Progressive Candidate Wins
Congressional Nomination
BY Unexpected Vote
GETS LINN OVERWHELMINGLY
Splendid Home Endorsement Given
Good = Marshall County Goes
Against Trewin BY Three to One
Prouty Probably Wins Over Hull in
Seventh District.

The victory of Good over Trewin
for congressman to succeed Cousins is
complete and overwhelming. Even
Goods most sanguine friends did not
expect so large majority. 1t is es-
timated that Goods majority in the
district will be not less than 1000 and
may reach 1900. Jones county has
not been heard from, and the vote
there may cut down the estimates.
But the figures from Grundy,
Tama, Cedar and Linn are
very gratifying to the progress
sives. Goods majority in Marshall
will be 900 or better and not less than
1000 in Linn, while Tama and Grundy
will lgive him from 500 to 500.

Des ,Moines, June 2.-Up to II
o'clock no information had been re-
ceived to shake the prediction of Gov
ernor Cummins that his majority Will
reach 25, 900. Eighty-seven precincts
give Governor Cummins 1909 and AL
lison 1852. This includes practically
all of Jasper county, which was car
cincts in the reservation, including
precincts in Wayne, Decatur, Lee, Des
Moines and other reservation coun-
ties, which naturally would be against
Governor Cummins.
The Cummins people realize that in
the reservation the first returns Which
are from the cities, are more likely to
favor Cummins than later returns,
which would include the benighted
country vote of the reservation, which
never reads any but the rankest
standpat newspapers. On the other
SAeO -
part of the state is that Mitchell Will
90 for Cummins by 500 and Cherokee
Inv good majority and that the ma
iorities in these and other countles
will be larger than the Cummins peo-
pie counted upon.
The Daily Capital reports are that
Cumnins has carried Wayne county
by $50. which is. in the worst of the
standpat reservation country.
In Polk county twenty out of twen-
ty-nine precincts give Cunlmins ma
iority Of 2,OS5, indicating that he will
carry the county by 5000, which is
better than he had hoped.
Early returns from Black Hawk and
Clinton counties were not so favor
able to Cummins as his friends had
hoped, but this is overcome by the
favorable reports from elsewhere in
the state. Reports from standpat
counties carried by Allison show that
his majorities do not exceed the ex-
pectations of the Cummins people, but
are falling below the predictions of
his managers.
cumnins May Carry Blythe's County.
Warren has gone Allison by about
900 and Lee county has been carried
by him by small majority. Des Moines
county, the home of Blythe is about a
standoff, with chances in favor Of
Z Cummins carrying it.
The Sixth district, which the Alli-
son people claimed by 5000 to 5000,
was probably given to Allison by a
majority of about $500.
There is every Indication that the
Seventh will give Cummins a majority
of about 1000, and Allison conceded it
before the primary by only 1,400.
Hull Comedies Defeat.
There is every indication that Prou-
ty has beaten Hull In the Seventh dis
trict and before the count of the votes
began Hull is quoted as saying that he

jority of 27O over Allison justifying an
estimate of at least 800 for Cummins
in the county. In this city Cummins
had to spare in the First ward, 1S in
the Second, in the Third and in

Cummins carried Brooklyn by 81,

Das Noines June Authorization
from over the state, received here, 1s
that there is a heavy vote in the cities
everywhere. The country polling places
did not open till 1 o'clock. In this city
there are but few democrats voting.
Up to noon in many precincts there
had been but fifive to ten democratic
votes, while the republican voting
early, In all the large precincts, was
considerably above 100.
The rain, which is quite general over
the state, will result in heavy votes
in the farmer districts, because the
farmers cannot work in the fields AT
Fort Dodge last night the hall would
not hold the governors audience and
he held an overflow meeting to an au-
dience as large as the first The enthu-
s1asm is intense. The heavy early vote
is causing the friends Of the governor
to begin talking of a landslide.
Last Hour Campaign Fakes.
The standpatters here last night be-
gan flooding the district with circulars,
many of them with the rankest injus-
tice. One hand BILL purporting to quote
the Register and Leader as favorable
to Allison, has been distributed wide
ly, and tackled up in conspicuous
places. The Register and Leader brands
it in this mornings issue. Other cam
paign circulars, gotten out especially
to be circulated the last thing, when 1t
was too late for the Cummins people
to deny them, have been sent every
where by the Allison people. They have
been printed in millions, and thousands
of dollars were necessary to meet the
expense 1t is also discovered that the
Allison people are trying to vote many
democrats for Allison, and have threat
ened with arrest all democrats known
to be friendly to Cummins.
Much depends on the size OF the
vote. Roosevelt had 100000 IN 1904.
The average republican vote on state
officers has been about 100000. Ninety
per cent of the vote is expected to be
polled today Each side is anxious that
the farmers should vote, each claiming
a majority of them.
Senator Allison's return to Dubuque
for the last day of the campaign had
no effect on the situation. His failure
to return during the campaign and the
substitution of Senator Doll2ver to
speak for him has called attention to
the chief claim OF the opposition. that
Allison's great age-he is 19--shou!d

ing him for seventh term of six
years
The contest presents clearcut fight
between the progressive republicans,

Warren Garst, lieutenant governor

ity Garst will be nominated, and

Gilbertson's Claims.
G. S. Gilbertson, manager of the
Cummins' campaign, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Governor Cummins will have $4,000
majority for senator in Tuesdays pri-
mary. In all the northern counties
of the state his friends will give him
the usual majorities, and he has made
remarkable gains in the southern
counties of the state. Especially in the
First and Eighth districts, the senti-
ment has been turning strongly to-
ward him and his vote in counties
where he has previously had no dele
gates will be surprisingly large. Tx
Des Moines and the Seventh district
the majority for Cummins will aston
ish his enemies.
Reports from all parts of the state
show that the progressive lines are
well formed that there is intense in
terest in the issues involved and the
voters are ready to act. The credit
for this is almost wholly due to Cum
Minis himself, for he has addressed
125 meetings and has faced at least
100000 Iowa voters this year.
"While the opposition to Cummins
has been one of personal attack and
abuse, Cummins has conducted a dig
nified campaign, discussing the issues
that are before the people. His sue
cess is certain"
