l4-JJMMINS' POPULARITY
GROWING RAPIDLY

That sentiment among Montana
Republicans is crystalizing in favor
of nominating Albert B. Cummins
for president is growing more and
more evident each day from the
mass OF letters received at the Cum
ms Headquarters in Helena. These
letters are coming from every sec
ton of the state, representing all
shades OF opinion held by progress
ives and stand patters, and without
exception express the hope OF unit
ing the party on the eminent Iowa
statesman as the republican stand
ard bearer in the coming campaign.
Through the stacks of correspon-
slence shown to press representa-
tive by O. M. Harvey, chairman of
the committee, runs an optimistic
tone of belief that Cummins was
the most available man of the coun-
try whom all republicans, regard
less of past factional differences,
could support without apology or
surrender of political ideals, and
whose nomination would give the
reunited party leadership that
woald restore it to supremacy and
power in November. Letters from
standpatters and progressives alike
were agreed on this point and en-
phasize it strongly.
Selecting at random a few of the
letters on file at the Cummins head
quarters, one reads:
"<Cummins is man of great men
tai force, of keen and we'll disciplin-
ed intellect, having had abundant
experience with men and public at
fairs, and is student and worker.

Willard broke his right hand in
the third round, but blows from his
fighting left kept Moran at a dis

third, and his worst probably was
the seventh. He was bleeding after
the fifth round and his left eye was
closed at the end.
Willard Was rushed to the ropes
in the third and received blow after

a Knockout but the finishing punch
was lacking.
Moran put up game fight. Most
of the time he crouched and forced

capacity to take punishment. Moran
scowled as he fought, but Willard

Miss Elizabeth Tiffany Blair, former
ly of Taunton, Mass. When DR..

partment store. She was 10 and the
doctor was 35 when they were intro
duced IL years ago. Mrs. Mohu is
tall and of medium weight with black
hair and eyes. She is said to have a
very emotional nature.
Closely connected with the prisci-
pals in the tragedy are two other wo-
men. Miss Emily G. Burger, who was
seriously wounded at the time Of the
murder, and Miss Florence Ormsby,
who succeeded Miss Burger as DR..
Mohr's secretary. Miss Burger is 2s,
