Special to Times-Republicen.


Chicago, June 15.-The Iowa situa-
ton here changed greatly today when
a large number of the friends of Cow
ernor Cummins arrived and set atwork
to given an honest view of Iowa af-
fairs as relating to the vice presidency.
Congressman Hubbard, S. D. Riniker,
Robert Healy, delegate from Fort
Dodge; F. NJ. Woods, nominee for con-
gress in the Tenth; George NJ Curtis.
of Clinton, and others, joined in pre-
pared and signed statement in which
they declared that Iowa will be made q
close and dangerous state If the bolt
ers of two years ago are now allowed.
because of t!ieir enmity to Governor
Cummins, to prevent Iowa securing the
vice presidential nomination.
The Chicago Daily News this afte:-
noon prints the following interview
with ]. c. welliven formerly of Iow:,.
but hcw well-known Washington
correspondents:
Scheme Of Boilers.
Certain members of the Iowa re-
publican faction which at the last elec-
ton bolted Governor Cummins and
nearly turned the state over to the
democrats, have been opposing the
nomination Of Senator Dolliver, for
vice president, alleging that it would
accentuate the factional contest In
Iowa. Their reason, however, as all
Iowa perfectly knows, is that they
know Governor Cummins would be-
come senator in case Mr.. Dolliver
should be advanced to the vice pres-
idency.
at is but fair to say that II Iowa Is
to be deprived of the honor Of the vice
presidency. and the national party is
to be denied Mr.. Delivers services as
candidate simply because of the hat
red which boiling faction entertains
for Governor Cunlmins, then 1t means
that warfare of determination has
been declared against Cummins and
his friends. In such case the Iowa fol-
lowers of Governor Cumnins may be
depended upon to defend their inter-
ests by such means as may be sug-
gested at the moment of entering their
Australian ballot booths next fall.
Represents Enmity TO cummins.
"The opposition ito Mr.. Delivers
nomination represents just two ele-
ments: Ennnity to Dolliver and en-
nifty to Cummins. If Dolliver be
named for vice president, it will mean
restoration of harmony in Iowa on the
basis of sending Senator Allison back
to the senate with Governor Cummins
as his colleague. II on the other hand
Mr. Dolliver shall, now be deprived qf
the vice presidential nomination by
reason Of the campaign Of personal
prescription and political assassina-
ton (which his enemies have been
making against him from the moment
it was known that President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft wanted him
named for vice president. then Iowa
will have to be listed as doubtful n
the electoral college and as practically
certain to choose democratic legisla-
ture this fall, a legislature which viii
probably be called upon to elect two
senators before its term expires.
Lacey Threatens q Bolt.
"On the other hand, Maj. ]. F. Lacey
said:
..If Senator Dolliver accepts the
nomination for vice president Iowa will
lose at least one republican senator.
Allison men have been nominated Ia
Cummins districts and Cummins men
in Allison districts. The upshot Of this
situation will be a democratic legisla-
ture. for it requires only twenty votes
to change the political complexion OF
that body"
