Letters and Statements Published
When Running For Governor
Not Intended to Stand Az
ter Race Was Won.

Des MONIES, Dec. 16.-Goyernor
Cummins has replied to the Dolliver
and Torbert letters by announcing his
candidacy against Senator Allison in
1908. In his statement he admits
that he told Mr.. Torbert when he was
running for governor in 1905 that he
did not expect to ever oppose Senator
Allison" but he explains that this
does not hinder him now because at
that time he expected 'Iowa's Grand
Old Man" to retire before this time.
The Governors Statement.
The governors statement follows:
With regard to an alleged con-
versation with Mr. Torbert in the fall
of 1905, have this to say: That while
have often spoken kindly of Sena-
tor Allison to Mr. Torbert, and mas
much as Senator Allison had said to
( me that he did not intend to follow
the example of certain senators, whom
he named and remain in the senate
after the impairment OF his strength
and yigor, undoubtedly told Torbert,
as ! told scores of other friends. that

Il assert with the utmost direetness
and emphasis that never promised
Mr. Torbert nor anybody else, either
directly or Indirectly, that | would not
become candidate against Allison.
/ make this assertion broad enough to
cover everybody and every day of
every year.
Respecting the Torbert letter,
have this to say: stated the exact
truth in an exact way, and none save
those who are hunting an opportunity
to pervert my meaning can find in it
a pledge that | would never oppose
Mr.lAllison. II 1t pledged me to ALI
son for 1909, it would, suppose pledge
me for 1915, If he lives until then, and
so on during his natural life. 1t is alb
surd to put such construction upon
it. and no fair minded man will do it..

"For the last three months have

GOVERNORS ASSURANCES TO DU.

Mr.. Torbert Says. He Got Direct State.
ment From Chief Executive
When he Was Candidate
For Third Term.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 14.--In an
interview on the subject, Senator 3ol-
liver said that when in his speech at
Council Bluffs he made reference to
assurances, given the friends of Sen.
tor Allison by Governor Cummins dur
ing the latter's campaign a year ago,
he was so well satisfied that such as.
surances were given and that the fact
was so well known to people in Iowa
that he never dreamed that the gov
ernor would deny having given them.
On account of the governors denial
and notwithstanding his reluctance to
become involved in any question of
veracity with the governor in defense
of his own word he at once sent a
letter to Willard H. Torbert, merchant
at Dubuque, Iowa, as follows:

terms the report which was in circula-
tion that he sought to supercede ALI
son as a malicious falsehood set afioat
by his enemies to injure him with the
people. He asked the support of Sen
ator Allison's nearest friends upon
written assurances over his own sigma.

election and that reports to the con.
trary were calumnies designed by his
adversaries to compass his defeat"

lions of that kind are untrue. / might

In view of this denial | take the lib
erty to ask you to advise me fully as
to the correctness of my information.
If any such verbal statements were
made to you / wish you would kindly
let me know what they were and if a
letter was received by you on the sub
ject from Governor Cummins and you
do not regard it as of a confidential
nature | wish you would send me a

Following is Mr.. Torbert's reply:
Dubuque, Ia, Dec. IL, 1907. Hon.
J. P. Dolliver, Washington, D. c.
Dear Senator: | have received your
letter of Dec. g. For many years
have been an admirer and warm sup
porter of Governor Cummins in all
his campaigns. On Oct 10, 1905, he
was in Dubuque and his candidacy
for denomination and reelection as
governor became the subject of a
conversation between us. Suggest.
ions had been frequent that he was
an aspirant for Senator Allison's place
in the senate and that his renomina-
ton and reelection as governor would
only strengthen him for the contest
with Senator Allison. These intima-
lions were not only hindrance in my
work for the governor, but felt that
could not properly do anything injur.
ious to Senator Allison and so on that
occasion mentioned to him that these
suggestions were being made and he
told me positively that SO long as
Senator Allison desired to be senator
from Iowa, he, Cummins. would be
his tAllison's) friend and supporter,
carried this assurance to number of
Senator Allison's friends who thought
might be induced to support Mr.. Cum
Minis in his candidacy for the COVER
Worship.
Their responses were somewhat
slSeptical and gave me the idea that it
would be of advantage to Governor
Cummins to give to me written
statement on this subject which l
