fodebolt Chronicle.)

(Odebolt Chronlcle.)
Governor Albert B. Cummins is a
candidate for United States senator to
succeed William B. Allison.
Iowa needs Albert B. Cummins in the
senate. It ought to have placed him
there long ago. He should have been
chosen when John H. Gear was elected
the second time, and would have been
but for bribery and corruption en-
ployed by the railroads of the state.
No man has done anything like as
much for the people of Iowa as Gov
ernor Cummins. He has fought for
their rights and interests on every oc-
casion for many years. He faced a
hostile committee in washington when
no other Iowa man appeared to plead
for the people of this state and routed
Elkins and Foraker on their chosen
ground. In three notable campaigns
one for senator and two for governor
he encountered the united strength
of corporation opposition and van
o1,fshed in the first won victory in the
others. He expended his slender means
and nearly sacrificed mis- health in bat
Ting for reforms. But for his leader
shin not one of the statutes of which
Iowa is proud would have been enacted
during the past four years. Had he
not become candidate for third
term against his inclination no reform

SHAW TO cuMMlNs.

It Is no reporters dream that Shaw
has proposed truce to Cummins
whereby the latter Is to be given a
clear field for the senate in exchange
for the support of Iowa's delegation to
Shaw for the presidency. 1t is true.
Shaw wants to be president and still
thinks that he can be nominated If
Iowa would only support his nomina-
ton.
The newspaper story is incomplete,
In that no mention is made Of the re-
ception given to such a proposition at
the governors mansion: however, 1T
would not be difficult to imagine the
interview. If Governor Cummins were
a place seeker, if he We're in politics
solely for Cumnins, he could very
plausibly cry for peace, be magnani-
nous and concede the delegation to
Shaw and let Shaw's friends remove
opposition from in front of his way. II
he is a sincere man. standing for
things, for issues, for real works in
public life, he would have to reply to
Shaw that If Shaw would come over
to the progressives and become a real
progressive he would be entitled to the
favors and preferments that the pro-
gressive crowd might naturally bestow
upon one of their number so able as
he. For the governor 10 bargain and
traffic the state delegation to secure
an office for himself might prove a
purchase in which he could not meet
his payments, and it certainly would
be an abandonment of worthy public
purpose in his politics for personal ag-
grandizement.
Shaw might be willing to let Iowa
send man to the senate who opposes
the things which Shaw has heretofore
supported, but it would not be like
Cummins to swap Iowa to the OPPOSE
ton on presidential nomination for
a place for himself. Nobody seems to
know what reply the governor made to
the suggestion, but it would not be diff
ficult for those who know the governor
intimately to write that reply in ad-
vance Of its delivery.

FLYING FISH.

An interested crowd of spectators
gathered near the milldam Monday to
watch large school of carp endeayor-
ing to leap the dam from the lower side
and get into the pond above. They
were, some of them, mohstrous fellows.
The strongest could throw themselves
about three feet up on the slanting side
of the spillway, but none could come
anywhere near getting to the peak.
Just why these carp know that the
deep river above the dam. with Its
muddy bottom, Is better suited to them
than the rocky and sandy bottom, swift
current and shallow water below the
dam is, would be difficult to tell.

| Tossing indignation now, when Cum
Minis is candidate, he was silent When
last fall John F. Lacey announced that
he would be candidate for Allison.s
seat and Walter l. Smith was entered

pareil. Lacey and Smith are Blythe's
! henchmen; either would do, his bid
ding. Could he put one of them In the
! senior senator's place he would be the
| first to kick the chair from under the
old gentleman of Dubuque. Blythe
urges Allison's reelection only to de-
| feat Cummins. He knows that, like
Gear, Uncle William would not serve
out his term; but something might
turn up in the interim which woul Z
give Blythe new hold.
Dolliver will also oppose Cummins
with the little influence he has left.
| Ungrateful and envious, he can never
| forgive Cummins for permitting his re-
| election last winter: and he cannot en-
dure the thought Of being dwarfed, by
an ADLER colleague. Thru hiss chief
counselor, George E. Roberts, the jurl-
| to the governors candidacy.
Then we have the Sioux City Journal
asserting that the clause in the prl-
mary law providing for vote on the
office of senator is not binding; that
If majority of the republicans OF the
state vote for Cummins the will Of the
people so expressed can be disregarded
by the members of the legislature.
The fight is on, the same old fight,
The issue is plain. Shall the corpora
tons be permitted to defeat Cummins
for senator? When he ran for governor
last year like question was answered
in the negative. We are confident that
the republicans of the state will stand
by their gallant leader and elect Albert
B. Cunlmins to succeed William B. AL
lison.

That has blown across the meadows

That has played among the tree tops.
that has strayed the woodland
over
oh, there's no breeze like the June

blow.
There's no sunshine like the sunshine
which the month of June dis
covers.
With Its golden CLEAN of brightness
and its tender warmth of tone,
Soft as kiss Of little children, fair as
bliss of happy lovers
There's no sunshine like the sunshine
@ which this month has made it's
own.
Oh, there's no time like the June time,
made of happiness and honey:
Then its sorrows to the background,
and rejoicing to the fore.

her days are sweet and sunny
Oh, there's no time like the June
time, best and blest forevermore.
