IOWA.

Des Moines, Iowa.-As nearly az
can be told from early returns from
Iowa Governor Cummins will be
elected the third. successive time by

half that. Cummins sustained severe

be elected with Cummins and the

more than a working majority, insur-
ing the return to the United States

the, Republican Governor, was re-

The Republicans expected more of
a cut in their majority. The Demo-

duce Speaker Cannon's normal ma
jority in the Danville district of Illi-

John j. Gardner, of New Jersey,
who was also opposed by Mr.. Comp

Representative Longworth, the
Presidents son-in-law, was another
man marked by Gompers. The pro-
tests of Cincinnati workingmen forced
him to relinquish his designs against
Longworth, who is reelected. The
| Presidents daughter attended her
husbands meetings, and was a figure
in his campaign.
Robert Baker is defeated in Brook
Ign on the anti-pass issue. Morris
| Hilquitt, the Socialist, did not sue
coed in breaking into Goldfogle's dis

One of the surprises of the election
is the defeat Of Joseph W. Babcock,
| of Wisconsin, formerly Chairman OF
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee. Attempts have been made
many times to defeat Babcock, but
they have always failed. The La

A Million q Day For Liquor.

In a recent notable sermon on
"Why the Masses in New York are
Poor" the Rev. DR.. Madison g.
Peters said: "It is estimated that
New York spends 100000 a day
for liquor, most of it bad, which
amounts to more than the entire gov
eminent Of the United States. The
annual drink bill of New York Is
more than the entire amount received
for tariff. The interest on the city's
annual drink bill at four per cent. is
nearly equal to the income Of all the
universities and colleges in the
United States"

Alcohol in Hospitals.

In a speech recently atthe Bishops

gave some remarkable figures to
show how the use of alcohol in hospi-
tails was declining. In 1862 nearly
$4,000 was spent on alcohol in the
London hospitals and $4,000 on
milk; in 1902 the situation was al
most exactly reversed, about $4,000
being spent on alcohol and over $40,-
