GOVERNOR cUMMINs' PREDICT
TioN.

That Bryan has a place In the
world OF usefulness was pointed out
by Governor Albert r. Cummins. OF
Iowa, whale on his recent visit to Ne
York. Said he: "As to Bryan? Our
people like him. but they like him az
a Chautauqua lecturer. not as Presi'
dent Of the United States"
That 10 one reason why Governor
Cmmins predicts that Iowa will roll
up plurality for Taft at from 30.
900 to $4,000. This shows that the
much-vaunted strength of Bryan in
the Middle West is but a myth. Gov
ernor Cummlns stated the case as IA
as Iowa is concerned in this way:
There is no weakening nor waver
ing on the part of the Republicans In
the campaign. They may differ on
local questions, but when 1t comes to
deciding into whose hands the Gov
eminent shah be placed. they have
no hesitancy in uniting to save the
country from another four year per
iod of Democratic disaster"

The write-up Of last Wednesdays
democratic meeting at the opera hou
as published in the Denver News and
recopied in the Sparks was certainly
a humdinger. OF couItHe it was hand
ed to local correspondent by Honest
john, himself. two hours before the
meeting. and was only intended as a
report OF what he would Like to have
the meeting do. but that Is the usual
Honest john tactics. SO was to be ex-
