DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. 5.-(Special.)-
Governor Cummins received about 100
kilograms today congratulating him on his
victory i'm the state. He received informa-
tion which led him to believe that when
the votes are all counted no Will have
nearly or quite $4,000 majority over Major
Lacey. He carried many counties that he
lost in June and made gains In every
county so far as heard from. He carried
Sioux City, Cedar Rapids, Burlington, OF
tumwa and other cities and, in fact
gained in all parts of the state. The ma
iority was such as to leave no doubt In
the minds of anyone that he Will be nomi-
mated senator.
The legislature meets in special session
again for just one day to elect a senator
for the short term. on November "a. and
Cummins will then be elected. The ext
legislature. which will be as strongly re-
publican as the present one, will elect
him for the long term in January
The surprise in Iowa was the fact that
the legislature Jared so well. The epub-
licans lost only a few districts and gained
some. The changes were insignificant.
In his home county of Polk Governor
Cummins had a big majority, nearly 1000
more that Taft. He received a total of
1 ,S04 votes to 1857 for Lacey.
AUDITOR CaTTOl also received COnkIdLuld-
tions on his election as governor and he es-
Inmates the majority at over $1,000. The fol-
lowing were the state officers elected:

There is not sufficient evidence as yet
to base any estimate of the total vote in
the state or the vote for the minor parties.
An estimate OF the congressional ma
porities in the state is as follows:
First district, c. A. Kennedy. 1000.
Second district, A. F. Dawson, 5000.
Fourth district, G, N. Haugen, 5000.
sixth district, N. e. Kendall, 800.
Eighth district, w. d. Johnson, democrat,
100.
Ninth district, w, !. Smith, 6,OOo.
Tenth district. Frank P. Woods, 5000.
Eleventh district, f. H. Hubbard, 5000.
With the exception of the Eighth dis
trict the delegation In congress will be
solidly republican. Kendall defeated the
present democratic congressman from the
Sixth district by, at least 200 majority.
