And Still They eIundered.

One of the biggest blunders they
made was the claim that Judge Blair
and not Governor Cummins was the
attorney who won the barb wire fight.
This was so manifestly Il manufact-
ured campaign fabrication that 1t was
not circulated with any very great in
tensity.
H. B. Hedge, of this city, told the
other day the real story of the barb
wire fight and he ought to know for he
was a member of the firm Of Hedge &
Baker which hired Cummins to take
the case.
1.-The engaging Of Cummins to fight
that case was more or less of an .ac-
cident,'' said Col. Hedge today. I'VE
went to the firm that was composed
of Judge Wright and Tom Wright and
Cummins. Both the Wrights said they
were too busy to take the case and
suggested that we hire Cummins We
were q little doubtful because Cum
minis was but young lawyer then and
had just come to the state. We talked
to him, however, and soon became con-
WINGED that he was the man we
wanted.
"Cunlmins went into that fight and l
will venture to say that today Cum
minis could tell me more about our ma
chinery for manufacturing barb wire
than I knew at that time. He mas
tered the whole matter. He became so
thoroughly acquainted with barb wire
manufacture that he knew the reason
and purpose OF every bolt and screw
and twist We went down to keokuk
to try the case before Judge McCreary
and Judge Love and we offered to give
Cummins the assistance of other at
torneys. He declined and when we got
to keokuk we found an array of law
yers against him with helpers to look
UP legal references and all that.
There was not time from the be-
ginning of that trial to the end but
what Cummins could have gotten ten
dollars for every one we paid him If
he had gone over to the barb wire
trust. Later on S. M. Ellwood, of the
barb wire trust, told me that after
they got into the fight they realized
the advantage we had in having Cum
minis as our attorney. He told me they
tried everyway to hire lawyer that
could match Cummins and failed and

they lost their suit.
Since Governor Cumrnins has been
in the governors chair, State Treas
urer Gilbertson brought him an offer
from Denver of $4,000 for the first
year, $4,000 for the second and $4,000
for the third If Cummins would resign
from the governors chair and come
to Denver to enter law firm there.
Governor Cummins refused that offer
to remain in the governors chair and
fight some battles for the people at
salary Of $4,000 a year and during all
that time has been subjected to the
petty attacks Of petty newspaper pol
iticians who charged that for every
day he has been outside Of his office
at the state house he should turn back
money to the state.
It is believed by many politicians
that the wet weather of this spring is
a providential stroke to the progress

for if they are unable to work In the
