GOAL IN SIGHT FOR
 DEMOCRACY'SCAUSE.
SEVERE BLOW IS DEALT
 TO GOVERNOR CUMMINS

Des Moines, September s.-True to tn cir pledge to each oth CT, 42 stand pat republicans in the state legislature today prevented the election of Gov. A. B. Cummns to the United States Senate to fill out the unexpired term of the late W. B. Allison. These 4z senators and representatives refused to cast their votes for Governor Cummins and with the 45 democrats who voted for Porter, they outnumbered the 65 republicans who voted for Cummins. Not only did these AZ standpatters pre- vent an election today, but they de- claredclared that it is their intention to continue in their course, deadlocking the legislature if it is necessary to keep Governor Cummins out of the Sen ate. Although prominent party leaders came from all parts of the state today for the legislative session and also for the republican judicial convention which meets tomorrow, they failed to bring any adjustment of differences. Both sides say tonight that they will not yield.
 There is a disposition among many men of both factions to hurry up the primary law Legislation for which the extra session was convened, and then adjourn.

DESPERATE FIGH7 FOR HOMES J AGAINST EYER EFOREST FIRES

New York September S.-Results of the application of the Hughes test in IS of the assembly districts of New York and Kings counties in the republican pri- mary elections today were decidedly in teresting and decidedly contradictory. Ac- cording to figures obtalnable late tonight six of the New York districts cast ma jor:ties for the renomination of the gov ernor, three against. Three of the Kings county dictricts cast decisive majorities against his renominaton. The Kings county totals showed a net vote of more than two to one against the governor.
 All kinds of inferenees were drawn tonight from the figures by advocates and opponents of the governors renomination. Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff of the republican state committee declined to make any comment at all tonight.
 Representative Herbert Parsons, chair man of the republican county commit tee, who received reports from the dis tricts where the test votes were taken at county headquarters, said tonight:
 sThe vote shows there is strong Hughes sentiment among certain ele- ments that vote the republican ticket, and among others a bitter opposition to him. tho opposition being in the foreign-born and tenement house districts. In the dis tricts that Governor Hughes carried the delegates to the convention will, of course be for his renomination."

METHODISTS ARE
 AGAINST CANNON

Baltimore. September 8.-The recent action of the legislative committee or the temperance society of the M. h' church in advising all Methodist voters who favor the interstate liquor ship- ments' bill, to vote for congressionai candidates who are opposed to the re- election of Representative Cannon as sneaker. has been followed by the de- cision of the committee, it was an nounced at the committee headquarters today to carry the fight into the speak er's district and recommended that he he opposed for reelection to Congress The fight on the speaker will be con ducted from Chicago mainly through the North western Christian Advocate which is the official Methodist paper throughout the Cannon district.
 The issue of the Northwestern Advo- cate which appears tomorrow will con tain statements from a majority of the bish ops of the M. K. church condemnins the course of the speaker and approving the recommendations of the committee in advocating his defeat.

 NOMINATION OF LILLEY

New Haven, Cenn., September S.--No re- publican convention held in Connecticut since that of the fall of 1900 when the Mclean Warner fight for the governor ship shook up the party, brought out so much interest as that which was called to ordre tonight in the Hyperion theatre by Chairman Michael Kenealy of the state central committee, who introduced as the temporary chairman United States Sena- tor Frank B.

 The business of the convention, the adoption of platform, the naming of the state ticket. seven presidential electors and congressman at large, will be done tomorrow, and every indication tonight was for the most exciting session.

DEMOCRATS READY
 FOR CONVENTION

Peoria, Ill, September s.-This city is preparing to welcome from 5000 to 10000 visitors tomorrow when the democratic state convention meets The presence of w. J. Bryan is expected to attract the largest crowd ever in attendance at an H. linois state convention. The convention will convene at noon. Mayor Fred J. Kern of Belleville is slated for chair man.
 Mir Bryan and Gen. Adlai Stevenson will be the principal speakers. As the work of the convention is simply to ratify the nominations, consummated at the re- cent primary, it is the intention of the leaders to make the affair a great demo- cratic love feast. An effort will be made to prevent any argument on the state platform that will create a fight. It is not anticipated that any dispute of con- sequence will arise on any point unless it be in regard to personal liberty plank.

 Tonight nut. bitterness is expressed among the progressives, and there is open talk of bolting the state and leg islative tickets at the polls If the stand patters refuse to give their majority recognition.
 In explanation of tn cir votes, the stand patters in both houses based their opposition to Cummins on the ground that they did not believe in proceeding < with an election until the people had an opportunity to express their choice of a candidate.
