Des Moines, Iowa, August 1.-The
republican state convention today re-
nominated Governor A. :. Cummins
for chief executive on the first bal
lot, completed the nominations for the
state officers, with but a few contests
adopted platform favoring "reci-
procity inaugurated by Blaine, and
advocated by Mckinley and Roose-
velt," and adjourned. The other

Garst.

row.

ton, John y. Riggs.

Reporter of court--W. W. Crom-
wall.

All fears of a split in the conven-
ton, with the subsequent uncertainty
of two republican tickets in the field
disappeared when Cummins strength
developed in the district caucuses
held this morning and the convention
was as harmonious as any ever held
in the state.
Cummins, as he claimed all along,
had a majority of the delegates and
the action of the state central com
mittee in adding to the temporary
organization some Perkins delegates
did not interfere with the control of
the situation. His friends controlled
not only the committee on credentials
but secured the adoption Of the plat
form they submitted to the commit
tee on resolutions.
The action of the state centra
committee in putting lightweight OF
the contesting Perkins delegates or
the temporary roll was not sustained
by the committee on credentials who
reported in favor of demanding only
thirteen of them.
The report of the committee OIL
credentials, while not unanimous, was
unanimously adopted by the conven
ton, and the committee on resolu
tions submitted unanimous report
After Cummins was renominated
a committee was appointed to escor,
him to the platform. He made lit
tie speech, in which he said that the
thing nearest his heart was the re
publican party.
George ID. Perkins was also called
for and was received with cheers
He said that in the future as in the
past, he would be loyal to the repub
lcan party and re-enlisted in its ser
vice. He added that he had advocat
ed certain things because he believed
them to be true, and that he woult
continue to advocate them. His re
marks we're greeted with cheers.
The platform adopted says in part
"We are uncompromisingly in IA
vor of the American system of pro
lection. Duties on foreign imports
should not be levied for revenue only
but should be so adjusted as to pro
mote our domestic interests, enlarge
our foreign markets, secure remuner
alive prices for the products of ouI
factories and farms and maintain
superior scale of wages and stand
ard of living for American labor
Wise and unselfsh tariff laws main
tained in the interest fthe genera
welfare, equally opposed to foreign
control and domestic monopoly, are
essential TO our commercial and in
dustrial prosperity. We believe tina,
all inequalities in the tariff schedules
: which inevitably arise from changing
industrial and commercial condition,
should be adjusted fro mtime to tim'
and condemning without reserve al
assaults upon the protective system
we favor such reasonable and timel,
changes as will keep the tariff in har
mony with our industrial and CONNER
cial progress. We favor reciprocity
