SENATOR ALLISON
WINS IOWA PRIMARY
Defeats Gov. Cummins for the
Senatorial Nomination.
His Majority is Upward of 10000 IN
the State-Fight Has Been
Bitter

Senator W. B. Allison is nomln-
ated for United States senator by a
majority of fully 10000 over Gov.
a. B. Cummlns as a result of the
state primaries held Tuesday.
Reports from all over the state
point to large majority for ALI
son. Counties which two years ago
went for Gov. Cummirs this year
returned a majority for Allison.
Seven congressional districts give
Allison his majority. He carried
practically every county IN the First
and Second districts. In the Third
district he lost Hardin county and
in the Fifth Cummins secured ma
iority in three of the counties. The
returns are coming in slowly.
B. F. Carroll (rep.) was nominated
for governor by majority OF over
$1,000. For lieutenant governor
George Clarke of Dallas county

be named.
It will take an official count to
determine whether or not Congress
man Hull has been renominated by
the republicans of, his district, the
seventh.
both he and Judge S. NJ. Prouty
claim the nomination by about 15O
majority; the fight between them
was bitter and it may lead to pro
tracted legal battle and contest
before the matter is settled.
Senator Allison has been IN the
United States senate since 1873 and
he served four terms in the lower
house before winning the toga-
This gives him a record OF forty
three years in congress. Mr.. ALI
son was born at Perry, o., March
2, 1929.
Gov. Cummins took the result OF
the primaries gracefully and spent
the afternoon with friends playing
golf. Senator Allison at Dubuque
expressed great qualification on the
result. Gov. Cummins would make
no statements as to his further poll
teal plans.

adjoining one he was destined to
end his days in the glory of his
young manhood.
His father died in 1898 leaving
him, as eldest son In possession Of the
two Bidwell farms both of which
were heavily stocked and second in
productiveness to none. 4
Lester had for many years been
the constant companion and helper
of his father who, had taught him
in the arts of agriculture and es-
pecially in the art of breeding,
raising and handling live stock.
AS a result of this teaching, when
death overlook the father the
management of the property passed
into the hands of the young man
who had thus been fitted for the
task before him. Under his faith
full management the properties con-
tinued to increase in value and
Lester j. Bidwell earned for him
self the respect of business men.
The seriousness of the illness OF
Lester was of course known to the
members of the family, but was not
suspected by his intimate friends.
He had borne the suffer1ngs Of APP
preaching death SO bravely and
with such outward show Of cheer
fulness as to completely mishad
those who esteemed themselves his
intimate friends and they were
entirely unprepared for the news
of his death.
He held the respect of all who
knew him. No faint of dishonesty
ever attached to him.
When his end came he sank away
