| tests Which Have No Basis in Fact
| [By Ora Williams1
! Special to Times publican
| Des Mones, June 16.-The week just
closing has not made any material
change in the political situation. The
| figures kept at republican headquarters
the Cummns committee-lnay differ
somewhat from those kept at the Of
/ flee of Ed. Hunter, but there can be
no questions save as to a very few del
| egations. The taking of Scott county,
following the Shaw appeal, was no
/ surprise. and the delegation from
| Scott will not be put in doubt at the
state convention any, more than will
/ the Black Hawk delegation. There
will be, in fact, SO far as at present
disclosed, Just three contests or pro-
! tests affecting the Cummins side of the
ledger-Wapello, Jefferson and Jasper
and three affecting the Ed Hunter
side of the ledger-Des Moines, Chick
asaw and Montgomery. Bearing this
| in mind the situation may be sum-
married. as follows:

| Grand total Observation-Disclosures. $40
| There will not be agreement as to
what will be done with any of the del
egations scheduled as not instructed
| except as to Fremont and Clarke, pos
sibly, as there are certainly persons in
| the other uninstructed delegations not
| for Perkins in any event. Manager
| Hunter would also raise some question
as to the staying qualities of perhaps
| nf 10 fln1aUotNc listed q
as instructed for Cummins, on what
ground nobody knows.
| 1t will be observed that with the
delegates instructed. the divided dele
cations, the Scott and Poweshiek del
egations, one to be held today and the
other next week. and three other coun-
ties that are easily in the Cummins
column, the progressives have clear
majority of all delegates.
These figures may be safely relied
on by everyone desiring correct
| statement of the situation.
Conventions to be Held.
Shelby and Carroll counties are the
only counties of the state in which
| the dates have not been fixed for the
republican county conventions, Coun-
ty conventions in twelve counties are
yet to be held and in three of these
| the results have already been deter
mined by the caucuses and primaries
These are Scott Poweshiek and Dallas
Today's convention in Scott county
| gives Cumnlins absolute control of the
! state convention on temporary organi-
zation even tho Perkins should carry
; a.4 ,.le -, OF ll4e counties ~ tne stats
and with control of the temporary
organization and the seating of the
Cummins delegates he has the surety
| of the nomination. yet of the counties
| yet to act Cummins has every reason
| to expect to get about two-thirdS Of
| the delegates at least. The dates o.
| the conventions and the number o1
delegates of the counties yet to act ii
