Washington, Jan. 22.-Senator Ken
yon, after giving President Taft notice
that he can not longer support him for
denomination In view Of the candidacy
Of Senator Cummins for president. Will
issue statement soon declaring his
support for Cummins.
Sees End Of Taft's Career.
Despite the fact it had been FORE
casted for some days the announce
ment Of Senator Cummins that he
would be q candidate for president
caused big stir in political circles
here. Everywhere the disposition Is
shown to take his candidacy seriously.
That Senator Cunlmins will be formid-
able in case the convention does not
nominate President Taft or Colonel
Roosevelt at the outset of the ballOting
is the general belief.
Senator Kenyon at the White House
today said he expected to Issue state
ment tomorrow defining his position in
regard to the candidacy of his col
league, Senator Cummins. While Sen
ator Kenyon will support Iowa's ia
vorite son. it is said he also will have
a few things to say in praise Of Presi-
dent Taft's administration. He was
the governments official trust buster
before he came to the senate. 1t Is
said he believes much ofsthe apparent
opposition to Mr.. Taft has been caused
by his enforcement ofSthe Sherman
anti-trust law.
The Washington Times in its leading
editorial says:
Senator Albert b. Cummins today
is announced as candidate for the
republican nomination for president
He is honestly and earnestly q candi-'
date In his own right and interest. He
will have the support Of his .owH. state
without question. That state. found
and fostered the Iowa idea and Cum
Minis was Its prophet He will be ac-.
cepted as the presidential possibility.
representing the potentialities Of that
issue.
Because of it's long leadership in
progressive policies, especially on tar
1T. Iowa's position will be Of peculiar
significance.
THE announcement OF Mr.. Cummins,
aside from all this indicates the rapid
ity with which the Taft administration
political house Of cards is falling to
pieces. Glasscock announced yester-
day that West Virginia was not for
Taft: Cummins today claims Iowa; the.
st. Louis committee has endorsed
Roosevelt; New York's state commit :
tee refused to endorse Taft. Even the
south is not sticking loyalty by his
postmasters
The beginning Of the end seems not
merely In sight, but here
Iowa Delegation Favors.
Saturday afternoon kilograms began
coming In from Iowa commending tho
decision of Senator Cummins to enter
the race. The first one. received was
from Ed Chassell. who most warmly
supported the Cummins candidacy.
Inquiries among the members Of the
delegation brought forth number Of
expressions Of approval. Senator KEN

meeting Of the delegation and was tied
up In q committee meeting on the Ste
