Des Moines, May 5.--The republican
county convention today gave Cum
Minis and Hull the privilege Of select
ing their own delegations to the state
and congressional conventions respect
tory kind endorsing Cummins were
adopted and the action of the corpor-
/ ations in interfering in state, county
and national politics is severely con-
demned. Congressman Hull was also
highly commended for his work in Sc
curing public improvements for Des
Moines. The convention got into con-
siderable of a tangle over the interpre-
tation of the law regarding the ques-
ton whether candidates for other than
state offices shall be given the full
delegation Of the county. On the de-
cison of the question hinges the sue
cess of several candidates.
