CUMMINl|S BOOM
IOWA MAN RECEIVES QUITE A
BOOST FOR VICE PRES
IDENCY.

Chicago, Ill, June 16.The booEs
for Governor Cummins of Iowa, for
the vice presidential nomination was
the distinctive feature Of the day in
the contest for second place on the
ticket, and 1t received much favor
able consideration. Senator Borah
of Idaho, who early this morning
started the agitation on behalf Of the
Iowa governor, spent much of the
day sounding western delegations in
his behalf and at the close Of the
day announced that he had found
much encouragement.
Mention Of Governor Cummins
name was received with varying
emotions by members Of the Iowa
delegation, and 1t soon became evil
dent that If the governors candidacy
should be more energetically press
ed his Iowa support would not be
confined to the so-called Cummins
faction. Several Allison-D olliver adj
herents promptly announced that as
a matter of state pride, If for no 9TH
er reason, they would support the
governors candidacy.
A number Of Iowans asserted that
while they had not communicated
with the governor on the subject it
had been determined to assume the
responsibility Of presenting the
claim of Iowa for second place, in
the event there developed continu-
ed purpose on the par Of the Taft
managers in Washington to insist
upon an Iowa man.
