In its closing days the primary cleo
ton canvass between Governor Cum
minis and Senator Allison for the NOM
nation for Senator from Iowa is be-
coming the most remarkable which even
that State OF hard fights and bitter
factionism has known in the decade
since Governor Cummins rose above the
political horizon and became disturb
ing factor In the calculations there.
The last Legislature, controlled by
Governor CumHins, enacted q law pro-
viding that Senator's should be nom
mated, like other officers, at "a State
wide primary The first primary under
this act viii be held June 2. and Gov
ernor Cummins and Senator Allison are
the only candidates in the field for the
Republican nomination.
AT the opening of the fight Cummins
was denounced by his opposition and
charged with having violated "a pledge
made two years ago that he would not
become candidate against Senator
Allison. The governor declared he had
never made such a pledge. and while
the charge against him caused some
furry FOR a short time, It has alIlost
been forgotten more recently, as real
paign. Today the question is whether

ment is called, or the standpattera, as
the Allison people term themse Ives.

Iowa politics
1t is charged by the Cummins people
that Senator Allison has always been
more of an Eastern than d Western
Senator; that during the thirty-five
years he has served in the upper house
he has been rather a representative OF
the conservative than Of the progressive
view, especially as relating to corpora
ti0ns. To this the Allison people reply
that Cummins is only a fake refOrner,
a demagogue seeking popularity in ord ar

TO the long list OF laws passed by the
last Legislature as demonstration that

Campaign Waxing Warm.
In the last month of the campaign
the question has been raised, as to who
was first on the field Of reform. Gov
ernor Cummings had represented that
he was demanding railroad rate legis-
lation long before Senators Allison and
Dolliver thought about IT, He was
denounced as a commOn-well. they
haven't said Har thus far in the cam
paign, because the governor once
knocked a man down who called him
that. But there was serious disagree
ment With his recollection Of the facts,
The railroad issue in Iowa and in
the nation was founded in the early
seventies by WILLIAM I.arrabee, an
Iowa man. who later was elected gov
eTnOr Of Iowa on the issue, and who
c0erced a Legislature many years ago
TO pass a code Of railroad regulation

Representative Makes Pow
erful Speech Against Ex-
travagance of Congress.
POTENTIAL MEMBERS
SCORED BY ORATOR
He Asserts That There Was No
Necessity for Large Expenditure
for the Army and Navy.

Representative James A. Tawney,
shairman OF the House Committee on
Appropriations, made a powerful speech
On the House during the closing
hours Of Congress. pointing out that.
for the first time in the history of this
country, the present session Of Congress
has forced the total OF money appro-
priated for the Government above the
81 900. 10000 mark.
He also voiced his regret that some
members OF the House whose voices
could have been most potential in
hchecldng these expenditures either sat
silent or helped TO swell the totals"
Mr.. TaWney expressed his gratitude
70 all the members or tho committee
Tor the assistance they had rendered
him.
In discussing the subject of uppro-
priations Mr.. Tawney said.
In our endeavor TO check and keep
down these increased expenditure and in
creased appropriations, we were through
out this session without support either
from the public. from the press, from the
minority, or from the executive depart
ments Of the Government. The In
creased appropriations or more than
S43. COO on account OF the army and
navy. or for preparation for war 10 the
end that we may have peace, were not,
in the Judgment OF many, necessary,
and yet this increase was not as great
as the amount demanded.
