cumMINs WILL. BE A CANDIDATE.

Within the past week a dozen or
more newspapers have asked the ques-
ton: 'Will Cummins be candidate
for a third nomination." The T.-R.
can not speak with any more author
ity on that subject than any other
newspaper for the reason that Mr..
Cummins has not thought it best to
say that he would be candidate but
the Times Republican firmly believes
that he will be a candidate and in this
belief the Times-Republican is fortified
with full confidence that it knows
what it is talking about.
Governor Cummins when he consults
his personal interests would much
prefer to return to his law practice for
the very sufficient reason that he needs
the money. Like LaFollette, who was
compelled to go on the lecture plat
form to pay his campaign debts, Gov
ernor Cummins has spent twice as
much every year he has been governor
as the income of the office has been
worth to him. He was not rich man
when he began and the, process will
cease to be funny in time. He was
enjoying the largest income as law
yer known to the profession in Iowa
but when he entered politics that in
come stopped while his manner of
living being established went right on.
To be governor another two years
would not particularly advance his
political prospects and it would entail
q personal sacrifice but Governor
Cummins entered Iowa politics fighting
for a principle and he will never let
go until some man is found who can
continue that fight successfully. When
he ran for the nomination for gov
ernor Mr.. Blythe and one other rail-
road attorney were able to dictate
nearly every nomination for public Of
flee in this state. Men who wanted
to receive public honors journeyed first
to Burlington or to Judge Hubbard
A governor of Iowa himself snatched
from obscurity to the executive chair
by these same Warwicks, gave Mr.
Blythe and Mr. Hubbard two vetoes
before he appointed United States
senator. Mr.. Hubbard is dead but Mr.
Blythe is living and he has fought
Mr.. Cummins necessarily until last
year he won an overwhelming altho
empty victory. He now purposes to re-
establish his power over Iowa nomina-
tions and has brought the Sioux City

United States senator. Judge Evans,
of this county, will have to travel over
his district and get three per cent of
the voters on his petition before he
can get his name placed on the ticket
as a candidate for judge.
THE above from the Hampton
Chronicle is characteristic of the ar
guments of opposition tc primary
law. except its shallowness is IL little
more apparent Marke the conclusion,
that If aspirants of official positions
must make personal appeal to The
party electorate, as the article as
sumes the law would necessitate, the
state of Iowa would come nearer being
an empire than it is the land of the
free" Is it the real conception of the
editor of the principles of q republican
government. or it is q case of ignor-
Ing the distinction between logic ana
absurdity in an attempt to write an
tagonistically 10 his read convictions?
lit is an argument less specious,
more appropriately stupid, than that
Senator Allison would have to don q
pair of overalls and rubber boots and
travel all over the rural districts in
order to secure nomination for the
primaries. What will the readers of
the Chronicle think of its attempt at
eXpounding the proposed law, when
the fact is no proposed measure has
ever contemplated q requirement of
personal presentation of petition
to secure primary nomination?
Judge Evans, was nominated by the
republican voters of Franklin county
by primary system and if he dis
guised himself in ovelalls and rubber
boots during hat primary campaign,
he may not have worn them out, and
the expense of securing the equipment
for state primary will not have to
be repeated

MIR. FtrNK's POSITION,
TSiOuy City Io,,rnaIl


The Council Bluffs Nonpareil seems
to think the statement of Mr.. Funk,
giving his reasons why he could not
support Mr.. Perkins for governor, eX
tremely good--so good that it re-
prints the Funk statement, and then
III editorial comment reiterates what
1t regards as its salient features. To
the mind of the Nonpareil an inter-
esting situation has developed in the
Eleventh district. Doubtless" it says,
Mr.. Perkins IS prepared to reply"
Mr.. Funk has perfect right to
choose his own relations. Being in
possession OF newspaper, 1t is his
privilege to make such charges and
insinuations affecting the character
and reputation of other men as shall
seem to him expedient and justifiable.
Mr.. Perkins is not disposed to Gull
tivate Il personal or factional quar-
rel with him. Apart from the in
tefests of Mr.. Perkins, which in a
personal sense are not of large con-
sequence except to himself, it is be-
lieved to be wise on the part of the
republicans CT this district to main
tain friendly relations and to do what
they can i'll cooperation for the
advancement of their own and the
public welfare.
Mr.. Funk has made plain in his
writing that in June last he was dis
posed to look with favor upon the
suggestion OF Mr.. Perkins as suit
able candidate for the republican
nomination for governor. What he
said in his newspaper at that time
fn int IA mind nf Mr.
Perkins in the matter, for he had
not then as he has not now desired
to be a factional candidate. He
could not then see. as he is unable
now to see. why the party should be
divided into two distinct camps, the
business of either being to hurl invec-
tive at the other.
But the Spirit Lake man, who has
been prominent in what is called the
Cummins faction, processes dissatis-
faction with the general conduct of
The Journal since he extended his
hand few months ago. 1t appears
that Mr.. Funk was hopeful that Mr..
Perkins would line up on his side,
exercising much zeal that he would
see to it that the various editors on
the paper would be to that extent
actuated in the handling of exchanges
and in the preparation of copy from
whatever source as to discriminate
against 1.-The other side,' as Governor
Cummins calls it, and to leave Mr..
Funk free of temptation to criticise.
The conduct of The Journal having
been unsatisfactory to Mr.. Funk, he
has been moved to say that the hope
he entertained in June has been torn
from him.
Now that is the measure of Mr..
Funk's complaint and of his excuse
for taking the back track. If Mr.
Perkins had been willing to be fac
tional candidate, and if he had made
it altogether clear that he was in the
field to oppose "the other side tooth
and nail, Mr. Funk would not have
been compelled, from a sense of duty,
to withhold his support.
If it be true that Mr.. Perkins ought
to be a fractional candidate. and if it be
true that he ought to denounce one ele-
ment of the party and laud another.
then Mr. Funk has the right side and
Mr.. Perkins has the wrong side.

unless he could show that he was not
pledged to the Blythe gang. This
statement was remarkable, consider

another yellow, and so on. The reas-
on is that Washington society is full
of "repeaters." They like to go sew

invitation if they can obtain extra
cards by hook or crook. BY means OF
the use of colored cards they have to
go when they are invited or not at all.
Alice Roosevelt is noted for her
kindness to the Photographic scorpions
and if the reports that class Alice

Congressman pete" Hepburn, who
is in charge of the railroad rate bill IN
the house, tried to get motion thru
that prevented all debate to the meas
ure. This was to forestall the repre-
sentatiyes who like to "skyrocket'
around on any old subject, no matter
what measure is under consideration.
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader protested. "If the precedent Is
set Mr.. Speaker" he said, plaintlvely,
1--WE will become a body that can not
even talk. We are a body now that
can not do anything except talk If we
are not wanted to-" The prospect OF
house that could not talk was too ter
rifying and Hepburn withdrew the
motion.
"Mr. Perkins position on public
questions Is known, Notwithstanding
the doubts Of Mr.. Funk and others"
says the Mason tCty Globe-Gazette.
That is the suspicion awakened by
Mr.. Blythe's readiness to deliver the
goods. But the rest of us would like
to know also.
The treasury statement for January
laws the ghost of the deficit scares
which have been stalking through the
dreams of certain critics anxious to
prove that for revenue producing pur-
poses the Dingley law has outlived
it's usefulness. In 100000 the treas.
ury incurred deficit Of $41,77O, 900
due to an extraordinary expenditure of
$50 900, 900 cash for the Panama Canal
Company's plant and perpetual right
of way across the Isthmus of Panama.
In 19O4-'O5 there was a losing balance
of s23,9S7, OO0-due to increased appro-
priations for ordinary purposes and
no corresponding increase in revenues.
Many critics of pessimistic turn of
mind jumped, therefore, to the con-
clusion that under the Dingley law the
treasury would never again be able to
pay it's way. Deficits in July and
August, 1905, aggregating s1s,5S9,O00,
gave some encouragement to these
theorists, and they began to forecast
a losing balance of s2O,0O0,OOO to $40,-
10000 for 1905-'06

tainly is not his standing as faction

Pettus, when his term expires in 1909,
will be 81, and Senator Morgan, when
his term expires in 1907, will be 50.
1t is noticeable. however, that no bus
mess enterprise depending on its lead
ers for progress and profit is hunting
managers who will be 81 when the
contract expires. Church organizations
superannuate presiding elders and
even pastors long before they have ar
rived at an age when senility is the
rule. And it is likely that both Pettus
and Morgan would refuse on account
of age their sanction to the appoints
ment of a postmaster ten years
younger than either.
