DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 3.-Sen-
ator A. B. Cummins, lifelong progress
sive, and candidate for the presi-
dency at the national republican con-
vention, issued statement today in
which he opposed President Taft, says
be will vote for Roosevelt and goes on
record as opposed to the nomination
of third party state ticket in Iowa at
the state convention held here tomor-
row for that purpose, which Roose-
yelt will address.
Cumming says the republicans OF
the country opposed Taft's nomination
simply 'because In his administration
Of the Office Of president he had not
done and said the things which the
great body OF the people believed he
should have done and said"
eummins says he will vote for
Roosevelt for president and adds:

The denomination Of Mr.. Taft was
opposed by an overwhelming major
Hg OF the republicans throughout the
country simply because in his admin

WILL SPEAK EXTEMPoRE
Carried Physician and Two Tanks Of
Oxygen in Case the Western
Trip Is Too strenu-
Gus

on BOARD RoosEvEIT,s
TRAIN, NEARING INDIANAPOLIS.
Ind. Sept. 3.-That Colonel Roosevelt
realized that his western swing
would be about the most strenuous
campaigning he ever did, was indicar
ted today in the announcement that
in addition to the colonels encourage
at st. Louis would be physician.
Roosevelt's luggage includes two huge
oxygen tanks, for use to keep the COZ
onel's throat In good working order.
The physician was suggested by Col
onel Cecil Lyon of Texas.
Elated with the success with which
he bowled over an interlocutor in
Hartford, Conn, who might have be-
come troublesome IL allowed to go
unanswered, Roosevelt. adopted the
method of inviting questions from
his hearers and he expected to keep
that up throughout the trip.
There was no scheduled speech on
today's program until late in the aft
ernoon in st. Louis. The colonel put
in his time going over campaign lit
erature, debating to his stenographer
and making brief platform speeches.
He said that there would be no form
al speech on the whole trip. He pre-
fers to speak extempore.
1t is the evident intention Of Roose-
welt to make some kind Of a speech at
every train stop IL there are as many
as two persons waiting, end 80 far4,the
crowd has not been lacking. When
the grinding of wheels and brake
shoes indicate stop, the colonel
takes look out of the window and if
the prospect is inviting, he steps to
the car platform. George e. Roose-
velt, his cousin, grasps one shoulder
to prevent the colonel from leaning
too far out, and stenographer leans
over the other shoulder to catch
what is said.

chattahooga, August 1A-(special.)-- That either Kid" Elberfeld or Otto Jor- dan will manage the Lookouts during the 1913 season seems as safe bet as a wager upon the Boston Red Sox to cop the gopfalon in Ban Johnson's enterprise ing organization.
 Up until the past few days, or in fact until the Dobbers last invasion of this burg, Jordan was generally conceded to have an inside track upon next years s managerial position. but certain remarks dropped by Johnny Dobbs showed that the Tobasco Kid could not be eliminated as d managerial possibility.
 It IS now practically certain that Smith will be seen in new fields next season. The tactiturn helmsman still maintains that he has no plans formulated as to next season, but it seems pretty safe bet to say that he will be seen back at Ponce de Leon in home uniform. The fans in Crackerville from all that can be learned here are strong for William Billy

SOUTHERN LEAGUE MUCH SLOWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEAR
MANAGER WORDSWORTH SAYS THE LEAGUE IS NOT AS FAST AS IN THE PAST-NOT MUCH PROMISING TALENT

That the Southern league is slower than 1t has been for the past three years is the belief of Manager Moles- worth. Fewer stars and pitchers of poorer quality are in the league, ac- eording to his judgment, than have been in the Southern league for years. There is little chance for the league lS be as fast next season.
 ''The Southern Is not nearly as fast as it was in 1910 and 1911. There are fewer pitchers of ability. while the batsmen are inferior to those of for mer years. Last year seven pitchers went higher and have not drlfted back. These mere Hub Perdue, Beft Maxwell, Rube Benton, Frank Allen, Maury Kent, Al Klawitter Otto Hess and Bill Trough, who went up last season. All Of these, save one are Haling good In leagues of higher classification than the Southern.
 "rhee batsmen this year do not seem to be in the same class with those of last year The Southern league has unearthed no phenoms in the slnggns line and other than Smith. who is the most promising piece of young ma terial in tse league. and Al Demarec no young pitchers have been de- veloped who are competent to go high CT The different clubs have brought back into the Southern many veteran pitchers.
 "A batsman who could hit 300 last year in the Southern should be able to hit .315 this year. I believe that there will not be more than tb men in the Southern league to secure pig league trials this fall. Moran, smith, Demaree, Johnston and probably 10 others will go up to the big leagues and probably three more will be drafted by the Class AA leagues.
 There is not much foundation TOT the belief that the Southern will be even fast in 1918 as this year. Tho scouts throughout the country Eavc confessed that there is little prom ising talent In the minor leagues and that material which Is at all likely will be grabbed by .the big league teams and farmed out. After the 16 major league clubs take a drawing at the little fellows then come the 24 class AA clubs. Finally after 10 clubs have gathered that part of the material, then the Southern league teams will have q chance to buy ur draft the men With these conditions existing I see little promise of d fast CT Southern league in 1918.
 Doe Johnston probably struck the keynote recently Doc had just driven out his second hit of the game and came by the bench. He smiled at me and said, You ought to be in the game this year. Moley. It's easy.

ELBERFELD OR JORDAN ARE
 SLATED TO BOSS LOOKOUTS

and the latter, 1t must be admitted. con siders the Georgia metropolis the best town in the whole world.
 Elberfed as manager in Chattanooga would be highly acceptable. He is prac- tically a local product and Is highly popu- lar here. The local club actually signed him this spring. but no terms could be agreed upon and after sojourning for a few brief days in the American associa- ton he went to Montgomery. It is un- ders tood that the differences which ex isted between the ''Kid' and the local club official at that time are now com pletely healed.
 No less popular than Elberfeld is Jor- dan and whichever one is made pilot will be of little interest to local fans in case both Otto and Norman arc Look outs. These two men would furnish the pivot for one of. rhe steadest infields ever seen in these Iarts. It is highly probable that the kid would be shifted to third leaving Baienti at short. A pretty safe bet for the next infield here would be slberfeld, Ralenti, Jordan and Barr.
