty]
In the presence of the existing
emergency the third term boyle has
no terror for the people. 1t is principles
not precedents they desire to establish
Cummins has been true. He will not
finch Tried as by fire in the crucible
of persecution his metal is the real
article. All his strength has been ded-
icatedto his service Of clean and eff
ficient administrations; of putting the
corporations out of politics; of giving
every citizen his due influence in poll
tics; of wiping out the pass system; of
abolishing discrimination in transport
tation against individuals and locali-
ties; of securing "a square deal, no
more, no less" to every person in this
free country. The people know this.
Some other progressive republican
might as bravely assault the citadel of
standpatism, but the people know just
what Cummins will do under fire.

test for the third time with a record
of four years of faithful service for the
people. During his administration he
has dared to defy 'the powers that be"
and veto the famous railway merger
bill introduced in the legislature some
years ago in the interest of the Nor
thern Securities Company and as
member of the executive board has de-
manded that the great railway sys-
TENS of the state bear just burden OF
taxation This record meets with the
approval of the Photograph and for
that reason it will give support to the
candidacy of Hon. A. B. Cumrnins
Howard County Times1
The people of Iowa are becoming
suspicious of any man or measure that
has the endorsement of j. Blythe.
Call it blind prejudice or anything
you wish, but the fact still remains. 1t
is the penalty that any politician must
suffer who serves special interests as
against the interests of the people as
whole.
[Northwood Anchor, Worth County]
The state never had better govern
or and his experience in office will
enable him to do still better work. Or
dinarily the Anchor would not favor a
third term, but under the circum-
stances, with the railroad interests
against him, Governor Cummins in
against him, Governor Cummins as
the champion of the people. deserves
the support of every elector, who
wants square deal.
[Arispe Wide Awake, Union County.1
This paper is first and last for AL
bert B. Cummins for governor, third
term or even more in preference to
man like Editor Perkins, who breaches
"harmony" and expresses no thought
of his own but toadys to the interests
of railroad machine.
INIT Ayr News, Ringgold Countyl
The chief danger to the Cummfns
cause will lie in ver-conf1dence. The
progressive republicans will need to
keep their powder dry" for few men
yet appreciate the tremendous efforts
that will be put forth to stifle Iowa's
voice on the issues now pressing for
solution.
[Atlantic Messenger, Cass County.l
No other candidate represents so
conspicuously and so ably the wants
of most of the people of Iowa, and it
is natural to infer that the people will
see to it that he is nominated and
elected by larger ma Serity than three
years ago.
Iodebolt Chronicle Sac County,
He does not seek denomination be-
cause he wants to be governor for an
other term; he becomes a. candidate
