| IOWA RESULTS.-The latest reports
from Iowa, which seem clearly 10 indicate
the nomination Of Carroll. the regular Re
! publican. for Governor and the renomina--
| ton of most of the regular candidates for
! Congress are the occasion not only of sur
prise but of the utmost qualification TO the
regular Republicans in Washington. 1t had
! been supposed in Washington that Iowa
was the stronghold Of the insurgent move
ment. and reversal of the Cummins-Dol-
| liver ticket there will, It is believed, break
| the backbone of insurgency. Private ad-
vices received by the regulars throughout
the day have indicated the nomination of
the regular candidate for Governor, but
when the news was received this evening
1 that The Register and Leader" Of. Des
! Nfoines conceded CAROLS nomination even
! the insurgents gave up all hope. During
the course Of the day many condolences
were extended to Senator Dolliver by his
| coilea cues, who persisted in reminding him
| that had he stood by the administration
! and opposed Cummins he would have been,
/ in the light of yesterdays developments in
| Iowa. the greatest man in the state, in
stead of the lieutenant of Cuynmins in
/ defeated army. Colonel William ?. Hep
burn has all along insisted that once the
Republicans Of Iowa had an opportunity TO
| express themselves sQuarely on the tariff
I they would be found TO be as stanch pro-
tectionists as the Republicans Of Pennsyl-
vania, and developments appear to have
confirmed the predictions of the colonel.
The denomination Of Judge Smith is also
| the occasion Of rejoicing among the regu-
| lars. and by the same token it is a bitter
Ifca IN the insurgents Judge
Smith has been going about the state de-
claring that Cummins would go down in
history as ''the greatest animal trainer the
world has ever known" Two years ago"
says Judge Smith, ''Dolliver was denounc-
| ing Cummins as a traitor and biting pieces
! out of Garst's legs. Within that short
/ period Cummins has trained the Iowa
| Senator TO eat out Of his hands and has
| taught him TO heel to Garst." Some of Mr..
| Delivers colleagues have taken a cruel
pleasure in reading this excerpt from Judge
! Smiths speeches TO the discounted Iowan
| to-day.
| FIGHTING TAFT-There are some
/ House insurgents who are extremely SEN
sitive to the charge that they are opposed
to President Taft and inimical to his
legislative programme, and to a majority
doubtless the charge will not apply. but
its accuracy as applied to the la Toilette
disciples and certain others was ebundantly
demonstrated yesterday when ten insur-
gents voted against the rule under which
the postal savings bank bill is to be con
sidered This hill was framed in Re
| publican caucus. Abundant opportunity
was afforded every Republican 10 express
his views. and every amendment offered
was put TO vote. AS reported the meas
ure involved no less of a compromise on
the part Of the regulars than of the insur
gents. To have permitted further amend
ments on the floor would have placed
many regulars in a position that they
would have been compelled to stultify their
individual convictions or else vote against
the party measure, and yet ten insurgents
| lined up against the rule which was de-
signed TO protect the bill agreed upon by
a majority of their party from the
slaughts of the Democrats and those Re
publcans who do not individually approve
of the hill. OF course without rule 1t
would he impossible 10 pass the meas
Ure, and vote against the rule was 4
vote against. not only the Republican ma
! iority in the House. but against President
Taft and his legislative programme. The
men who voted against the rule were
! Messrs. Cary. Cooper. Nelson and Lenroot,
! all la Toilette followers: Poindexter. of
| Washington. who hopes to be the iusur-
gent candidate for the Senate: Norris. Of
! Nebraska; Davis and Lindberg of Min
nesota: Hubbard. of Iowa. and Gronne, of
/ North Dakota. These insurgents. at least
cannot now complain of being classed ss
against President Taft and his adninistra-
| ton.
! 'TNSURGING' ON RAILROAD BILL
Those insurgents who voted to accept the
/ Senate railroad bill. instead of sending the
measure 10 conference, took q step which
win almost inevita bly, tend to weaken the
position of Representative Mann and his
! House associates in the conference com
/ r,ittee. Tho vote to accept the Senate
mea sure constituted vote of no confidence
I in the House conferrees and declaration
1 that the Senate bill was acceptable to a

bers Of the House. In the same way. the
