This question on the part OF an I'M
fair critic is assumed to be squelcher.
Even a friend might be unable to say
off hand. But would he be less en-
barrassed with the query What did
Shaw do? or Drake, or jackson, or
Boies? OF course the record of these
men is full of good meat. but just try
and think reader, what you would say
in answer to the question. Even sup
pose you had the query shot at you.
What has Allison done? The veteran
senator has to his credit forty years of
activity and helpfulness, but what
would you say right from the shoulder
if confronted with the question? 1t is
given to few men, even among the
most faithful and efficient of public
servants, to perform specific acts which
will for years stand In bold relief be-
fore the public.
AS to the present governor the ques-
ton might we'll be changed to What
has not Cummins done?
What executive function has he
neglected?
What is the name Of the Iowa gov
ernor who has more faithfully and eff
ficiently discharged the duties of his
office?
who has been in closer touch with
the Institutions?
Who has made a better pardon re-
cord?
Who has been freer from compromis-
ing ENHANCEMENT?
Who has more successfully resisted
insidious corporation influence?
Has Iowa ever had a governor who
more successfully endured for years
the limelight of malicious scrutiny?
The executive record of Governor
Cummins is known to all men and
what is the matter with it?
Have any scandals disgraced his adj
ministration? Has he trafficked in the
prestige of high office to put money in
his pocket?
Has he permitted the use of an hon
orable name and popular governor for
decoy purposes by any corporation or
combination of men?
Has he permitted personal friends of
political supporters to swerve him
from the path of public duty?
Have not corporations. and combin-
ations and the cohorts of standpatism
assaulted his record almost daily since
he came into public life? And what
has been the result?

Cummins lied. Does any one in Iowa
believe that Cummins lied? When it
comes to a question of veracity, whose
word will you take, Cummin's or Ell
kins'? The mans audacity is beyond
comprehension.
Whether ex-senator Faulkner was
present during the sessions of the inter
state commerce committee is simply
fact. 1t can be proved or disproved by
witnesses. Just as any other fact. When
Cummins says he was present, and did
suggest questions to embarra IS him, is
there a man living who questions this
statement? Ray Stannard Baker, a son
of General Baker, and one of the ablesc
and most reputable writer's in
America, tells his story entirely inde-
pendent of Cummins' story and he cor
roborates Cummins in every detail.
Henry Beach Medina in Golfers. tells
his story entirely independent of Cum
Minis story and he corroborates Cum
Minis in every detail.
The associated press dispatches in all
the daily newspapers in America, while
the committee was in session gave US
the news. and they all told the same
story. and Ex-senator Faulkner was
present all the time.
But this great champion of the peo-
pies cause doesn't say that the attor-
ney for the Southern railway system
was not present, he only tries to con-
vey that impression. He only says that
there was no railway attorney sitting
where he could see him. How disin-
genous? Governor Cummins and Mr.
Baker and Mr. Needham all say that
Faulkner sat all the time. at Senator
Elkins' left and behind him. No Won
