Washington. Dec. 29.-- Eastern re-
publican leaders are being forced grad
jually to recognize the fact that the
movement for the nomination OF Sena-
tor Cummins for the presidency Is
formidable, For d long time they
would not admit It. Neither would the
old guard republican papers Of the
east give a Sign that Cuinmins WAS one
OF the few men really ut the front In
the race.
That situation has been rapidly
changing Of late. No presidential prog
nost!cations are being INDUCED now by
the leaders In the east and by the
newspapers they control without
serious mention Of cnmmins.
In the last week, a decided impetus
has been given the Cummins boom by
the announcement that Root Is not a
candidate and that he Will not make
the primary race in Minnesota.
1t is widely recognized that this
probably means Minnesota will go to
Cummins. True. the Burton leaders
are going to contest the state against
the Iowa senator. But the fact Is one
element Of the conservative republi-
cans in Minnesota has favored Root
and another element, including the
Hill forces, has favored Burton. 1t Is
not to be expected the switch OF the
Root men over to Burton can be made
without costing the anti Cnmmins
forces some strength.
Burton's Scheme Goes Awry.
Furthermore, with Root out Of 1t. and
Burton getting the old guard support
Burton can no longer keep his pose OF
being more progressive than men like
Root or Weeks. The Burton aides
have been laying clever plans which
contemplated that Root would be
thoroughly lambasted as the candidate
OF the conservatives. With all eyes
directed to the fire. on Root, 1t was the
Burton plan TO get the country con-
WINGED that Burton was not one OF tho
reactlonaries butEa man OF progressive
only a little less progress
sive than Cummins and republicans Of
the cummins type.
The Burton plan ito "catchs 'en "a
comm and q -goin'" has thus been
sadly disturbed. II 10 we'll known to
be embarrassing and tfoublesdpse to
the Burton leaders. Thay DIP not spar-
ticuiarly care to hav6 Bdrt6n jumped
on, especially early In tlie ante-con-
vention campaign, as a-sreactionary.
Yet men close to Burton Know him for
an extremely conservative man, not at
all OF a progressive bend.
Cummins In Lead.,
II Cummins gets Minnesota, the I'm
petus given his campaign Will be great
He will In that event probably go into
~, AZ ir,,o
than any other candidate.
Just two other men there are who
In addition to Cummins. are close up
within reach OF the republican nomi-
nation. These two men are Roosevelt
and Hughes. Recent events have
made It look more and more ASH one
or the three would be nominated
Roosevelt IL willing to- support Cum
minis and would not fight Hughes but
he will fight man he coIiceives to be
reactionary.

old line fire insurance companies In re-
ducing rates on automobile fire insur-
snnce. q large number OF the companies
writing insurance on automobiles have
aled lower rates with the state insur-
ance department to take effect Jan. /.
The majority OF the companies have
reduced their rates on Are Insurance
for autos from S125 per $500 to 81 per
800. The rates on insurance from
theft have not been lowered and the
combined fire and theft rate IL the
same as II has been.
Commissioners English learned q
short time ago that some OF the large
insurance agencies had been boycott
ting insurance companies which had
filed low rates on auto insurance and
had been writing insurance In only
those companies which held to the
high rates. There was moro money In
this for the agents and 10 long as all OF
the agents In one community followed
this policy they were able to work 1t.
In many localities, however, agents did
not follow this practice and the result
was that the companies which had
filed the low rates wrote big bust
ness. The rival companies, evidently
realizing that rates must be cut to set
the business. have not only met the cut
made by the companies who iirst re-
duced rates but In some instances have
gone lower.
