peat, has he? What chance can he

nave!
Claude Porter did not have united
democracy back of him. The glare Of
the Cummins campaign attracted
many democrats to him, estimates of
the number being as high as 10000.
These democrats, needless to say, are
done with Cummins. They are i'm
pressed now with his insincerity.
They are convinced by his votes in
Congress during the present Admins
tration that he is not what he has
represented himself to be. They do
not forget and they will not forgive
Cummins' reference to them in his
speech in Orchestra hail. Chicago, on
the evening of October "a, 1914. In
this speech as reported by all Chicago
morning newspapers, he said: ANY
man who reaches the conclusion that
he ought to substitute for any repub-
lican the best democrat on earth bad
ly needs an intellectual stimulant."
This, in other words, is declaration
that the worst republican is better
than the best democrat. Moreover,
democrats bitterly resent Cummins'
abuse and badgering of President Will
son in and out of Congress. They
do not forget that he charged the
president with treason and, in his New
Jersey speeches, likened him to Huer-
ia. Democrats are forever done with
Cummins. The forty thousand, or
whatever number, who supported him
in the past, would not now, If they
could, vote to honor him with even
the distinction Of minister to Da-
honey.
It is as plain as pike staff that
Senator Cummins is doomed to de-
feat in November. His elements OF
loss and weakness render that result
certain beyond doubt There are the
other elements of President Wilson'S
high favor with the people and the
strength OF CUMMING democratic op-
Congressman Maurice Connol-
ly, which add surety to opinion. BY
his opposition to President Wilson'S
every proposal and by his abuse of the
president, Cummins has made the
president the issue in the senatorial
campaign. The question to be decided
is whether the voters Of Iowa will
stand by the president or against him.
If they stand by Cummins they stand
against the president, for Cummins il
against the president personally and
against all he stands for. A vote for
Cummins thus becomes vote of re-
pudiation of the president. A vote
against Connolly is vote against SUBJ
stituting for senator who seeks to
pull down the presidents hands SEN
ator who will hold them up. Con-
gresham Connolly stands in the shoes
of President Wilson in this Iowa con-
test. He is willing to rise or fall with
the president. He has supported his
every proposal in Congress. He has
voted for all that Cummins has voted
against. A vote against him or fail
ure to vote at all is punishment to
him for standing with President Will
son for the new freedom.
