Des Moines, June Is. - Governor
Cummins starts today for Pittsburs
and his old college In western Penn
sylvania. He has been under engage
ment many months to speak at the col
tlege commencement Of Waynesbura
college, where he used to play first bas:
on the college base BAH team and 9th
er, stunts. Last February the Pittsburs
board Of trade sent special messen.
ger to Des Moines to induce the gov
ernor to speak In Pittsburg on the tar
III on a certain day in March. The gov
ernor could not go then but promised
IL they would make date so he could
speak at the time of going to Waynes
burg, he would do so. They have ar
ranged for that meeting and he speaks
pie are making great preparations for
the event. Several governors Of states
have been invited, including the gov
ernors Of Pennsylvania, West Virginii
and Ohio. There will also be speakers
from New oYrk and elsewhere. Pitts
burg has long been regarded as tn.
heart of extreme high tariff sentiment
and 1t Is, stated these people want to
know exactly the view of the governor
of Iowa. The governor has not as VET
prepared his speech but 1t is safe to
say that he will talk protection ano
touch upon the need Of cutting off
needless rates and he will hardly gain
the applause Of the high protection
lists.
The Des Moines people who went to
the annual encampment In Dubuque,
return immensely pleased with the re.
ception there and with the program.
Several OF them spoke with pleasure
over the fact that Senator Allison APP
pears to be in such excellent health.
One of them declared 1t to be his be-
lief that the senior senator has not
been in as good physical condition III
ten years as he is today and that he IL;
perfectly capable, IL he decides upon
entering the race for che senate again,
to campaign the state from one end to
the other in old time fashion. They
declare that the stories which have
been. published in Chicago, st. Louis
and other papers emanatins from
Washington regarding the Ill health OF
the senator have no foundation In
fact.

The fact was brought out at Boone
the other day that to Marvin Hughitt
more than to any one other is due the
fact that some forty years ago the or
der of railroad engineers gai8ed foot
hold in the west. There was reunion
Of the members and former members
Of the division OF the engineers BROTH
the books Of the order, the frst one or
ganized west Of Chicago. One Of the
veteran engineers told at the reunion
how they organized in secret and how
afterwards the railroad officials tried
to break 1t up and how some Of the old
members were discharged because
they Joined. Finally they did most OF
their work in the big kitchen of the
hJnse u one 81 the members at Boone.
Finally Marvin Hughitt was appointed
Of the division. The en-
giheersi had learned that he was a pref
ty square sort of q man and they de-
cided upon making clean breast Of It
to him. They did so, and he told them
plainly that he would recognize their
order and do business only thru their
committee and for them to go ahead.
They proceeded at once to organize the
Northwestern system, and it has re-
niained to this day one OIL the best or
ganized and most satisfactory managed
systems of the country. Marvin Hugh
lit gave the engineers their start in the
west. The Boone order has fiourished
for forty years. Some Of those pres
ent have been running engines ove- 40
years and q great many thirty years
and are, still good.
