sure from his f1ehQ1A and conhdapt6
from what was the fCase in the early
fall and his present reported decihon

and advice, AZ we'll, of course. as an
admission Of his own very just and
natural ambition.
1t Is not the spirit OF the Cummins
candidacy that the Iowan is the only
republican deserving Of the candid
consideration Of the representatives Of
the party at large; but there is con-
fident willingness to submit him for
comparison with the other men avail
able, to cite the fact that he has thru
many and arduous struggles won the
party leadership Of one OF the greatest
Of republican states and that he has
by resolution, independence and mani
fest qualities of legislative effective
ness attained in a comparatively short
senatorial service to a position Of great
national prominence, that: the republi-
can party in his state has in recent
elections been triumphant, while in
other states, where the conduct of the
party has been characterized by gen

be accepted as the nominee the party
will have champion who knows how
to win victories, who understands the
people and is appreciated by them, who
has the qualities Of mind and character
essential for great public responsible

for the state to do with credit to itself
in view of the present determination,
and that is to give to Senator Cum
Minis candidacy a hearty support. Very
likely it is beyond reason to expect
that all of the bitterness of the past
decade will be forgotten in moment;
but that the great majority Of the re-
pubicans of the state will get be-

ed. Iowa in fact is about as nearly
suited on the proposition Of generous
treatment for Cummins as state well
can be that has had in it great and re-
cent controversies, and the state has
no violent attachment in any other di-
rection to be prejudiced by, the Cum
Minis movement in this state. Those
who are against Taft will get salts
factory candidate and those who might
be for Taft will escape the humiliation
Of being beaten by an outside candidate
against Taft. Iowa will find it easy
to endorse Cummins. select a strong
delegation in his interest and submit
the issue to the republican party in
national convention assembled.
