IOWA's EXECUTIVE MAY RESIGN
Governor Cummins May Quit to Take
Up Law Practice.

Governor Cummins May Quit to Take
Up Law Practice.
Des Moines, Iowa, June 30.-In re-
ply to a persistent rumor that Gov
ernor Cumnins is contemplating re-
signing his Office to Immediately re-
sumo the practice of law, the Gov
ernor said:
Il have not yet taken up the mat
ter for final consideration"
It is we'll known that the Govern
or's ambition has been to serve In
the United States Senate. but recent
primaries insure the election OF Sen
Ltor Allison. This means the Gov
ernor will retire, at least temporarily.
from public life in January, and
many of his friends are urging him
to resign at once.
1t Is likely he would do so were 1t
not for his desire to take part in the
campaign this fall and lend his aid
to elect the Republican state and Ma
tional ticket. However, certain as
many are of the election of Taft and
Sherman, it is declared in many quar-
tiers that the Governors personal aid
will be necessary in Iowa.

Declines Nomination

Don F. Cresswell authorizes us
to announce that he will not be a
candidate for reelection as COM
missioner. Mr.. Cresswell's princi-
pal reason is that he cannot afford
to give the time and stand the fin
ancial loss holding the Office in
wolves. We regret to make this
announcement as Mr.. Cresswell has
made both an excellent member
and chairman of the Board. George
E. Finley has been mentioned as
his successor and would be highly
satisfactory to all parties if he will
accept. Mr.. Finley has said he
will not make the race but we think
if all parties would unite on him
he would serve. He ought to do so.
