People Should Dc Choosing.
W. H. Williams, retiring labor COM
missioner, in the recommendation
sent with his biennial report suggests
that the office be made elective rather
than appointive, but suggests the
election should not take place until
November. 1910. He also believes
that the twenty-odd inspectors of the
department be placed under civil serv-
ice
Under present conditions the COM
missioner and his assistant, as well
as a number of inspectors, are ap-
pointed by the governor. The result
is that a harmonious policy In the de-
partment is often prevented and the
inspectors are sometimes more po-
litical friends than capable inspectors,
according to Mr.. Williams.

NO NEED FOR CONFERENCE.
In the Opinion Of New York csntral's
General Manauer

In the Opinion Of New York csntral's
General Manager.
Chicago, Aug. 10.-Fred w. Upham,
president of the Illinois Manufacturers
Association, today made public a letter
from w. c. Brown, general manager Of
the New York Central lines, in which
Brown declares that he sees no present
need for conference Of the railroad
men and manufacturers over railroad
freight rates.
ad no conference needed
Brown says that no general horizons
tai increase in freight rates has been
considered by the railroads, nor has
any definite per cent Of increase been
decided upon. II do not wish to be
understood as suggesting or intimating
that the question Of reasonable In
crease in freight rates is not sweeping
or general, but applied to classes and
commodities where the effect on the
manufacturer, merchant or consumer
will be inappreciable, it has been
abandoned or indefinitely postponed"
Brown concluded by saying that the
statement made by the railroads May
18th, that some increase Of revenue IS
necessary, holds good, but that in view
of the situation as it is at present, he
sees no need for conference between
the railroads and the committee ap-'
pointed by the Illinois Manufacturers
association.

poets were bright for peace, jco-oper-
alton and harmony. 1t is due 10
nothing that the friends OF Cummins
have done that conditions have sud-
denly changed. The new state of af-
fairs has been precipitated by
power beyond the control of men. III
one mans friends were willing to ac-
cept what had happened at the pri-
mary, the other mans friends ought
to be no less willing to concede the
place to Cummins now. The Times
supported Allison, but is now In
favor of Cummins for senator.
Mr.. Cummins has not yet announced
his candidacy as an aspirant for the
vacant place. He was misrepresented
by the Chicago newspapers ana
denies that he ever said more than
merely words of praise for the man
who is gone. He has not hastily and
with poor judgment rushed forward
as claimant for the empty chair.
But even tho Mr.. Cummins has not
yet made an announcement. the
Times believes he is the logical mar
for the place, for he Is capable, ard
popular in the state and is not out of
sympathy either with the republican
national or state platform. In fa|
these platforms, II they mean an
thing at all, very closely outline W :
Governor Cummins has for years u
demanding. His nomination would
not be inconsistent with the party
declarations.
"1'he Times believes that the repub-
lican newspapers of the state, which
OF late have been urging party har-
mony and peace, will continue to do
so. This is necessary in order that
republican principles may triumph IN
the state, and party's principles are
of vastly more Importance than the
election or defeat of any man. The
campaign is here. The nominations
have been made. All that is lacking is
some kind Of party expression as a
guide for unanimous action as to the
senatorship. Therefore the Times ia
vors the adoption of resolution by
the republicans in convention assem-
bled at Des Moines on Sept. en-
dorsing Governor Cummins as the re-
publican party's candidate for the SEN
ate and requesting the republican leg
islatiye caucus next winter to make
him the party nominee before the leg
islature. Let Iowa republicans agree
to elect Cummins 20 the senate and
then take off their coats and work for
the success of the republican party
from Taft to Carroll and from Carroll
to township trustees, and there Will be
an old-time republican plurality rolled
up in Iowa this fall

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 10-It is likely
that a conference of the friends of
Governor Cummins will be held in
Des Moines in the near future to dis
cuss the senatorial situation and the
action to be taken in his behalf. There
seems to be a general belief that the
majority of standpatters, with the ex-
ception of a few uncompromising
leaders, will be willing to allow the
governor to be elected without a con-
test. The action of e. p. Adler, MEM
ber of the committee and editor of
the Davenport Times in coming out
in strong editorial advocating the
nomination and election Of Cummins
without further resistance is believed
will have a very favorable effect.
Friends of Governor Cummins have
expressed confidence that there will
be no contest over the senatorial sue
be conceded to the governor, who al
most won at the primaries.
This confidence, they say, has been
based on expressions coming from op-
position newspapers and political lead
ers. Many OF the standpat papers
have stated that the time has come
to cease fighting in the republican
ranks, many Of the leading standpat
politicians have given expression to
like sentiment in letters and PERSONAL
ly in interviews and the republican
candidates have almost unanimously
indicated a desire for peace.
The democrats, on the other hand
have Indicated that they regard the
situation with great satisfaction. They
are confident that there will be nc
cessation of the fight within the re-
publican ranks. They count on the
factional contest to continue with re-
newed bitterness. Predicting a'fight
against tCummins. even more bittei
than has been waged in the last rev
years. the democrats see visions OF
victory all along the line. They say
that they believe the democratic cleo
total state and legislative tickets VIII
carry Iowa, easily If the fight goes
on. and they expect to win even II II
doesn't, for they say that the Hgh'
has been so bitter hitherto thatNe
with concession to the advantage OF
Cumrnins on the part Of the standpa1
leaders, there remain enough stand
patters in the ranks to make 1t i'm
possible for the governor ever TO g
to the senate.
The democrats figure that If the
fight on Cummins continues. the Cum
Minis men will turn the state over te
BRYAN, White and Porter. and If the
fight is discontinued the standpatters
will do likewise in order to defeat
