Des Moines, Nov. 1S.--At the organi-
cation Of the Des Moines Cummins For
teal faith were represented. The chair
man of the meeting is dyed in the
wool standpatter; one of the three men
who provided the banquet without cost
to those in attendance is a democrat;
many in attendance have opposed Sen
ator Cummirs in some of his cam
paigns. But the spirit expressed was
that the middle west now has an OPP
portunity to put forward a candida te
for the high honor of president of the
United States who has a fair chance of
winning and regardless of past minor
differences local leaders at least are
determined to unite in an enthusiastic
support of Senator Cummins.
Gardiner Cowles, publisher Of the
Register and Leader, who together
with Congressman Good, of Cedar
Rapids, did some scouting among re-
publican leaders in the east, declared
that the east has no candidate to put
up. He said that George D. Roberts.
who is credited with knowing political
conditions thruout the country gen
orally, stated that Senator Cummins
should be candidate and that he had
la splendid chance of success.
Howard Clark declared that there
was a strong sentiment in all the mid
die western states for Cummins.
Harvey Ingham, editor of the Reg
lister and Leader, said 1t was high time
that the middle west develop a class
sentiment which would gain for it the
recognition it deserved. 1t was class
sentiment and spirit that had Won for
the east and for the south many nota :
BILE political victories.
The state board of control has
named Charles Sullivan, at present a

chased by the state for custodial

the farm to the best advantage posi-
Bile and will keep from twenty-five to
