Western Senator Gets En-
thusiastic Reception for His
Stand in the Tariff Battle.
RECOMMENDS APPOINTMENT
OF EXPERT COMMISSION
"All Republicans Will Fight
When Danger of Democratic
Congress Is in Sight"

DIES MONIES. Ia, Aug, Ex-senator
Albert B.. Cummins is back here today
from his tariff battles in Congress. He
received d Homecoming reception be-
fitting the return of a conquering hero.
A tremendous demonstration, includ-
irg a great torchlight parade, had been
organized in honor of the senator be-
cause of his stand on the tariff, with
which it is believed the entire middle
West is in sympathy. He was received
with laudatory speeches by the mayor
and other leading officials of Des
Moines.
The enthusiasm of the reception was
intensified by a statement of great
political import, issued by the senator
in Chicago while on his way home. 1t
was a declaration Of war to the bitter
end between the progressive or "insur-
gent" Republicans and the Aldrich-
Payne faction, which put the tariff bill
through Congress. He intimated he
would be willing to lead the fight as
candidate for President in 1912. He
said:
I'VE shall present the issue fatty to
every Republican convention between
the present and the national conven-
tion of 1912 where it is possible for the
issue to be presented. That issue Is:
Shall the men now in control of party
destinies be permitted further to dis
regard plain party declarations?
1.-THE Democratic party has demon
strated thoroughly it's ~innocuous in
ability to be trusted with the formula
ton of a tariff law for the United
States said Senator Cummins. Il do
not foresee n serious possibility of a
Democratic congressional or national
victory because of the passage of the
new tariff law.
ANY Republican law based upon the
underlying principle of protection IS
preferable to any Democratic law based
upon the principle of tariff for revenue
All Republicans will fight together when
danger of a Democratic Congress
hoves in sight.
I'm my judgment, the tariff neve
again will be an issue between the Re-
publican n Democratic parties. 1t is
the decisive issue between the two
well-defned elements within the Repuo-
lican party. It Is an issue which must
be settled definitely at the next national
convention"
Senator Cummins recommended the
appointment Of an expert tariff COM
mission at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.

Yes, we have. He has always told

counsel asserted.

Alderman Wright was under fire. He
said that he had returned from the
Joel Parker outing of August Is last
year and in the Holland House Mr..
Scales, of Wilkinson, Gaddis & Co, had
stated that he believed Bray and the
whole Fourth of July committee was
kerooked." Wright, on being cross-ex-
amined, insisted that Bray had been
named specifically. whereupon, In de-
Tense of Bray and the committee of
which he was a member, he had struck

award of the fireworks contract to

Alderman Whitfield stood with the
chairman and defeated their plans.
The agitation of this subject covered
a period of several months
Did you make any effort to investl-
gate these things?"
Yes, l saw Scales, for instance.
Then l talked with Mills and others"
Mr.. Nugent said that he had been
"~traduced" by Bray time and again,
and that he had decided that the time
had come to stop 1t. He was used to
criticism of an adverse sort-that was
to be expected in public life-but he
would not stand by and permit a man
to attack his character and reputation
for honesty. Asked if he had talked
with Bray about his alleged conduct
or the rumors, he said:
