CUMMINS' CANDIDACY
RESTS WITH MINNESOTA

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 29.-Min-
nesota has been selected as the battle
ground on which will be fought out
the issue between favored sons of the
west ambitious for the Republican
presidential nomination. Senator A.
B. Cummins, Iowa's candidate for the
honors, in a statement issued this
week, figuratively tossed the gage Of
battle on Gopher soil and announced
his willingness to rest his case with
the Minnesota primary scheduled for
March Ia of next year.
Cummins is confident that Mime
sofa voters will give him the prefer
ence over the other western entries.
In making his statement he said: -
II am perfectly willing to hazard
my chances on Minnesota. If l am
unable to win there I feel l may as
we'll give up"
r His managers figure that a victory
in the Gopher primary at that early
stage will give him a tremendous ad-
vantage in the elections held in
North Dakota, South Dakota, Wis
consin, Nebraska and Oregon.

amusing little anecdote in Illustration
of that characteristics:
"one evening"" says the count,
Lord Odo and were chatting about
Lord Salisbury's attitude toward his
personal appearance-not ill-natured-
ly, for It is doubtful which of US had
the greater admiration for the remark
able statesman in question-and Lord
Odo laughingly mentioned to me his
surprise when one day, after the din
ner bell Of the embassy had been rung,
he found Lord Salisbury, who was liv-
ing there, still busy at work In his
study.
He rushed out said the ambassa.
dor, and before had time to put
aside the papers on the table literally
in three minutes, was back again
ready for dinner. Now in that time
he could not even have washed his
hands, yet there he was in evening
clothesl ! could not help asking him
how he managed to dress so quickly.
"Oh, my dear Russell" he said, any
one can change his coat at once. and
had black trousers on already." 80
