CUMMINS IS HEARD
Iowa Governor Tells Davenport
Audience Why RE Has
Acted as He Has
AT UNION CHURCH MEETING
Declares He Was Deeply Inundated
as a Result of Failure to Prevent
Recent Ring Match.

Governor A. B. Cummins of Iowa
was a speaker at union mass meet
ing at the First Presbyterian church
in Davenport last evening and, as-was
expected, had something to say regard
ing the regulation of saloons in that
city. He defended his past course in
refusing to interfere in local affairs
by saying he favored local option and
would never invoke the aid of the
militia, the only body with police
enforce the laws in any locality unless
the civil officials fail to do their duty
and it seems absolutely necessary that
something shall be done.
Regarding the failure to prevent the
Northumberland fight recently in
Davenport he said he Was deeply hui
INFLATED by the action of the local
militia. He explained that he had
tried to ascertain the nature of the
program through Sheriff Eckhart but
failing in this and being convinced
through advance notices in the press
and the scale of prices that it was to
be a prize fight in violation of law he
ordered the militia out to prevent the
tournament.
Wants More Power.
The governor said he had advocated
at the last session of the legislature
the passage of law giving the gov
ernor power to remove any civil Off
Ger who failed to do his duty in the
enforcement of law. Because of the
failure of the solons to enact such a
measure his hands remain tied in such
emergencies. He stated that he will
continue to advocate the comforting of
such power upon the state executive
Governor Cummins earlier in the
day spoke at the memorial services of
the Davenport Elks, but made no di
rect reference to law enforcement in
this address.
