at Bedside of Dying Man-Had
Frequent Attacks.

DUBUQUE, Iowa. aug. 5.-United
States Senator William Boyd Allison
died at his home here yesterday after
noon. The immediate cause Of death
was heart disease and the end came
during a period OF Inconsistencies
which had lasted since Saturday after
noon.
News Of the serious illness OF the aged
Senator was kept from the public as
much as possible, and his death came as
a surprise 10 his thousands Of friends
residing in this city. Only the more in
innate acquaintance Of the family were
aware OF his critical condition.
Two weeks ago Senator Allison left
his home in the city to escape the heat.
He went to the home OF Mrs. Fannie
Stout. a friend OF the family. living on
the Asbury road, a few miles from
town.

For a few days his condition seemed
10 improve, but he later began 10 grow
worse.
Medical advisers urged that an opera
ton was necessary. Saturday morning
the Senator was brought back home.
Soon afterward he reIapsed into a con-
dition OF semi-ConsciOusness. Except
Tor brief periods OF partial recovery he
remained IN this condition until death
came.
During the last week nurses were en-
plOyed 10 care for the Senator for the
frst time since his illness, and this was
the rrst intimation anyone had of a
Clange Tor the worse in his condition.
After the Senator lost consciousness he
did not fully recover his mental facul-
ties up 10 the time OF his death.
Physicians Watch Him.
He had been under constant surveiI-
lance Of physicians for the last few
days. Two nurses were in constant
attendance on him, and efforts TO main

ductor with a view Of adding 70 the
general confusion, takes a fiendisn de-
light in ringing his signal bell at about

Cunl71IrlS Announces
Candidacy for Senate

CHICAGO. Aug. 5-SpecuIation is rife

OF Governor Cummins last night that
he would be a candidate. Governor

a conference of his political friends will
be called Thursday He said:
I shall make an effort TO succeed
Senator Allison should my friends be-
lieve me to be the logical successor.
Some one will be appointed 10 occupy
Senator AllisOn's seat for the remaining
months of his uneXplTed term"
The governor made no reply 10 the
suggestion that he night resign and be
appointed Senator By the lieutenant
governor. Governor CUmmins paid trib-
ute 10 Senator Allison, saying:
Senator Allison Will be long remem-
bered not only in Iowa but throughout
the country. He rendered most valuable
aid during a public career which for
length has scarcely a parallel in the his
tory of the United States. He was a
calm, cOntemplative man. and for many
years his counsel has been more gener-
ally sought than that of any other man

suit Of the vote which made Mr. Lin
coin the Republican candidate.
Going back 10 Iowa. he became a
member Of the governors staff. and
helped raise troops for the civil war.
Having helped them into the army, he
helped them vote in the field after they
had got there. While the civil war was
in progress Mr.. Allison was elected TO

obtaining the revenue necessary Tor the
carrying on Of the war. seems 10 have
greatly Influenced Mr.. Alhsons legis-
Iative life. He was elected to the United
States Senate in 1913. Within lew
years he had taken first place in the
Senate as an authority upon all bills

national banks were subjects IN which

When the Bland bill passed the

Committee was equally divided upon
it, IL was Senator Allison who sug-
gested the measure as il was adopted

was Bland. Senator Allison's two
amendments to the bill pleased the
conservative element of his party
Critics of Senator Allison said he was
aever radical about anything The peO-
pie Of the Middle West never COM
planned that senator Allison was TOO
conservative in looking after their inter
ests. For instance, he took the lead in
the opposition to the Thurman act, which
