eighteen-hole course when the Associated
Press representative approached him. In
response to a request for a statement on
the death Of Senator Allison, he said;
Senate Allison will be long remembered
not only In Iowa. but Throughout the
whole country. He rendered most use
full service to the nation during q public
career which for length has scarcely a
parallel In the history OF the United
States. He was a calm, contemplative
man and for many years his counsel has
been more generally sought than that OF
any other man In public life. Had he
lived to the end Of the term which he was
holding at the time of his death he would
have served his state thlrty-six years in
the senate.
He entered congress in the middle OF the
civil war and his influence has been felt
in all important legislation Of the last
forty five years. His death will be lsmented
everywhere. but nowhere so profoundly
as among the people OF Iowa"
Governor Cummins refused to make any
formal statement regarding his candidacy
to succeed Senator Allison, beyond the dec
~laration that he would make an effort to
be selected.
II was suggested to the governor that II
he should resign the appointive power
would vest in Lieutenant Governor Warren
Garst OF Iowa. This intimation that he
might become the Junior senator Of his
state brought no response from the gov
ernor.
The governor made II plain that he be-
lieves his friends regard him as the logical
successor Of Senator Allison. He declared
that Senator Allison had defeated him
in the recent primary election by a COM
~ puNfvaVHv -YA-I.. .AA,-fN ..E a.. NAta
reason he thought that his candidacy would
be received with favor in his state. He
intimated that a majority OF the members
of the legislature which is to elect a SEN
ator for the term beginning March 4, 1909,
are friendly to him and he was outspoken
in his hope that these men will vote for
him.
DES MONIES, Aug. SIN the absence Of
Governor Cummins, his friends here have
been specializing as to whether ne would
appoint someone to fill the vacancy caused
by Senator Allison's death, call an extra
session, or resign to be appointed by Lieu
tenant Governor Garst, who would succeed
him as governor. 1t Is believed in Des
Moines that the statement by the governor
at Lake Forest. ILL.,, that he will appoint
someone to fill the vacancy is final. Two
names have been mentioned in connection
with the observation-disclosures Governor
William Larrabee and former State Sena-
tor A. b. Funk.
Senator Allison defeated Governor Cum
Minis in the republican primary election on
June 3 by about 1000 majority in a vote of
100000. This made certain the reelection
Of Mr.. Allison for a seventh term next
winter. His death renews the light for
his seat, but transfers 1t from the primary
ballot to the legislative caucus.

LAKE FOREST, H., Aug. 6.-Governor
Alebrt b. Cummins OF Iowa last night an
nounced himself as a candidate TO succeed
the late Senator Allison. The governor paid
a glowing tribute to his late political ad-
versary's services to Iowa and the country
at large. thon frankly declared his ambi-
ton to be elected to the upper house by
the legislature of his state. He also an
nounced that some one will be appointed
at once to occupy Senator Allison's seat for
the remaining months OF his unexpired
term"
II shall certainly make an effort to sue
coed Senator Allison" said Governor Cum
minis when he was asked concerning his
political intentions. He refused, however,
to say whether he will make an effort to
obtain the senatorship for the unexpired
portion OF Senator Allison term. which
ends March 4. 1903. He declared that
there is plenty of senatorial timber In
Iowa, but declined to discuss possible can
didates.
Governor Cummins will cut short his
vacation and return to Des Moines to-
morrow. 1t is expected that a conference
Of his political friends will be called at
once and hat within a few days definite
news regarding the short-term senatorship
will be announced. The governor an
nounced that the decision to fill the va
cancy at once was due to the fact that
the legislature of Iowa would be unable
20 elect a man for the place in time for
the reassembling OF congress In Decem-
Der and that unless an appointment was
made the state would not have its full
representation at Washington.

HOT SPRINGS. Va, Aug. 5.-Judge Taft
tonight sent the following telegram regard
ing the death OF Senator Allison to the
senator's home:
I'm the death OF Senator Allison the
country has lost a great public servant
and great statesman. He was a most wise
counsellor and legislator. No one can over
estimate the benefit that he by his long
service in the house and senate rendered
his country. The burden he has had to
carry for many years as the head Of the
appropriations committee OF the senate
did not attract the attention that the pub
lie gives to more interesting, but less i'm
portant legislative action.
81 am greatly shocked to hear of his
death. loved him as everyone did who
came within the Influence OF his sweet
nature and strong character. He was a
warm friend of my father and mother.

The certificate OF assessment of the tele-
phone and telegraph companies has not
yet been issued by the state executive
council. For several years past the execu-
tive council has failed to get its report Of
mileage OF telephone and telegraph COM
panies tabulated in time to be OF use dur
ing the year it was made, and each sue
ceeding year the council has instructed
county auditors to figure the assessment
on the mileage reported for the previous
year. A similar order is looked for this
year by County Auditor Cheyne.
The assessments made by the state execu-
tive council are apportioned by the county
auditor to every subdivision Of the county,
which is a task OF considerable magnitude.
Final action is taken by the Board OF Su-
pervisors at its September session, when
the tax levy. according to law. is made.
