A cUMMINs ENDORSEMENT?

1t is not strange that Colonel Yount
should seek for some explanation o
the large majority received by Sen
ator Kenyon, but it is rather strained
to construe the election of kenyon
as an endorsement of Cummins fol
president.
One of the moving factors with the
republican voters seems to have beer
the desire to get away from the ultra
standpat position on the one hant
and the ultra Cummins position OF
the other.
The vote was the expression of
desire for unity. Not on the basis Of
Senator Cummins, but by uniting or
new force in Iowa politics-Senatol
Kenyon.
1t was this spirit which elected him
in the legislature despite the opposi
ton of the ultra standpatters on the
one hand and the ultra Cummins peo
pie on the other.
The fact that Senator Kenyon, while
supporting Cummins as an Iowa can
didate, lost no opportunity to express
his CONFIDENCE in the president
gained him many votes among the
Taft supporters. The fact that in re-
turn for his support, Senator Cum
Minis made one speech in Iowa in fav-
or of Kenyon, does not change the
situation. 1t was not that he loved
Kenyon more, but Young less.
The conclusion which Colonel
Young draws, that the recent election
of Kenyon was a verdict for Cum
minis is very far-fetched. That issue
was fought out in every county in
the state. In this county the total
vote in the caucuses was almost as
large as the total primary vote.
Those who made the fight for Taft
in Iowa will not be satisfied with any
perfunctory support of their candidate
by the delegates selected by them.
We think these men understand why
they were elected and for what pur-
pose and we do not believe they will
waver or prove untrue to their trust.
How Colonel Young can read
presidential preference primary into
the senatorial election is more than
we can see. Especially when Cum
Minis opposed the first election OF
Kenyon and only supported him this
time as a choice of evils.

THOSE FAKE CONTESTS.

Much is being said about the steam
roller" in connection with the work
of the republican national committee
in deciding the fake contests brought
by the Roosevelt forces.
These contests were not brought
in good faith. This must be apparent
to ALL Evidently the Roosevelt forces
thought that by contesting everything
they could at least "slip something
lover" some place down the line. The
Thought was, first to fool the people
with loud talk of fraud and irregu-
larity, second, to intimidate the com.
1mittee, so that having decided cases
in Alabama, Arkansas and other
states against Roosevelt they would
feel that they could not be one-sided
and must decided some contests in
Roosevelt's favor. If defeated in the
contests the third and last object was
to pose as martyrs to steam roller
and pave the way for a bolt.
Prior to the presentation of these
contests, Senator Dixon repeatedly as
sured the public that all of the con
tests were brought on good and SUI
ficient grounds, that no contest would
be raised for which there was no
good reason.
When the test came the contes
grounds proved so farcial, so absurd
so lacking in good faith, that in al
but two cases they were thrown GU
by unanimous vote of the committee
Taft men and Roosevelt men alike.
But the most damning evidence o
lack of good faith comes from Roose
welt himself The following is from
an interview with Roosevelt concern
"There was one district l though
ing the Alabama cases:
was for me, but told my manager
before they went to Chicago that
did not expect a single contest to b.

titled to it. l want justice, tolt
them, and no more than justice, ant

TAFT WILL BE NOMINATED

Of course Roosevelt will bolt. But
will his delegates follow him. 1t will
be serious question with them. 1t
will mean great personal sacrifice, it
will mean severing the relationships,
the friendships, the associations OF
lifetime. To many it will mean polit,
ical suicide. We do not believe the
delegations from Illinois and Maryland
and from many other states will join
in bolt We do not believe Senator
Cummins would wish to destroy his
party standing by leading his Iowa
ten into a boilers convention. 1t
would mean his certain defeat two
years from now for the party would
be so hopelessly split that democrat
would surely succeed him.
1t is easy enough for Roosevelts
managers to threaten a bolt, but it
will be difficult to carry any large
number of delegates with them.

w. J. McKim, in independence, Mo-,
June 3, 1912. At the time of his death
he was in his S9th year, having been
born in Chautauqua county, N Y,
Dec II, 1928. In 1853 he married
Miss Christiana K1ock, in their home
county, and the following year they
started for the far west. They took
up government land in what is now
known as Crawford county and retain
ed the original homestead until 1907,
when they moved to Missouri. At
various times in his long residence
in Crawford county he held the offices
of justice of the peace, supervisor,
recorder and treasurer. In 1866 he
and his wife united with the Reor-
ganized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, and have ever
been active members Of that church,
he holding the office of an elder for
many years. His last sickness was
of severe but short duration. He
leaves to mourn his departure, his
aged wife, for nearly sixty years his
companion, one daughter, Mrs. w.
j. McKim, six grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren, together with a
host of friends to remember his long
and honored life. He was laid to rest
at Independence, Mo.

MYSTERY IN DEATH
Of DEPUTY CONSUL
VIM. B. MACMASTER
Official in Cartegena, Colon
bia, Believed to Have
Been Murdered.

The State Department was startled
today when a report was received from
the consul at Cartegena, Colombia, stat
ing that William B. MacMaster. vice
and deputy consul at that place. was
killed while hunting on Sunday last.
There is a strong impression in con-
sular and diplomatic circles that Mac
Master was murdered,
On several occasions in recent years
MacMaster has been murderously at
tackled and injured. For the recent as
sault upon him. while entering his resi-,
dence. a number Of Colombians were
sentenced to jail.
Details of his killing have not ye,
been received, and an investigation has
been ordered. The antipathy to Ameri'
cans on the part of natives has beer
at fever heat since the Panama terri
tory was recognized as a republic by
this country some years ago. The an
tipathy became more marked last veal
when Secretary of State Knox was
warned not to visit that republic. Mac
Master was born in Colombia of Ameri
can parents.

Colored Workman Hurt
By Descending Elevator

Peter Lewis, colored, forty-eight years
old, of 1S1 o street northwest, was
struck by the hoisting elevator on the
front of the Munsey building, shortly
before l o'clock this afternoon, and
badly injured.
Lewis was sitting on the scaffold ex-
tending from the front of the structure
opposite one OF the top floors, when the
elevator on the outside of the building,
used for hoisting materials, came down
and struck him on the head.
An ambulance was called and Lewis
was taken to the Emergency Hospital,
where II was found his injuries were
of a serious nature. The bones in the
front OF his skull and face were badly
crushed, and the surgeons thought that
some of the pieces of bone had pene-
trated his brain. 1t was decided to
operate Immediately to relieve the pres
sure on his brain.

POSTAL EMPLOYEES
SEE VICTORY IN
REED AMENDMENT
Federation President Be-
lieves Wording Allows AZ
filiation With A. F. OIL.

The postoffice bill, as finally passed by
the Senate last night, Is in a form that
is satisfactory to postal employees. They
have won an important victory for
themselves and the whole civil service
in the passage Of the measure.
The bill as 1t stands permits postal
clerks to organize. They must not.
however, affiliate with any outside or
ganization which has the power. to
order a strike. 1t was at first thought
this would prevent them from joining
the American Federation Of Labor.
But President Oscar F. Nelson of the
National Federation of Postoffice
Clerks says 1t will not, as the fedora
ton has no power to order a strike nor
can it levy an assessment for that pur-
pose.
Victory for Service.
The gag rule is nullified and the pos
tai employees are given the right OF
going to Congress for redress of griev-
ances without incurring the danger OF
dismissal or demotion. The bill as II
passed the Senate extends these privi-
leges not merely to the postal EN-,
pioyes but to all employees in the civil
service. II is a victory. in other words,
not merely for the postal clerks, but for
| the whole civil service establshment
An amendment was adopted on mo-
ton of Senator Bryan which provides
that. instead Of allowing pay for over
| time, where clerks are obliged to work
extra hours. they shall be compensated
in the next six days by a "lay-off'
equal to the overtime.

OF the procession was the marine band
from the navy yard. Following them
was a battalion of the naval reserves Of
Pennsylvania.
burst himself rode in a carriage in q
