INSURGENTS WIN
Iowa's Progressive Repubieas Under
Cummins and DolliVer Control
Convention.
Tariff Law Branded Failure.

Des Moines. Ia,-Republican Iowa
wrote herself vigorously progressive
at a convention which was in an up
roar most of the time.
Senators Cummins and Dolliver and
the insurgent delegation at Washing
ton were enthusiastically endorsed.
The new tariff law was branded as
failure in the light of the party pledge
of 1908. President Taft received the
most tepid of lukewarm Endorsements
A sop to harmony was flung out In
the Endorsement of the administration
Of Governor Carroll. An attempt to
use the "steamroller" to make the
state central committee overwhelm-
ingly progressive was called off, pre-
sumably at the hint of Senator Cum
minis. Senator Cummins was temper
airy chairman: Senator Dolliver per.
manent chairman.
The progressive majority ranged
close to 300 on every question. The
resolutions committee was progress
sive, 6 to 5.
What may have been an attempt to
stampede the delegates in favor OF
the stalwart Republicans was made
when a Second district delegate-for'
mer Congressman Ellsworth Romin'
ger-hoisted a portrait of the presi
dent amid stand-pat cheers. But the
other side answered with silence ol
with jeers. Later another delegate
among the progressives exposed pic
ture of Colonel Roosevelt, occasionins
a demonstration The Taft portrait
was again hoisted and the two like
nesses held so as to confront eacf
other The demonstration interrupted
a roll call for some minutes.

rIoN OF SENATOR GORE.

Muskogee, Okla.-With Senator
Thomas p. Gore reasserung MS
charges that he had been ohered

having offered the bribe, denying he
had ever done any such thing, the IN
vestigation of the Oklahoma indian
land deals, by a committee OF the
house of representatives today sim
mered down to mass of denials.
For four hours, former chairman OF
the Oklahoma Republican state com
mittee. made continuous series OF
denials as to his alleged relation with
what are known as the McMurray con-
tracts, by which, according to Sena'
tor Gore, $4,000 900 or 10 per cent of
$50, ,000.0 to be realized from the
sale of Indian lands to New York
syndicate, was to be diverted from
the Indians in the shape of "attor'
neys' fees"
Interrogating the witness. Congress
man E. w. Saunders, a member OF the
committee, said:
Nov, Mr.. Hamon, you have denied
the testimony of all the witnesses who
have preceded you. You have brand.
ed the assertions of the senator, his
brother his clerk, and the congress
man as absolutely false. 1t would ap-
pear from your denials that a con-
spiracy had been entered into grossly
to misrepresent you. How do you ac'
count for that?"
That's beyond my power to under
