SIDE OF MAIN FIGHT.

Des Moines. Ia. June 4.--This state,
the immediate center Of the nations
interest in Republican politics, refused
to close the primary campaign with
tonights meetings. and will continue
Il Monday.
State officers and Representatives in
Congress will be nominated. Broadly
speaking. the issue In the Republican
ranks is the present Republican ad-
ministration.
Outside the broad line Of demarca-
ton between the factions, there are.
however. factional differences so com
plicated that even veteran observers
Ike Lafayette Young, admit their In
ability to solve the situation.
All agree that the prestige of SEN
ator Cummins Is involved in the fight
between Governor B. F. Carroll AMI
Warren Garst for the gubernatorial
nomination. Cummins is said 70
have been forced to support Garst by
the stand pat maneuver Of placing
the present governor under the ban
ner Of the national administration.
The formation of a Taft club In sup
port OF Carroll was the principal play
in the development. Thus the renom-
ination OF the governor viii be hailed.
IL Il takes place. by the sO-cailed re-
dictionaries as a slap at Cummins AS
to mis- Owa thoughts on the matter. the
governor has said little save that he
does not purpose to be dictated 20 by
Cummins and Dolliver.
