Cunmins dates last week. Governor
Cummins was detained at home by the
serious illness of his little grandson.
Mr.. Dyer tells that there is the great
est interest in the reservation thls
year and they are anxious to hear the
Gummins side. In spite of the face
that It was known ahead that Governor
Cummins could not appear to speak
and that Dyer, of whom they had
never heard, was to fill the date the
people turned out WELL His smallest
audience was 200. His largest aud,
ience was about 700.
Wherever he went he gave them the
unadulterated Cummins doctrine, CIV
ing Governor Cummins and the hight
that had been about him as the leader
of the progressives the credit for the
two-cent fare, the .anti-pass, the Dill
prohibiting corporations contributing
money to political campaigns, and the
other progressive measures. He made
dt very plain that if they favored these
measures they should vote for Gov
ernor Cummins and if they did not
favor these measures they should not
vote for Governor Cummins for United
States senator.
Wherever he spoke he found the.
greatest interest on the part of his
audience and situation that indicated
that the people are thinking and
thinking hard. !. In one town where
stannch Cummins supporter a few
years ago could not get but three
Eummins buttons worn, he this year
distributed fifty and each of these went
to voters who are wearing them.
l.. d. Teter, of Marion county, who
was a candidate for speaker Of the
last house, and is a candidate now for
denomination to the house, will have
opposition. Two other candidates are
out in Marion for nomination as repre-
sentative from Marion county.
James H. Wilson, Of Adair county.
filed his nomination papers as can.
didate for lieutenant governor yester-.
day Mr.. Wilson was private secretary
to Lieutenant Governor John Herriott
during the four years that Mr.. Herriott
held that office. He has also for many
years been the Ninth district member
of the board of trustees of the state
agricultural college at Ames.

T. T. Anderson, one of the most
notorious boilers of the republican
party In Iowa is at the head of the
Allison-standpat list of presidential
electors. Anderson is one of the can
kiidates for elector- at-large. He Is
editor of an Indianola paper and bolted
the republican ticket outright two
years ago and advocated the election
of Claude r. Porter.
Colonel Dave Brant, another repub-
lican bolter, is circulating petitions as
a legislative candidate. Following the
republican convention two years ago
Brant openly advocated the election
OF Claude r. Porter the democratic
candidate for governor and his editor
ials and literature was circulated by
the democrats and formed some of
their most important features in the
democratic arguments.
Governor Cummins delivered a part
of his nomination papers at the office
OF the secretary of state yesterday and
hopes to be able to get them all filed
there before Wednesday evening. More
than 10000 signatures were on the
papers filed yesterday. About 10000 re-
main to be filed. 1t is possible that not
all will be filed, however, as the names
are being copied by the committee in
charge of the senatorial campaign and
the task may not be completed by
Thursday, when the time expires for
ding nomination papers and petitions.
The signatures filed yesterday repre-
scented practically all of the counties,
and all of the counties will be repre-
scented when the monster petition has
been filed. 1t was foot thick. These
papers were circulated voluntarily by
friends of Governor Cummins, and
without expense of any character. The
nominating petition of Senator ALI
ison was filed few days ago, with A.
400 signatures.
The republican vote in Iowa in 1906
was 216.968 for governor and 236,365
for treasurer of state. Mr.. Morrow hav-
ing the largest number of votes of any
republican candidate. The vote in
presidential years has gone over 3o0,-
600.
Politicians have not attempted to es-
tlIldte the NOte di tne primary eleG-
lion of June ?. 1t is supposed, how
ever, that it will go to 100000.
Poisons may be sold only to regis
tered pharmacists in Iowa hereafter.
That is the gist of a new ukase issued
by the state pharmacy commission. 1t
includes poison fly paper. The commits
sion has been receiving many letters
from different parts Of the state ask
ing about the right of other than phar-
macists to sell poison fly paper and
the daisy" fly killer. Under the law
only druggists may sell poison. Under

therefore to enforce the rules When
poison is bought of a druggist a poison
