Des Moines, Oct. 16.-The political
campaign OF Senator Cummins for the
presidential nomination-if such il may
Ne called-is making satisfactory pro-
gress and doing quite as well as could
De expected in view OF conditions which
make for great difficulty in any poiis-
zeal movement.
At present this seems 70 De about the
situation:
The early decisions are TO be made
in the western group OF states, where
preference primaries are 10 De hela
next spring.
II is almost certain that the name OF
Senator Cummins will be proposed in
all these states, and will De opposed in
some cases by local candidates and IN
others by candidates. representing an
opposite political policy.
There is aboundant reason for believ-
ing that the Iowa candidate will receive
favorab Bile Endorsement and approval as
distinctly the western candidate. repre-
sen,ing a sincere desire 10 organize the
party for victory, in Minnesota, Oregon,
WASHINGTON, the two Dakotas and Ne
braska.
In some other states the chance IL
excellent for winning campaign Ter
the Iowa rnan-in Kansas, Colorado
and Oklahoma.
! There is a possibility OF favor in
| Missouri, Illinois and in the mid
western group of wyoming, Montana
and Utah.
California is as yet an enigma. II
may be all wrong, or it may fall into
line for western man in fine shape.
It all depends on what the Iowa people
in California do.
What has been and is being done!
Just this, that serious investigation Is
being made in these various states with
a view TO ascertaining what may be
expected of these states and Of the
leaders in the republican party in these
states This is mostly being done by
correspondence. Some personal inquiry
! has been made by volunteers ana
| travellers Reports come from many
sources All possible information is
welcomed No formal committee has
! been placed in charge as yet. Really
there is small need of one. AS in most
! other instances where Iowa people get
! back of an Iowa candidate in earnest
! the volunteer work is what counts. and
rc!-..cc-s arc riecty And so. in one
way or another, a vast amount OF in
| teresting and encouraging information
! is being accumulated and only be-
1 ginning has been made.
: There has been no change in the gen
! eral situation as between the Iowa SEN
ator and other possible candidates.
| There was. from the very first, work
| ing understanding as between him and
most OF the others. No effort has been
made to effect a closure. The field is
open. But all thru the midland region
/ and the west there Is evident, as soon
as little skimming Of the surface
| has been done. desire to have this re-
| gion unite upon an available candi-
| date.
The outlook for having an Iowa can
! didate, and president, is therefore bet
ter today than ever before.
Some inquiry has been made as to
why il was not possible to have In
Guided in the Official Register for the
current period the result of the cen
sus count in Iowa The fact is that
the completion of the count and com
pilation on Iowa census figures will not
be accomplished for some time as yet
Ten years ago the work was not done
until later This Is largely due to the
mperfection of the work in the first
place and the necessity for sending
back to the counties to secure correc-
tons in such large number Of in
stances Now, the Official Register re-
Gently printed, was to have been com.
pleted long ago, in fact should have
been ready for distribution last spring
and is therefore Of date long prior tt
; any possible completion of the cen
sus figures.
