CUMMINGS Will STICK
Iowa Senator Will Not Join New Party
Movement

Washington, July Ex-senator Cum
minis, of Iowa, progressive Republican
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton at the Chicago convention. has
formally declared against the new par
ty movement led by Theodore Roosevelt
and announced his allegiance to the
old party. In so doing, Mr.. Cummins
declared that bosses could not be es-
capped by organization of new parties
and that to those Republicans who af-
erintelligent inquiry conclude that Pres
ident Taft's denomination was the re-
suit of fraudulent votes, the nominee
of the Republican party" He pointed
fthe Republican party" He pointed
out, however, that disappointment or
individual dishonesty cannot be a foun-
dation of a new party.
John G. Capers, of this city. South
Carolina member of the Republican ma
tional committee, who supported Col
Roosevelt for the presidential nonina-
ton at Chicago, also formally announc-
eo his intention to support President
Taft's candidacy. Mr.. Capers, in a
statement, said the work of the ma
jority of the national committees was
rot one bit more severe than the steam
roller methods of four years ago"
Senator Cummins' statement was
his first public utterance since the
Chlcago convention renominated Pres
ident Taft. Mr.. Cummins pointed out
that throughout his public life he had
been fighting to make the Republican
party the progressive party of the
country and that while he had never
hesitated to denounce party policies
when he believed them to be wrong OF
to criticize party leaders, he had al
ways believed then and still believed
that the Republican party offered
more hope for substantial progress to-
ward government than any other po-
litical Organiza tion.
1T was but a short while ago." he
said. that the progressive movement
in the Republican party took on de-
finite form and vet at this time three

bership of the party is overwhelming-

cago simply because We had not con-
centrated our energies upon abolition
of a false and unjust basis of repre-
sentation; but the basis can and will
be overthrown and another system for
the nomination of presidential candi-
dates will be substituted before an
other presidential nomination is
made"

Divisional BASIS THERE, TOO
Rio Grande Follows Out Scheme of
Hartman Lines.

AsAO OuI SC1enle Oh
Hartman Lines.
President Bush has placed the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad under
divisional organization. This is SINH
lar to the plan adopted by the Rock
Island in Topeka. Heretofore it has
been operated under the departmental
basis. Under the divisional basis the
superintendent. engineers, train dis
patchers. master mechanics, ETC., of
every division have an organization of
their own and work together with the
superintendent of the division as the
ranking officer. All matters concern
ing the division are decided by them
directly without being referred to
headquarters, unless some question of
unusual Importance arises which re-
quires decision from the superior Of
fcers.
The great advantage of the division
al system is that it does away with a
vast amount of 'red tape" and en-
ables the road and it's patrons to get
prompt action on matters instead of
having everything referred down the
line and through each department
separately, causing interminable DELAY
Practical railroad men say that the
change, which became effective on the
Denver & Rio Grande on Monday,
should result in greatly improved ser
vice. 1t will be remembered that when
Mr. Bush was made president of the
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain a year
ago one of his first acts was to change
that road from a departmental to a
divisional basis, and the change has
proved satisfactory

CABINET POSITIONS
FOR WILSON'S AIDES
Bryan and Other Prominent
Supporters May,be Named
Rumor Has Already Made Probable
Selections, Including the Retention
of Sec'y Fisher

Princeton, Nov. s.. The election of
Wilson has released a flood of con-
lectures regarding the make up of the
first Democratic cabinet since 1892.
This is one list: =
Secretary William Bryan J.
of Nebraska.
= Secretary of the Treasury William
McAdoo of New York.
Postmaster General-William Nc
Combs of New York.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Louis Brandeis of Massachusetts,.
:, Secretary of the Interior-Walter
L, Fisher of Illinois.
In addition to these men President
Wilson's CABINET may contain Josephus
Daniels of North Carolina. Palmer
Mitchell of Pennsylvania, Joseph W.
Folk of Missouri. Charles R. Crane
of Illinois and Rudolph Spreckels of
San Francisco.
1T is believed here that there is no
reasonable doubt as to Mr.. Bryan's
being offered and accepting the posi-
tion of prime minister to the in
coming administration. Indeed, it is
said, the appointment took definite
shape in that mysterious campaign
conference which Wilson and Bryan
held at Lincoln. Neb., during the
candidates WESTERN tour
AMBITION MAY A BRYAN.
TIE sole consideration which might
bar Mr.. Bryan's acceptance is thought
to be a possible ambition to run for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion in 1916, in which case a place
Wilson's cabinet would be embarrass-
ing. But this is answered by those
who point out that the Democratic
platform indorses the one term prin-
ciple very strongly, if conditionaIly.
McAdoo. who has borne the brunt
OF the campaign during the illness of
Chairman McCombs, is said to be
slated for the treasurership. A re-
port that he would take the war port
folio in order to turn his engineering
genius into the Panama canal and
Mississippi river projects was denied
by those supposed to be closest to the
cabinet situation.
Brandeis, the lawyer publicist. who
is credited with the inspiration for
dov. Wilson's trust policy, might
naturally be expected to take the post
now held be Atty. Gen. Wickersham.
But it is said today he will not go
into the department of Justice. but
into the department of commerce and
labor.
MCOMBS WOULD FOLLOW PRECED-
McCombs, the young P%rincetonian
who won the presidency for Wilson
by winning his nomination for him,
would follow recent custom if he
stepped from the campaign manager
ship into the postmaster generals
Office.
The possible retention of Secretary
Fisher was one of the most interesting
stories of the day. 1t grew gut of
the close personal friendship when
exists between the secretary and
Charles R. Crane Of Chicago. It is
considered highly probable that Presi-
dent Wilson. in view OF Mr.. Crane's
great services TO his cause, may ask
Secretary Fisher to remain in his
present position.
