ital, the leader of the Lacey forces,
comedies Cummins nomination by
10000 The Register and Leader claii
it by $4,000. There seems no doubt OF
this success and it is generally con-
ceded. Only the size of the majority is
in question. Such returns as have been

NOUS With the returns at hand, few
of which are from the big Cumnins

the estimate of 10000 appears to be
a safely conservative claim on election
night. .Jubilation is rife at Cum1nins
headquarters and q corresponding
gloom rests on the headquarters of the
standpat representative from the pre-
cinct of Standpattersville. 1T appears
on the face of it an overwhelming in
dorsement of the governor and his eff
forts and proves what has been claimed
that sentiment defeated him In the June
primaries in spite of his services and
his hold upon the confidence of the
Iowa republican voter.
Polk will claim the banner for large
Cummins majority with $500 as
against the 5000 she gave last June.

against 700 in the last primary. The
