DoMver for Vice President,
Thought Plan of Taft Force

Political considerations which Involve
Iowa and mid Western conditions are
being weighed in this connection. II Is
pointed out that II Mr.. DoliiveI becomes
Vice President, his Senatorial seat nat
uraliy would fall 70 Governor Cummins-
This would be an easy and natural So
luton Of the factiOnal troubles Il. Iowa.
Senator Allison apparently has carried
the Republican primaries for the Sen
aI0Ilal nomination against Cummins by
very close vote, and after bitter
contest.
The fear that tie next legislature
might be Democratic. no matter Wheth-
or CummiEs or Allison carried the pri-
maries, has been prominent IN the
minds Of Iowa people IN Washington, Of
both factions for months past. Related
20 this is the possibility that the cleo
oral vote OF the State might be en-
dangered, though this is not regarded
as nearly so serious as IL, danger Of
losing the Legislature q EE- DemOC rat y,
and scosung the EepIbi:.c.5 a Sen
dtOfidi seat which they E-s anZiO'-s not
TO lose.
The selection of Mr.. Doniver for Vice
President would bring abou: a situation
~ which Cummins and Allison could be
elected 10 the Senate by the Legislature
that will be chosen in November: Mr.
Allison for a full term and Mr.. Cum
minis for the unexpired part OF the Dol
liver term
The developments Of the last twenty
four hours justify the statement that
these things have heen contemplated
carefully. that Deliver soon viii be
the aVOWed TAFT candidate for second
place; that he will accept II nominated
and that. this done. EVERY effort will be
made TO compose fractional differences
in the State and send Cummins and Al
hson both TO the Senate.
