BURLINGTON. Vt. Aug, 3I.-Caims Of

led by James E. Burke, Burlington's

overpopular with the old war horses Of

For the first time In the States history
a third party has conducted, an active

The Prohibitionists and Socialists have

gressfve campaign. They may poll about
100.
Congressman D. J. Foster Of Burlington

Notwithstanding Democratic opposition

convinced Mr.. Bryan, for he has been tell

form and In his speech. He declares that
articles entering Into competition with trust
controlled products should be placed upon
the free list. This 10 for the purpose OF de-
stroying trusts. and II must be admitted
that 1t would sometimes prove effective In
that direction.
With the trusts or the other factories
wiped out what does he propose to do with
the countless Thousands Of workmen that
this free list would deprive Of the daily

proolaims himself the friend Of laborf No

Cummins Proposes On Election Day Pr
mary to Choose q Senator.

mary TO Choose q Senator.
DIES MONIES. Ia. Aug. s1.-The specia
session Of the Th~irty-eecond General As
sembly Of Iowa convened this afternoon
organized. heard the Governors message
appointed committees and adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
/ Gov. Cummins In his message made ar
exhaustive defence Of his action In calling
the special session. The Governor de-
olares that he believes in the election Of
United States Senators by popular vote
but as that 10 impossible now he wants the
next thing TO tia primary expression Of
choice. To that end he feels justified ir
asking the Legislature to amend the
present primary law 90 that q primary
function may be- added to the regular
election day ballot.
He recommends that the names Of Re,
publican candidates for Senator be added
to the Australian ballot and that those
expressions Of choice for Senator shall
be counted where the voter is show by
the ballot to have voted for all Republican
Presidential electors, Congressman and
legislative candidates.
This was the Dolliver-Smith plan pro-
posed at the Republican peace confer
ence a few DAYS ago.
Following the reading Of the Cover.
nor's message a committee OF fit een
Senators and fifteen Representa- ee
was named to prepare q bill amending
the primary law with instructions to pre-
sent the same tomorrow.
Meanwhile there Il q sharp division
among the Cummins forces al to whether
Gov. Cummins should be elected to al
the short term in the Senate. which eI.
pires March 4. Gov. Cummins's friends
control the Legislature, but several o.
them, including Speaker n. E. Kendall
Of the House, declare that 1t would be
a blunder, as the call for the special ses.
sion makes no mention OF a Senatorial
election.
The Democrats are preparing to make
trouble. They will oppose the primary
amendment on the ground that Il Is vi
constitutional. They will also intro,
duce measures bearing upon. ,nationa.
issues In order to put the Republicans OF
record. Among others they have q bill
all prepared for the guaranty OF banl
deposits, which will be introduced by
Senator Jamison, who is also q candidat:
for Congress against Col. W. P. Hepburn
