PRESIDENT NAY AID
Dispatch From Oyster Bay Says Pres
ident Roosevelt May Take Hand
in the Iowa Senatorial Fight in Fa-
vor Of Governor cummins.

Especial Washington Correspondence
Washington, Aug. Especial dis
patches from Oyster Bay today say
President Roosevelt will undoubtedly
take hand in the Iowa senatorial fight
In favor of Cummins, If it is necessary
to make the governor succeed Allison.
Roosevelt, Taft and Hitchcock, with
other leaders, fear the effect of allow
ing the ancient enemies Of the gov
ernor to reopen the old fight with
the mere purpose of keeping him long,
er out of the senate.
Washington recognizes that the rev.
olution in the senate has suddenly set
in with great force. With BristoW
succeeding Long, Cummins considered
soon to follow Allison, Crawford COM
ing in the place of kitteridge from
Suunth Dakota, Chamberlain following
Fulton from Oregon, and several, oth-
er changes likely in favor of the pro-
gressives, the old leadership OF the
senate is menaced as never before.
Roosevelt would like to see the
change achieved, and the party leaders
believe any concessions to radical ten
dencies of the west made at this time
will help overcome the new Bryan
strength there Aldrich, Hale, CALM
ger, and the other extreme conserva-
tiyes fairly see their finish.

Remember the glories of Bryan the

for their country have squandered

fought with his double edged tongue;
o long may that weapon in majesty
wave-remember the glories Of Bryan
the brave! The western chautauquas

Proclamation Issued.

Governor Cummins reached his Of
fee today and the first thing he did
was to issue the following proclama-
ton:
ut has become my sorrowful duty
to officially announce to the people OF
Iowa the death of Senator William b.
Allison, which occurred at his home
in Dubuque on the 4th inst. During
the brief life of the commonwealth
Iowa has given many distinguished
men to the public service, but no one
of them has surpassed in worth or
distinction the man whose death we
now mourn. His long career in the
senate, full of faithful, patient devo-
ton to duty, made him the most prom
inent figure in legislative life and his
influence was deeply felt in all the
affairs of government. His memory
will long be cherished in the patriotic
hearts of his countrymen."
Arrangements are being made for all
the state officers and their wives to at
tend the funeral of Allison on Satur-
day. They will leave Friday night in
a special car over the Great Western.
Governor and Mrs. Cumnlins will at
tend.

Mr.. Kern's Little Joke.
(Chicago Evening Post

(Chfcago EVenlne foSt.l
It pleases Mr.. John w. Kern, of In
diana. to look upon his nomination for
the vice presidency with humorous
nonchalance.
When excited friends first told him
that he had been named he waved
them aside and continued the narra7
ton of funny story. Since then ne
has discoursed much about anecdotal
friends at the bar, much about lnd1-
ana localisms and much about his
beard. He has not. SO far as reported.
said one word in serious appreciation
Of the honor and responsibility which
a great national party has placed on
his shoulders.
To us this course seems in the worst
of bad taste. 1t also seems to be ex-
tremely poor politics. A man who looks
upon his nomination to an exalted Of
fice merely as joke gives the people
a very convincing reason for not elect
ing him to that Office.
