Iowa Senator's Hope Of Winning
Over Progressives Wrecked

Secretary Bryan commsnds Maurles

Make Splendid Senator

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 20. 1917
Colonel Roosevelt's attack upon Son.
ator Cummins in his speech in this
city last Wednesday has taken the
heart out Of Cummins' supporters.
They privately admit now there 10 no
chance to defeat Maurice Connolly. the
democratic nominee for senator.
In his Coliseum speech here Colon.
Ell Roosevelt appealed to progressives
to stand together against Cummins.
He compared Cummins to the op-
onents of Abraham Lincoln in I'LL.
nois in 1858. Here in Iowa" he said.
the republicans who ask you to sup
port them on the ground that they
are ear-progressives, occupy precise
ly the position which the supports Of
Stephen A. Douglas occupied whom hs
ran against Abraham Lincoln"
He spoke of Cummins as trying to
appear to be near-progressive and 90
allied with Barnes and Penrose. He
said, ~ feel that we have 4 right to
look to you of Iowa for leadership and
that you should back the real progress
sives and not be put in the position Of
claiming to be near-progressives; IN
the uncomfortable attitude Of sndeav.
oring to be progressive enough not to
ALLEVIATE progressive support and 1T
the same time walk with 4 sufficient.
ly mincing gait to keep step with NJ
Barnes and Mr.. Penro %
Senator Cummins only hope Of cleo.
ton lay in his ability to win over to
his support the $1,000 former repub.
licans who left their party in 1912
and voted for Judge Stevens, the pro-
gressive party candidate for governor.
The senator had no hope OF winning
over the $4,000 republicans who voted
for Savage and against him In the
June primary. He knows they hate
him too intensely ever to support him
and that they will never forgive him
for the character Of the fight he made
upon them in past years.
Colonel Roosevelt's appeal to the
members of the progressive party to
vote against Cummins means that
Cummins must now abandon hope Of
their support, and with that. all hope
Of election.
The DETECTION Of the prosressives
from the republican party in 1919
nearly beat Clarke for governor, his
majority over Dunn. democrat. having
been only 1899.
With the $4,000 anti-Cummins repub-
licans, who we're for Clark in 1912 and
for Savage In the primary, voting, 90
everybody recognizes thAy will vote
against Cummins in November, 1t 10
obvious that the senator has no show
whatever Of success.
