Des Moines, Dec. 2.-Senator A. B.
Cummins will soon be put before the
republican voters of Minnesota by q
solidly organized Cummins association,
built up to work as the Iowa Cummins
Association is working. The organi-
zation in Minnesota was definitely
vices received at noon by Charles A.
Rawson, who returned yesterday
morning from several days in Mime
apolis and ST. Paul. Mr.. Rawson was
accompanied by L. G.. Kurtz and How
ard j. Clark.
For the present the names of the
leaders in the Cummins movement in
Minnesota can not be divulged, accord
ing to the Iowa scouts as they wish
to make their own announcements in
their own states before information
comes back to the voters there from
outside.
Mr.. Rawson said yesterday that his
mission had been quite satisfactory
and that the men secured to lead the
organization there were those whose
political power was generally recog-
niZed. They are now visiting the other
prominent republicans Of both factions
in the Twin Cities and thruout the
state and will be ready to announce,
their plans within probably a week.
The situation is shaping itself along
lines particularly encouraging to the
Cummins supporters. The Root organs
cation in Minnesota had been oper-
ating for several weeks, but during the
past two weeks has seemed to be los
ing strength to the supporters of JUS
fee Hughes, in spite of his announce
ment that he will not BE a candidate
and his request that his name be re-
moved from the primary ballot in Ne
braksa.
It developed at the state house to-
day that the poll books from Wash
ington county which were used here
last winter in the election contest can
yass made by the senate committee
have been lost They are not around
the state house and the Washington
county officials are unable to locate
them. When the committee from the
senate canvassed the vote in the con-
test between F. S, Ffndley and John
S. Lindiey to determine who had re-
ceived the majority votes for state
senator, they sent for these books. The,
contest was decided in favor Of Lind
ley.
