the last time, for my opponents are

While Cummins thus takes the Of
fensive and aggressively f1aunts his
battle banner to the breeze it is inter-
esting to turn to- the other side of the
equation and inspect the public rec
ord of the man whom Cummins will
endeavor to unseat. Senator Allison
was born March 3, 1929, and thus ap~
breaches his seventy ninth birthday.
He commenced. his congressional ca
reer back in the Thirty eighth congress.
He served in the lower house at Wash
to the United States senate for the
term beginning March 4, 1873. Sen

35 years of experience in the senate

FIGHT FOR A SENAToRSHIP
CumInins and Allison Are Forming
Their Lines of Battle.

- Des Moines. Ia, Dec. "a battle
between political giants Is destined to
make Iowafa Republican arena of in
transitional prominence during the
year to come. The die has been cast.
the challenge has been taken and ac-
cepted. The legions are in battle
array, the chieftains. are in shield and
buckle. The scrap is on.
Governor Albert Cummins is one of
the most famous. If not the most ia
nous of all existing governors of
states in this Union. He has figured
prominently time and time again in
the Republican news and has even
been prominently mentioned as
presidential possibility. Back in the
days when Leslie M. Shaw was secre-
tary of the United States treasury and
was hailed as Iowa's favorite SON for
the Republican presidency, even then
Governor Cummins' star was in the as
tendency and even then his presf-
Dental boom cast shadows across the
hopes of Shaw.
But the lineS. ef battle has shifted.
1t is no longer Shaw and Cummins,
both presidential possibilities and
Minis, with a United States senatorship
as the coveted prize.
AS Cunmins is prominent and i'm
portant among the governors of
William B. Allison prominent in the
upper house of congress. He is the
nestor of the senate. he is wheel
horse of Republican party success.
He Is a statesman of splendid scope
and abilities He is a favorite among
his Washingto associates and be-
loved Of his native state.
Governor Cummins has just issued
formal announcement of his candidacy
for the, senate to succeed Allison. "A
public statement comes from the Iowa
state house settling the matter be-
yond all doubt. The statement Is
elected by the publication of corre-
spondence purporting to, show Cum
Minis agreement not to oppose Allison
for. reelection. o. The governor now
positively denies ever having made a
pledge to Allison or his friends. He
utterly repudiates the report of con-
versatfon to that effect and declares
that the question of his good faith
will have to be submitted to the peo-
pie for their decision along with the
senatorship at the primary election
next June. This is the conclusion of
Cummins' declaration of war; my

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 25.-After an easy open
ing caused by reports of wet weather
throughout the west the wheat market
today closed strong and higher because
buying for export. At the close July
wheat was up 11<d1ss; December was II
G142 higher, and September was up 1149
12s. Corn was up q. Oats were 14Q2s
higher, and provisions were ~ lower to
~ higher.
The wheat market throughout the day
was nervous and responded readily TO
either bullish or beariSh influences The
volume of trade was light compared to
the market during the earlier days of the
week At the opening prices broke some
what on the report of rains throughout
the west. although even this was offset
by the prediction of the weather bureau
that colder weather would follow the
rains. Prices rallied sharply, however,
soon after the opening decline. Advices
from abroad were decidedly of bullish
character. 1t was reported that bad
weather throughout the continent of Eu-
rope is affecting the crop strongly, and
Liverpool was reported as strong in re-
Spouse to these advices 1t was also de-
clared that mercantile grain houses had
re-bought cargOes off the English coast
at a material advance. II was also de-
clared that English and continental buy
ers were bidding stiffly for cargoes of all
sorts of grain. From Manitoba came
statements of an excellent demand for
export, and reports Of much re-seeding
to other crops of land formerly intended
for wheat. Under these advices the mar
ket steadily advanced and closed strong.
July wheat opened hdA to 2sGh lower
at 1885, to 90. sold between 1885 and I.01.
and closed at 1.OO1z. September opened
3sad5 10 5sdA lower, at 1915 to LOCAL. co.'s 3,
sold between 997s and LOO. and closed at
1.017sa102. December opened 4 to Y low
er. at 1-O05sa1.01, sold between 101A and
1.03, and closed at 1.02ss
The corn market held strong and steady
all day, despite the reports of rain
throughout the corn belt. July corn
opened i and y higher at So to $685..
and, after selling at 53$4, closed strong
at 525s.
The oats market was affected by the
strength of other grain and by rain re-
ports from the west. July oats opened
unchanged TO q lower at AZ to 47ss, sold
between IA and AIS and closed firm
at 475sd47$-
The provision market was dull all day
Prices were easier at the opening because
of weak market for live hogs. but July
pork closed higher, principally on the
covering of shorts. At the close July
pork was up ~. lard was down ~ and
ribs were 21zQ5 lower.

The official statement Of the New York

more favorable from the borrowers point
of view, than was expected, in that IL dis

which was looked for. Though loans were

was comparatively small. With the in

reserve requirements were augmented,

basis of deposits less those of s31. e6S 900

Loans increased $3.50, 800 though the

stock exchange seemed to call for ma

deposits was reduced during the week by
