/ Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov 5.-Some important
results will quickly follow the election
of last Tuesday in Iowa. The settle
| ment of various political matters has
been deferred until this time.
! On the oath Of this month the pres
ent general assembly will meet again
for one day and elect Governor Albert
b. Cummins senator for the uneXpired
Allison term.
The legislators are under written
pledge to meet at that time and elect

The biennial message will be de :
livered by Governor Garst who will
probably give succinct review of the
work of recent years;
About the goth of January Governor

day that Taft is inaugurated
fc 80
the month at the time of the meeting
of the general assembly in special ses-
sion, the republicans of Iowa will have
a celebration in Des Moines to COM
memorate the big victory for the en-
tire ticket and for Taft. The party
has found way to harmony and there
is general desire that the fact be rec
ognized Among the congratulatory
kilograms received yesterday by Gov
ernor Cummins was one which read:
Congratulations: no harm has as yet
come to the republican party
Another was from northern Iowa
admirer, who said: "Hurrah; now we
know who struck Billy Patterson"
In the campaign Governor Cummins
spoke about fifty times in four weeks
He made speeches for the republican
ticket and did not talk of his own in
terests. His addresses were in the
same spirit of support for the party
that has always characterized his po-
litical addresses. The campaign for
Cummins was conducted in an energet-
ic but dignified and fair manner. every
thing above board and in the open,
without bombast or ostentation, AMI
u
the party.
The counting of the votes in Iowa,
owing to the very large number of can
didates, was much slower than ever
before, and not as much was known
Of exact figures at midnight last night
as usually twenty-four hours earlier.
But it is certain that Cummins' ma
jority will be so large that there will
be no question about it.
The enormous vote for Cumnins in
Polk co..rfH came as a surprise t., a
great ma ~ Ee.SrLS. One CT his E., ersl.
said Of this fact:
"The fact is that this was the first
time we ever organized for Cummins
in Polk county. They said that we
spent $4,000 for him in the fight to
beat Sid Foster seven years ago, but I
know that we used just $117 in that
fight. Then we never organized again
We never had to do it, We always
Just let Polk county go as it pleased.
We did that in June last. This time
we organized by precincts and we re-
solved that we would show what could
be done G'hat is the whole story. 1t
takes organ;zation to do the work. And
now the whole country knows that
there are 10000 of the governors
neighhors in his own county who count
him chief alncng our great men"
The vote fer Cunamins in Polk coun-
.y vas 1854. for Lacey. 1857; ma
jority, '.s57.
At Cumn,ins headquarters there was
general regret over the news from the
Eighth district Of the defeat of Hep
ourn. Governor Cumnins had made
more speeches in the Eighth than any
)ther district. Some of his friends had |
;elt he ought to go into other parts
,f the state, but he had said that he
,ealized the republicans of the Eighth |
leeded help more than anybody else
Two years ago it will be remembered
le did valiant work in the Sixth dis
riot and tried as hard and as sim
.erely as anyone could to save that
district. and was eXcoriated for his
,ains, but that did not deter him from
ending helping hand in the Eighth
1t is supposed that Governor Cum
nins will resign as governor just as
;oon as elected senator 1t has been
uggested that it would be appropriate
or him to resign Immediately and that
1arst be inducted into office before the
legislature Inasmuch as it is not re-
.artled as incompatible for q senator to
.lso attend to some private law busi-
less, it is regarded as also possible that
Governor Cumnins will make connec
ions with some law firm and to a lin
ted degree engage in the law again
