ELECTION LAW
Governor CumminS of Iowa
Calls Special Session
of Legislature.

Dies Moines, Ia, Aug. 25.-Late this
evening Governor Cummins issued his
proclamation for the special session of
the legislature 70 amend the state pri-
mary law, fixing Monday, Aug. 81, as
the day for converting. The proclama-
ton sets forth the governors reason
for converting the legislature-his belief
that an overwhelming majority of the
people of the state are in favor of eX-
pressing their choice for United States
senator in the primary election. Nearly
1000 Republicans We're in conference
here today in an effort TO allay the fac
tional strife that has torn the party
during the last few years, and which is
believed to menace the success of the
Republican ticket in this state.
The feature of the occasion was Gov
ernor Cummins' announcement that he
had decided to call special session of
the legislature 10 dispose of senatorial
matters. which since the death of Sen
ator Allison has threatened to renew
the old fight. This special session will
be asked to amend the state primary
law to permit the Republican voters
to select the senatorial candidate at the
regular election in November, instead
OF leaving it TO a legislative caucus.
Many leaders of the party We're pres
ent To-Day ana most or the members OF
the Iowa delegation in congress.
Senator Dolliver was one of the
speakers. He accepted the decision OF
the governor in good part. and declared
himself unequivocally for harmonious
program. George ID. Perkins, editor of
the Sioux City Journal, and an OPP
pOnent of Governor Cummins for the
gubernatorial nomination two years
years ago. declared that his reasons for
asking that the senatorial question be
submitted to a primary election was
that it would make possible the election

of the voters on the matter
