PERKINS makes REPLY TO CuMM|Ns
lntimates That the Executive Refusal
to Arbitrate May Lead to
Bolt,

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July 4.-The
following extract from an editorial in
indicates the position he will take,
now that Governor Cummins has re-
fused to submit the contests of dele
gates to arbitration before members
of the republican national committee:
Assuming that Governor Cunmins
refusal to consider amicable arbitra-
ton is final, what is the situation?
The contests remain although it is
the governors judgment that they
should be dropped, all of them, that is,
except his own. The contests are
numerous. Shall all these contests be
settled by the uncontested delegates
in the convention, after the creden-
perfunctOry report?
1.-The delegates will have no means
merits of the contests and the dispo-
sitiOn may be as it always has been,
to vote in accord with sympathy.
(Which side will have the majority
of uncontested delegates? There is
no means of telling in advance of the
convention. In a game Of maneuver-
ing such as might ensue, the whole
membership of the convention might
be contested. Most Of the contests
might be fakes, but how could that
fact be determined?
1.-The procedure advised by the gov
ernor leads toward conflict and dis
ruptiOn. 1t might readily mean one
nomination or two nominations, which
no good republican would care to ac-
cept"
