Senator Cummins would in no Cir
cumstances permit his name to 20
before a convention in which seventy
two delegates whose right TO sit Col.
Roosevelt's friends had contested
would have a vote. Along with the
substance of this telegram came d
statement from Cummins adherents
that the Republican party had cut
its " throat and that nothing else
could come OF the situation but the
creation OF a third party. which meant
inevitable defeat for the Republican
candidate.
Along in September OF that year the
Senator declared that he would vote
for Col. Roosevelt but that he would
not leave the Republican party. In
saying that he would vote for Roose-
welt the Senator added:
But II must be understood that I
will do so protesting against the or
ganization OF a new party and dis
senting from some Of the doctrines
announced in his platform"
or far moro significance than his
action was his analysis of what had
brought about the nomination OF Pres
ident Taft in the face of what he and
other progressives considered the I'M
mistakable opposition OF the great
mass Of Republican voters.
We have had for years" he said. "a
false. vicious basis OF representation
in the national convention. through
which Alabama. Arkansas. Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi. South
Carolina. Texas and Virginia. States
that cast altogether in 1905 only 270.-
63l votes. had In the convention 2O4
delegates"
Having put his finger upon this
of d%issension and having in
addition refused to join the Bull Moose
throng. the Senator was in Il position
to take a very active part in the re-
casting OF the rules of his party. a
recasting designed to make impossible
in the future the situation that had
split the party in 1912. Early in 1913
he took part in a conference Of pro-
gressive members of the Republican
party at Chicago and the result was
the calling together of the Republican
National Committee and the framing
of a resolution providing for a basis
OF representation in future national
conventions that would make those
gatherings truly representative of the
voters.
When a state OF general dissatis-
faction exists the distemper in any
particular organization is usually con-
centrated on ono or two things, and so
It u with the Progressive party. In
It's present state OF mind II is the
treatment received by the Roosevelt
delegates at Chicago that sticks and
hurts. So the advocates OF reunion

tation did much to pave the way for

caus" the years granted TO him were
insufficient for his purpose.
He was born AT Carmichaels, Greene
county, Pa, on February Is, 1850.
He was educated up 10 a certain point
in the Carm!chael> schools and taen
went out TO Indiana as apprentice to
"A civil engineer. At ~ he Wa boss

and soon afterward was offered a
place as chief engineer of what Is now
the Santa te Railroad. lie had picked
mp Il knowledge of carpentering and a
great desire TO be a lawyer. While
on his way TO Denver To resume his
engineering labors he saw a chance
To study law. He dropped the en-
-ineering and worked as a carpenter
while he was studying law in Chi
cago. He was admitted to the bar
there in 1874 and four years later he
went TO Dies Moincs, Iowa.
II wasn't long before he was recog-
nized throughout the State as "A very
able lawyer, and he drifted naturally
into politics. In 1887 Iowa Republic
ans had a sudden accession Of virtue
and decided that nothing less than pro-
hibition would settle the liquor ques-
ton so far az they were concerned.
Cummins got into the fight as an adj
vocate OF local option and high license
as against prohibition. and Republican
boilers and Democrats elected him to
the General Assembly from Polk
county, He served but one term.
In 1892 he was a delegate t. the Ma
tional Republican Convention at st.
Louis, and n year later made his first
attempt TO reach the United States
Senate. II was fifteen years before he
finally got there, and meanwhile he
had been elected Governor of Iowa

the G~ubernatorial chair in that State
for more than two successive terms.

velopment of Cummins as an insur-

preferred TO he called, q progressive.
The people Of his State were just walk
ing up to the fact that the railroad
interests had become very powerful,
and he seized the opportunity TO make
himself a dominant political figure.
He fought the railroads during the
year he was in the Assembly. As Gov
ernor he bounced upon them and
guided on to the statute books a two
cent fare law, an anti-pass law, a pro-
vision limiting the hours OF labor for
railroad employees, a law preventing

IL Was his views on tariff reform hat
ed him into contests with both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and President Taft and
formed the background for some of the
hardest fights Of his political life.
When Cummins was nominated for
ne third time as Governor of Iowa
back in 1906 he prepared a statement
of principles for the State convention
which declared for tariff reform, thor
ough railroad reform. elimination of
corporate influence from politics and

announced with confidence that
whether he We're nominated or not the
1908 Republican platform would de-
clare unequ!vocally for tariff revision.
He was not nominated and with some
hesitation he declared he would sup
port Mr.. Taft.
Cummins was defeated as a candi-
date for the United States Senate in
1905 by Senator Allison. but when the
latter died he was chose to serve the
~uneXpired term. The Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. which President Taft signed
and afterward spoke Of In terms Of
highest praise, aroused Senator Cum
Minis. He denounced the President as
having failed TO live mp 10 his pre-elec-
ton promises m he denounced the
Republican leaders in Senate and
House rs having failed to fulfil their
platform pledges. Soon he began to
talk about a split in the party. He
was laughed at. He went about
preaching prosressivism and declaring
that the attitude Of the leaders must
change or the party would be rem
asundcr,
"The one we realize that this d.
vision in the ranks of the Republican
party is not ephemeral. the sooner we
appreciate that 1t Is n movement OF
the people, the sooner We will become
conscious of o great and everlasting
truth"
Those words were uttered in May,
1910. more than two years before the
division in the ranks of the Republican
party became SO wide that tho insur-
! gents broke away and held a conven-
I ton OF their own.
