robbery can't imagine. I don't

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. -, 1914
Colonel R%oosevelt's attack upon Sem
ator Cummins in his speech in this
city last Wednesday has taken the
heart out Of CUMMING supporters.
They privately admit now there is NO
chance to defeat Maurice Connolly, the
democratic nominee Tor senator.
In his Coliseum speech here Colon.
81 Roosevelt appealed to progressives
to stand together against Cummins.
He compared Cummins to the op-
onents Of Abraham Lincoln in I'LL
nois in 1853. Here in Iowa." he said,
'the republicans who ask you to sup
port them on the ground that they
are near-progressives, occupy precise
~ the position which the supports Of
Stephen A. Douglas occupied when hs
ran against Abraham Lincoln" i
He spoke Of Cummins ~ trying to
appear to be q near-proSressive and ~
allied with Barnes and Penrose.. He
said, II feel that We have 4 right to

that you should back tho real progress

oring to be progressive enough not to
ALLEVIATE progressive support and at
the same time walk with a sufficient
ly mincing gait to keep step with Mr..
Barnes and Mr.. Penrose."
Senator Cummins' only hope OF cleo
ton lay in his ability to win over to
his, support the. 1900 former repub-
licans who left their party in 1912
and voted for Judge Stevens, the pro-
Eressive 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
Tor the character Of the fight he made
upon them In past years.
Colonel R%oosevelt'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
