wss chairman OF the Scott county Allison
club through the post-primary campaign
this summer, today came out in a strong
statement in favor Of the Iowa republicans
uniting in the endorsement Of Governor

Mr.. Lane. II believe that an understand
Ing for the election Of Governor Cummins
by the legislature would meet the hearty
approval Of by far the larger part of the
republicans Of the state"
DIES MONIES. August 13-Governor
Cummins this evening Issued a statement
upon the matter Of the succession to the
late United States Senator William B. Al
lison, making clear his attitude. He said;
The time has come when l may with
propriety put to rest some of the rumors
which are current in the state.
1T has been stated that l will shortly
call a conference or caucus Of progressive
republicans to consider the subject and to
determine a policy to be pursued. I do not
expect to bring any such conference to-
gether.
Senator Allison's death has created GER
tain questions Of great Importance which
l must decide. not as a candidate for Of
flee. but as governor of the state.
II want to decide these questions Justly
and wisely, and 1 want all the help l can
get, whether from friends or from enc
mics"
Il have received many letters Of advice,
and l hope to receive many more. / have
talked with many persons. some Of whom
have been friendly and some OF whom have
been unfriendly. and L expect to talk with
many more.
II cordially invite help in the solution of
the problem before US. whether from poll
ical supporters or political opponents; but
when all is said that is to be said, and
when the time comes to act, the decision
will be my own, and 1 will take the whole
responsibility for it.
The matters to be decided have become
a part of my duty as governor, and in
performing that duty my first concern will
be to promote the cause of good govern
ment and the welfare of all the people,
and my second concern will be to serve the
best I can the interests OF the political
party of which 1 am a member"

FAT MANS TEMPER
SUBJECT Of DEBATE
Possession of One Argued
by Collector Rogers-Per-
SOnal Experience.

Is fat man always good naturedi
The above question is the subject OF
a debate between several officials Of
the District building.
Charles c. Rogers, Collector OF
Taxes, argues IN the negative, and
points 10 himself as an example. Mr..
Rogers swOuld have il known that he
is possessed Of a temper, and that he
occasionally assumes a Iarge-sized
crouch His opponents, however, de-
cline 10 accept Mr.. Rogers as proof Of
his assertions Ia the first place, they
say that while the Collector Of Taxes
may be a trihe stout, he is by No
means fat. And then, again, il is de-
clared that no one has seen Mr.. Rog-
eTs out Of humOr for a longer space
than five minutes. II is acknowledged
that when he receives from a citizen
a message declining TO pay a personal
tax, the collector expresses himself
with force and VigOr. and the fact that
he is collecting taxes. long regarded
as nj only for the discards, is evidence
that he means what he says.
But for Mr.. Rogers to endeavor 70
convince those who know him that he
is not generally IN a good humor IS a
joke in itself. In order 20 prove his
theory concerning stout men. he will.
his friends declare. be forced 70 dis
