Tt+E cuMMINS LETTER.

SenasOr. A. B.. Cummins has spoken.
He, imRlies. than lie is not in favor Of
Roosevelt and states firmly that; he
is not, in favor of third party, He
intimate sthat there was fraud in the
Chicago, convention and that MOO ra.
publican is bound by the action Of that
conNention if he, individually, believes
the result was obtained through
fraud. The senator decides to-, con-
time calling himself a republican,, but
la offers leo help to the republican
cause. He does not say how, 1e. sill
cast his tallot. We think he. SHOULD
he more explicit. He is against the
Roosevelt third party, opposed to- Taft
and antagonistlc to Wilson ami to a
democratic victory.
As fer the talk of fraud. it must be
remembered that Cummins was an
xious to receive the nomination at the
hands of the delegates over whose Gre
dentials he now processes to have
doubt 1t is reported on good author
ity that, for the benefit Of the party
as whole, the Taft leaders in the
convention offered to- nominate Cum
Minis if Roosevelt would withdraw in
his favor. This Roosevelt refused to
do.
The Cummins managers looked with
the highest favor upon this offer and
were indignant chat Roosevelt re-
fused to compromise. Had Roosevelt
accepted Cummins would have been
nominated by this fraudulent" con-
vention, and you can bet million
dollars to ten penny nail that Mr.
Cummins would then have had nc
doubt as to the regularity and honesty
of the convention.
Analysing Mr. Cummins' letter fur
Their it is apparent that he wishes to
use the republican party, but is un
willing to be of use to it. He would
contribute his mite of malice towards
a republican defeat, but expects the
party to remain true to him.
The situation is impossible. The
senator absolutely releases every old
line republican from any loyalty te
him. 1t will be their duty as we'll as
pleasure to defeat him, just as it is his
duty and pleasure to try to defeat the
republican candidate for president.
To recapitulate:
Cummins cast aspersions on the con
vention which nominated Taft, bu,
he was ready and willing and an
xious to accept the nomination at the
hands of the same convention.
The Iowa Cummins delegates voted
solidly, with Cummins' consent ant
approval, to reflect as national com
mitteeman Mr.. Hart, who in every in
stance voted to seat the delegates
concerning whom the cry of fraud is
low used.
Mr.. Cummins wishes to retain his
palce in the councils of the republican
party and at the same time to do all
that he can to destroy it.
He has no presidential choice. His

office of the city hall behind locke
doors, with six men present, all O
whom had been in the regular cor
vention until after the credential
committee had reported. These mel
represented four out of the fourteen
counties Of the district. No roll cal
was asked for in the national commit
tee on the seating of these Taft dele
gates, but it is one of the districts o
which it is claimed that Mr.. Roosevelt
was robbed.
The California Contest.
The California contest has beer
much more widely discussed than any
other. 1t has been the practice of the
republican party for thirty years to
require that the district delegates tt
the national convention should he
elected by the voters Of the distrjc'
from which they came.
The call for the national convention
this year provided that the election
both of delegates-atlaTge and district
delegates, might be lin conformity
with the laws of the state in which
the election occurs, if the state com.
mittee Or any such congressional
committee so direct; but provided fur
Their that in no state shall an election
be so held as to prevent the delegates
from any congressional district, and
their alternates, being selected by the
republican electors of that district"
After this call was issued Dec. IL,
1911, the legislature of California, I'M
der progressive control. passed law
providing for the election of dele
gates-at-large and district delegates
by. state wide primary. That is, all
delegates were to be elected at large.
1t is elementary law that every vol
untary association is the final Judge
OF it's own membership and has apso-
lutte right to fix the basis of that
membership. This: is as true of pc
litical convention as of a, religious
UNCONVENTIONAL convention,. or scien-
tific congress. IL the legislature of one
state can fix the basis of membership
in national convention, then the leg
islature of every state may do the
same, and infinite confusion would
result
The rule i'm the republican party
rests upon the soundest lUssible basis.
Each congressional district is given
its own representation by two dele
gates. The state at large is given its
representation of four delegates for
the two senauDrss The opposite rule
might result, for instance, in the city
of New York. throwing the whole
ninety votes in the state of New York
in a national conventions. and That, too;
by very small preponderance of the
votes.
The Taft delegates in the Fourth
district exercised the option given
them under the primary law and did
not sign the delegates statement
binding them to support the candidate
receiving the highest number of votes
cast throughout the state. This con.
test being presented to the nationai
commi;ree, it was compelled either &c
seat tile Taft delegates, who had, 1e-
ceiveu a majority of the votes in their
district, or to abandon the call for the
convention which it h;sd issued, and
also the sound and salutary practice
of the party for upward of: thirty
years.

way to benefit, not the republican

His action releases any republican

cation to support him at any time.

The Blue

A Man Becomes a Convert
to Its Charms
By CLARISSA MACKIE

Mr.. Turner glanced listlessly at the
latest applicant for the vacant position
In his Office. She was a rather tall
girl, quite stout. with light hair and
blue eyes. There were soft infantile
curves to her features that suggested
sentimental disposition. Mr.. Turner
uttered soundless snort Of contempt
what experience have you had?"
Turner began, glancing at the card
which bore the young woman's name,
Flora Cass.
Miss Cass proceeded to relate in a
monotonous voice that she had been
employed by various concerns in the
city, and she presented sundry letters
Of Recommendation from the different
establishments, which all appeared to
be cheeerfully resigned at the prospect
Of dispensing with the services Of this
competent stenographer.
"Wear blue ribbons in your hairY

sharp eyes upon her.
Miss Cass tossed her head defantly.
"Well, nobody ever asked me that Ques-
ton before" she uttered in an offend
ed tone.

Sometimes" snapped Miss Cass
rather impertinently.
"Well,'' remarked Mr.. Turner, play
ing with an ivory paper cutter, II will

dress and let you know within a day
or two whether you will fill our re-
quirements."

she went down in the elevator. ''rd

"Blue ribbons? What has that got

puzzled.

that 1 know of, only he asked me if

and told him that did sometimes
so he didn't engage me-"
Hester Dorman smiled as she went
up in the elevator to the second floor.
Work had been very dull in her field,
and it seemed as if every business firm
in the city was retrenching in office
expenses and that there was no room
for her anywhere She needed the
work too. Her father was not very
well, and she Ionged to be of some as

If fate should ever bunch its hits to

vice from me. Put your foot down on

employees for a Christmas present for
The chief executive. l have been a

good thing that the recipient of the
present did not hear what those on the
outside were saying. He would have
perhaps kicked the gift into the gut

service given Governor Eberhart last
week was that Attorney General Simp-
