Conventions and Caucuses Add
More Delegates to the Cum
minis Column
SEVERAL ARE HELD TODAY
cummins Now Has 27 Delegates,
With Several Other Counties Assured
Where Caucuses Have Not Been
Held - Guthrie Center Victory Is
Significant = Progress of Campaign.

Caucuses and Conventions held in
various counties Saturday and today
increase Governor Cummins' lead for
denomination for governor by a large
number of votes. Today Calhoun, Sac
and Fayette counties are holding their
conventions and they will send Cum
Minis delegations, if the instructions
of the caucuses are followed. Perhaps
the most significant development since
the Cummins victory in Dickinson
county was the action Of Guthrie coun-
ty, Herriott's home county, in declaring
for Cummins. 1t practically does away
with the candidacy of Herriott, and in
any event makes coalition of the Per-
kins and Herriott delegates in the state
convention practically impossible.
Summarized the developments are:
Guthrie.
Guthrie County Herriott's home
county Primaries held Saturday.
the county with the exception Of
Stuart, Herriott's home precinct, for
