What Rawson Says.
Charles A. Rawson, chairman OF
the state republican central commit
tee gave out the following statement:
| sNf tor
Cummins at 10000 and Clarke at
through. While Harding was scratch-
ed in some places, he made gains in
others to offset it. In view of hard
fight and unlimited amount of money
to spend, the republican victory Is
all the more satisfactory"
Connolly Runs Behind.

S. senator against Cummins, carried
Dubuque county by but $500 as
against 5000 two years ago when he
was elected to congress, gain for
Cummins and loss for Connolly in
his home of 1900. Clarke ran we'll
with Cummins and in some precincts
ahead. Tae democrats elected the
county ticket. Senator Schrup and
Representative Paine were returned

cnem was the other representative

Connolly Still Hopeful.
Dubuque, Nov. A. Congressman
Maurice Connolly, democratic candi-
date for senator against Cummins re-
fused this afternoon to acknowledge
his defeat. He said late returns indi-
cate that he is making good gains and
Cummins apparent lead is being over
come. He pointed to the 1000 ma
jority in Woodbury. county as indic-
alive of the gains made. He admitted
however that the contest is close.
