CUMM|Ns FORCED
TO CANCEL TOUR
Condition of Iowa Statesman'S
Health Causes Doctors to
Order Long Rest
MUST GIVE UP PET LUXURIES
Noted Insurgent Leader Denied
Golf and Cigars-DecIares
He Is All Right

DES MONIES, Iowa, July 6.-Ardu-
Gus work In the ranks of the insurgents
at the national capital has forced Sem
ator A. B. Cummins to forego the Sc
ries of Chautauqua lectures which he
planned several months ago. Mr..
Cummins has been a sufferer from
heart trouble for many years, and this
was augmented by his strenuous labors
during the recent sessions in Washing
ton.
Not only will Senator Cummins fore
go the pleasure of speaking before
Chautauqua assemblages, but he must
also give up cigars, and his favorite
exercise, golf While his condition has
caused his friends some alarm, the
Iowa statesman denies that there is
anything serious the matter with him.
"I was advised by my doctors to take
a little rest" he said, land that is the
reason some of my dates have been
Cancelled. am feeling well, and expect
that with the cessation from 1abors
which I will enjoy this summer I will
be able to return to Washington with
renewed vigor. There is much work to
be done during the coming session and
1 must bear my part in the fight"
Senator Cummins is nearly as enthu-
siastic a golfer as President Taft, and
misses his daily exercise on the links.
Cigars have also been hobby with
the Iowa legislator, and to be denied
the pleasure of the fragrant weed, to-
gether with golf, is expected to cause
Mr.. Cummins some pangs of regret
that his heart is not exactly normal.

ROOSEVELT To CONFER
WITH NOTED INSURGENTS
Senator Beveridge and Represen-
tative Fish Among Those
Coming to Oyster Bay

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 6.-An-
other important political conference Is
to be held at Sycamore hill tomorrow.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish Of New York
and others who are affiliated more or
less directly with the insurgent move
ment are to be guests of Col. Roose-
welt. The colonel returned here this
evening. During his stay in New York
today he made arrangements for his
first conference with the state "regu-
lars" William H. Barnes, jr., head OF
the Albany county Republican organ
ization, and ]. w. Wadsworth, Jr.'
speaker of the New York state assem-
bly,, are to see him some time this
summer. They were two of the most
active men in defeating the colonel and
Governor Hughes in their fight for the
direct nominations bill.
1t was at their own request, Col.
Roosevelt said, that arrangements were
made for the conference.
Col Roosevelt announced that Gov
ernor Hughes would make his visit next
Tuesday.
Col. Roosevelt gave out at the Out
look office today the following state
ment, referring to the visit to Saga
more Hill yesterday of Representative
PO1ndeXter or w WaSnlnSlon:
"Col. Roosevelt will see very many
senators and congressman, assembly
men and other public officials, repre-
senting all phases of public opinion. He
declines to be reported for any state
ments excepting those which he him
self makes. He has said nothing and
intends to say nothing as to any con-
tests for nomination. If he has any
thing to say on such subject it would
be over his own signature.
"All that Mr.. Roosevelt said in this
case was that he was pleased to find
that, as he had expected from Mr..
Poindexter's past record. Mr.. Poin-
dexter was in hearty sympathy with
Mr.. Roosevelt's views as to conserva-
tion and similar subjects. Mr.. Roose-
welt expressed no opinion about the
senatorial contest, and Mr.. Roosevelt
believes Mr.. Poindexter is not respon-
sible for the statements which have ap-
peared Certainly, in so far as these
statements have quoted Mr.. Roosevelt,
except as above indicated, they had no
foundation whatever in fact"
Col. Roosevelt's statement was called
forth by the fact that he took excep-
tion to special dispatches from oyster
Bay last night In which he was quoted
directly as saying that he would sup
port Mr.. Poindexter in his contest for
a seat in the United States senate.

Chicago & ST. Louis railroad systems,

delivery of orders to the passenger
train to wait three miles north of Mid

siding.
The pilot of the passenger train says
he never received these orders, and the

the strength of the movement has come
from the popular conviction that many
of the men most prominent in party
leadership tend at times to forget that
in a democracy the function of political
leaders must normally be to lead, not
to drive.
1--WE, the men who compose the great
bulk Of the community, wish to gov
ern ourselves. We welcome leadership,
but we wish our leaders to understand
that they derive their strength from us
and that although we look to them for
guidance we expect this guidance to be
in accordance with our interests and
our ideals.
1T believe that the people OF New
York state will in the end insist on
taking a more direct part in the non2g
ination of candidates, because I believe
they will grow more and more to In
