Kenyon Helped by cummins.

Des Moines dispatch: The Taft
people had counted confidently on the
Webster delegation. having had it
pledged to them. AT midnight before
the convention. and after the arrival
OF Senator Cummins from Washington,
the Taft people We're informed tnat
Cumn1ins had compelled Kenyon to
turn the Webster county delegates to
him. II was then conceded that the
Cummins machine would be at the
disposal of Kenyon in his senatorial
fight. Lafayette Young had. no
machine. He depended entirely on
his personal popularity and on
widespread friendship through
out the state These appeared
very sure of winning for him.
But the systematic work done for
Kenyon in every part of the state
especially in the standpat counties,
where the regular Republicans we're
rnorganized and did not appreciate
the danger they were in-counted
strongly for Kenyon.

Mr.. Youna,s Defeat.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Senator
Kenyon's opponent. Hon Lafayette
Young, made hard fight. Mr.. Young
is a resourceful campaigner, with a
large personal and political following.
He is brilliant stump speaker, and
a good booster for Iowa Moreover, he
has been campaigning for months. He
had novel method of seeking votes.
He has been lecturing night and day,
speaking on various subjects, but with
the one idea in view-that of LANDING
the nomination for United States SEN
ator. Mr.. Young was confident that
he would win, But conditions in
Iowa politics are not such that he
could win on primary vote. His
alignment with one side of the intense
factionalism which has prevailed in
Iowa for so many years made him an
easy mark for the opposition. The
fact that Mr.. Young has been long in
the political arena also was to his dis
advantage The people naturally
turned to newer and younger man.
diEinclination to give Des Moines
two senators was another determining
factor.

Nh. YouNe,s DEFEAT.

The defeat of LATE Young for
United States senator was great
surprise as well as a great disap-
pointment TO his many friends in all
parts O.. the state 1t did not seem
possible that enough votes could be
mustered against him to encompass
his rejection for position for which
he was so well qualified in every
way. as he demonstrated so conclu-
sively during his brief career as a
member of the senate by appointment
by George Carroll. Moreover. his
personal popularity and the fact that
he had spoken in every county in the
state in advance OF the election was
greatly in his favor. Mr.. Young is
unquestionably the most eloquent
orator in Iowa and it was expected
that these combined factors would
make him winning candidate. But
the opposition was thoroughly and
effectively organized and achieved
notable victory as the result The
mistake of Mr.. Young's friends was
in taking too much for granted The
lesson of it is that neither oratory nor
personal popularity can stand against
the determined onslaughts of a we'll
organized and slSilfuiIy managed poiit-
ical machine Though defeated, Mr..
Young Is to be congratulated upon the
kind of campaign he made. From
first to last it was on a high plane
and In every way creditable to him
and the party. The same is to be safo
of Senator Kenyon's campaign Meth.

terested in manufacturing the pro-
ducts of these industries would be IN
/ iuriously affected to the extent OF
many millions of dollars a year by the
adoption of the free sugar bill now
under consideration by congress Is
/ the information conveyed TO those
who have made inquiry of the state
department as to the effect of the
adoption OF this measure upon the
reciprocity convention with Cuba. The
opinion given by the officials OF the
department Is that the enactment OF
! the proposed measure would put an
end at once to the reciprocity treaty
by abolishing the preferential treat
mt which Cuba now receives on her
sugar exports to the United States
which now amount to sl00.00n.000 an
nualiy and constitute five-sixths of all
Cuban exports to this country.
The application of this action to the
farmers and manufacturers of the
United States is found In the fact
that under the reciprocity act many
lines of American products now prac-
tically dominate the Cuban market.
The sales of American foodstuffs to
Cuba amount roundly to slT.o0000o a
year while iron and steel manufac-
lures, consisting largely of agricul-
tural machinery. constitute nearly
sl5.0Go,ooo additional and cotton and
leather goods make up $1S.000.0oo
more. Altogether. it is reported by
representatives of the department Of
state, seS.ooo.00O of American pro-
ducts would be adversely affected by
the abrogation of the Cuban treaty
through the adoption of the free sugar
hill. Meanwhile, Canada is already
conducting negotiations with view
tc extending her flour trade through
out the West Indies and several
European nations have urged tenta-
tive offers CT concessions unon Cuba
with view to securing the adyan-
tages at present enjoyed by the Unit
ed States in this rich market in CO Sc
this country decides to relinquish its
hold upon Cuban trace by the aboli
ton of the duty on sugar.

That might have been parlor mat,
And cost three thirty-six or less.
