A b. Cummins for a seat in the sem
ate We believe there is not man
in Iowa today that stands higher in
the estimation of the people than does
A. B. Cummins. and his power and in
fluence would serve to place Iowa on
still higher plane In the eye of the
nation"
1--WE want Cummins I'm the senate
because. as Taft says. the work of the
next administration will be to perfect
the work Of the present one and Cum
Minis is Just the man to helm Taft in
carrying out this intention. We want
him for the senate because that body
needs the infusion Of new blood" de-
clares the Waterloo Courier.
The Muscatine Journal. formerly for
Allison. says: when Mr. Cummirls
was removed from consideration as
senatorial possibility by the votes of
the people his friends. led by himself
swung into line for the whole ticket
Today the friends of Senator Allison
find their great leader removed from
this mundane spere by the hand of
party plane For the sake of peace, for
the sake of harmony. for the sake Of
Justice and fair play-these two latter
being by far the most Important TO
red-blooded free American citizens--it
seems to us that the time has come
for the republicans of Iowa to agree
upon Governor Cunmins as the repub-
lican senatorial candidate"
The Sheldon Sun puts it this way;
"Towa republicans who believe IN
progress, who are in sympathy with
President Roosevelt's plans for giving
the people square deal. and who want
to see Judge Taft continue the Work
along those lines, should give their
vote to Governor A. b. Cummins for
United States senator. The governor is
proeressive republican of the Roose-
Welt stripe, and the people of Iowa. OF
all factions and parties, know 1T. His
opposition is two fold--political and
factionall Democrats are expected to
oppose him for political reasons The
oppostion in his own party is not so
and with others it is because they are
not in sympathy with his Wen known
progressive policies"
I'm Governor Cummins we nave a
man who has been the leader ana
champion of all the reforms that nave
been made in the state of Iowa during
the past few years, which have meant
