CUMMlNS A SURE WINNER

The gubernatorial contest in
Iowa is fast coming to close.
1t may be spectular or it may be
dramatic, but one thing is certain
another chapter in the Iowa po-
litical history will have been
written. Ever since the public
announcement of Hon. Geo. D.
Perkins of Sioux City, and few
weeks later the announcement of
A. B. Cu1nmins, the Iowa contest
opened. One man without money
or its equivalent, backed by the
common people whom he has
served so faithful and we'll, was
pitted against the state organi-
zation, backed by nearly all the
railroads, trusts, corporations,
Office holders, politicians and all
needed money, yet to date Cum
Minis has 1888 delegates uncontest-
ed and instructed; while Mr.. Per-
kins. his closest competitor, has
less then 400 instructed delegates
with II counties yet to hear from.
He only needs 5 more delegates
out of the 10 yet to be selected,
ond most of those counties favor
him. All done but the shou ting
boys.

LODGE OF G. U. o. o. r.
EVENTS OF THE DISTRICT GRAND
BY L, Fl. s. Brown.

Owing to the fact that the enter
this year for the benefit of the visi
tors was under my supervision leads
me to write in the following manner
as II 1t had been my habit for good
many years to visit the sitting of the
grand. am sorry to say that this
year seemed to be the only one in
which there were a large number of
people from all over the state that
came to visit the grand lodge but
with no great degree of enthusiasm
the first night of our entertainments
was largely advertised all over the
state as the delegates voting contest
the delegates themselves seemed to
be the least interested. Every one
was admitted free and after coming
inside they actually refused to vote
for each other and Of course the pub
lie could not get interested until the
delegates did Their failure to do so
made the entertainment given for
them failure. On the second night
when the reception was especially for
the benefit of the excursionists from
Buxton what could be more surpris-
ing to me than to see them pile on
the cars and take to the parks and
every other place of amusement but
the one prepared for them. The CON-
mite had made special arrangements
for the Buxton people and had gone
to great expense with no thought
of such treatment. On Thursday
afternoon l am proud to say that we
had grand and glorious parade. No
lodge, white or black, ever made
better showing and l am satisfied
that the Buxton band never did her.

The program for the afternoon was
not carried out because the Buxton

that the committee had not provided
a special place for them to sit and
on leaving the hall took the crowd
with them to be dispersed in the
streets and Rev. Mendenhall and

there to speak had to be asked by the
