| Governor Cumnrins is making q
vigorous fight In Iowa for election to-
l the Tinted States senate to succeed
Senator Allison said George c. Call
/ of Sioux City, in washington yester--.
day. sssss,ss..i
Many persons believe that the gov
& ernor will succeed. and IL the enthu-
siasin with which he has been rec
B ceivees in the northwestern part Of the
! fass, sia any indication of the way the
& people Will vote at the primaries, am
& inclined to believe that Allison will be
q defeated.
q IN Sioux City the other night at
f-itB1,nins spoke and the crowd was so
I large that hundreds had to be turned
away. It is the same in other parts
sEof the state. The result Of the recent
Estate convention has no bearing on the
fight for the senatorship, aitho the im-
preston seems to have become gener-
1 u ia the east that it made Allison's
i re- election sure Governor Cummfns
and Senator Allison both have agreed
70 abide by the decision Of the primar-
las and the campaign is 80 vigorous
that It will means full vote. The pri.
.maries will be held early next month.
There is no antagonlsm to Allison.
The people OF Iowa love and respect
him and have high regard for the
name he has made for the state and
himself IN the United States senate,
but the senator has lost some of his
popularity with the people because he
has failed to 60 out among them and
'smix with them.
1.-THE Cummins faction resents the
action OF the state machine when Gear
was elected. Governor Cummins was
then 4 candidate for senator, but he
sW1s shelved IN favor of Gear, who, It
sWaS known. was In poor health and
could not live out his term. The men
who supported Governor Cummins in
his fight at that time are still loyal to
him and ne has gained many more.
Personally I shall vote for Cummins
regard for Allison, but because. have
u high appreciation of the worth of the
Sgovernor. Il Is hard to tell what the
q AZ - ~
the contest will be a close one
Mr.. Call was one Of the managers
FOR Perkins in his subernatorial CAM
spaisn, and the prediction he makes Is
most significant.
Lively times are promised in Creston
three or four days before the primary
election. Former Governor William
Larrabee and Lieutenant Governor
Warren Garst were scheduled for al
Cummins meeting in that city toward
the end OF the last week OF the SEN
atorial campaign.
Senator ]. p. Dolliver has arranged
meeting in the interest of Senator
Allison for the same night.
Larrabee and Garst have the opera
house and have secured a contract
with the band. Dolliyer has secured a
tent. Friends of the distinguished men
who are candidates and speakers are
now engaged in, efforts to secure at
tendance at their respective meetings
The only recent similar instance was
at waterloo in the campaign of 1906
when Cummins. and Prouty spoke at
the park and Hon. George d. Perkins
spoke in the street near his hotel.
Senator Dolliver has been prevailed
upon ITO close his campaign for Sena-
TOR Allison in Sioux City. That will
be; the night before the primary cleo
ton, the evening of June 1. He will
speak at Sheldon In the afternoon and
70 70 Sioux City for the closing even
ing meeting on behalf of Mr.. Allison.
