.Des Moines. June 1.-The. primary
campaign closes tonight with oratorical
fireworks in Des Moines, the attraction
being Senator A. B. Cummins who is to
speak at the Auditorium and carry a
message to his friends of Des Moines
and the progressive republicans Of
Iowa. There can be no doubt it will
be a great meeting. Des Moines pro-
gressives are lined up solid and
square for big fight.
Il want all my friends in Iowa to
attend the primary and to vote at the
primary" wrote Senator Cummins to a
letters into the state urging that the
caught mapping as they were two years
ago and four years ago.
Il desire the nomination of my col
league, William 8. Kenyon, for the sem
ate. and I am for the nomination Of
Lieutenant Governor George w. Clarke
for governor, and for progressive can
didates all down the ticket" he said
to friend who last week visited him
with important congressional matter.
Des Moines progressives will tonight
give the lie to the reports circulated all
ever the state that they are divided
and fighting their own candidates.
They will make it emphatic.
The enemies Of the progressive cause
are said to be fighting with despera-
ton to turn the tide against Clarke in
the last days, and have corps Of
automobile parties out in the state cir
culating all manner Of falsehoods and
campaign roorbacks to confuse the
-progressives. Reports show that the
voters are not being fooled.
A last desperate attempt to injure
Senator Kenyon has been made with
a circular which undertakes to show
that he appeared before legislative
committees and favored legislation to
take the right to have free passes away
from railroad employees and to prevent
issue Of stock passes The writer is
familiar with every step Of the legisla-
ton Of Iowa on these questions and
knows that the story is absolutely
false.
A letter was sent out this week by
Robert J. Fleming and G.. S. Gilbertson.
who have managed and directed the
campaigns for Cummins and the pro-
gressives. urging all progressives to
close up the ranks and stand firm for
Kenyon and Clarke.
All over the state the progressive
republicans are alert and report that
they are prepared to get out big vote
An effort has been made here to
spread abroad the view that the pro-
gressive republicans of Des Moines and
Polk county are all divided and rent in
twain over candidates for state office.
The truth is that a very strong work.
