Cummins Victory Complete

The Cummins delegates rejected
all compromise offers, and practical
ly swept the platter clean at the re-
publican convention in Des Moines
last Wednesday. They burned all
bridges behind them before the con.
vention assembled, by making ii
very plain that they were going to
nominate a ticket regardless of the
action Of the standpatters. No more
militant body Of men ever assembled
in lowa's Capital city.
With two or three exceptions, the
congressional delegation had openly
antagonized the progressives and
they were more than ready to re.
taliate. With two republican tickets
in the field, no republican congress-
man from this state could confident
ly count upon a reelection. That
brought the federal crowd as the
congressional delegation is common
ly called, to their knees. They ig-
nored every plan Of the Perkins.
managers and eatrsated The state
committee to seat enough Cummins
delegates to insure the denomination
of the Governor. They may have
hoped that the progressives would
abide by the action of the state com
mittee, and would have given the
standpatters good share Of the re
mainder of the ticket, but if any
such hope was INDUCED in it was
rnthlessly shattered by the report OF
the commit on credentials. That
committee decided every contest OK
cept one, in favor of the Cumnins
faction, and gave the Cummins men
complete control of the convention
The standpatters emerged from the
wreckage a badly frazzled faction.

accident and exploded other bombs.

We're uninjured.
st. Petersburg, Aug. G.-Probably
not more than 10000 workmen We're
out when the general strike went of
ficially into force at noon. The final
decision to call strike was so hastily
taken Thursday night and the police
since then have been so busy putting
the ringleaders behind the bars that
great confusion prevails among the
various organizations which We're
scheduled to begin striking mt different
places and at different times.
Therefore the Inauguration of the
strike lacks snap and it is evident
that Its success will depend upon the
temper of the masses. The leaders
have been moro or less demoralized by
the energy displayed by the govern
ment In breaking up the workmen's or
ganizato!ns and unless the people
spontaneously respond to the call the
strike must end in early failure.

night G,utinous sailors. soldiers and
sappers aud miners seized Fort Con

were killed and many were wounded,
including Admiral Boaklwisheski.

coupled With the breakdown of the
