lows Governor Predicts tho Re-
nomination OF tho President.

the next presidential nominee Of the
republican party. He considers Roose-
welt the at leader for the hard politi-
cal campaign that he expects. The
regulation OF Interstate commerce and
the corporations, thru which the bus
iness Is done, will be q paramount
issue, as well as tariff revision.
II am for Roosevelt, and / believe
he will be nominated, said Governor
Cummins without hesitation at the
w hotel in Minneapolis last Friday
to q representative Of the Journal,
when he was asked II he had made up
his mind.
what do you think will be the
paramount issue from the present out
lookup was the next question. The
governor looked intently for a time at

1T must be the condition under
which interstate commerce is carried
on; or, stated otherwise, the regula-

Is carried on
"A FORCED NOMINATION
When the governor vas asked how
he could take this stand as to the re-
publican nomination In the light OF
President R0osevelt's definite state
ment that he would not be q candi-
date, he said; He won't run He
was undoubtedly sincere in his state
ment on the night, Of the election. He
Is sincere yet. He doesn't want to be
ren0minated. He won't lift a hand
to secure It, and will do all he can to
prevent 1t. But he can't prevent 1t.
In my Judgement, however. In spite
OF the presidents attitude, when the
convention meets IL will cast practic-
ally : unanimous vote for him. And
no man can decline to serve his conn-
try under those circumstances.
"It's like this: President ROose-
velt has been engaged In q great work
: work ia which the people have been
greatly interested and deeply con-
