even allowing that the liberal an
didates were not very strong, as the
seats were practically uncontested at
the last general election. and though
the liberal organization was not as
good as III other parts of the country,
the results ut Birmingham are Of the
highest Importance. They prove the
groundlessness of the liberal conten-
ton hat this general election has
killed the fiscal agitation for a genera
ton to come. Besides showing the,
undated confidence of Birmingham in
MI. Chamberlain. the results there go
also to conform with what already has
been noticed in isolated contests. that
the candidates who openly pressed pro-
t%ectionist leanings had good support
and in some cases were victorious.

For week ending June 4, 1905
The week opened with a light
frost, which was generally harmless.
The first half was unseasonably cool,
but the latter part brought normal
temperature, closing with light
showers. The relatively dry weather
has been favorable for cultivating
corn. and there is sufficient moisture
in all fields for the present needs of
that crop. The reports indicate
that the sand is generally better
than usual
In some localities the deficiency Of
moisture has checked growth of
small grain and hay crop, but in the
larger part of the state these crops
are doing fairly we'll. The pastures
are maintaining a good supply of
forage. Potatoes, garden truck and
the minor products are in a promis-
ing condition. The season as a

nes Moines, H., May 29.-Governos
Cummins' voice has almost completely
given out under his strenuous cam
paign for the gubernatorial nominal
ton against George d. Perkins. Sem
ator LaFollette, 1t was given out by
Governor Cummins, has consented to
come to Iowa to assist him in his cam
.paisn, relieving him Of many Of his
speaking engagements.
Up to date Governor Cummins has
COB instructed delegates, Perkins 543
and Major Rathbun of Marion, another
"stand-pat" candidate, 90 delegates. 1t
is conceded that in a pinch in the
convention the Perkins and Rathbun
forces would sympathize and unite
one way or the other rather than sub
NIT to Cummins. nomination.
Cnmmins' hope is to get the s21 dele
gates necessary to nominate on the
first ballot. There are sixty delegates
chosen whose seats will be contested.
This makes total selection Of 1906
delegates. In the convention 1,G40 will
have seats. Accordingly 434 delegates
remain to be chosen.
Perkins has made appreciate gains
upon Governor Cummins during the
last two weeks, but these gains In
support were in counties for the most
part which We're against the governor
in his last campaign in 1901.
The contest ut the present time
however, is very close and the develop
ments of the county conventions dur
ing the next week may settle the
strife. 1t is this importance which
has prompted Governor Cummins to
bring his friend LaFollette into the
Iowa field. With narrow margin be
tween the two contending Republican
aspirants for the Republican nomina.
ton there is now talk OF dark horse
candidate.
A table prepared by The State Capt..

and go against him.
