Senator Cummins' Victory.

United States Senator Albert Baird
Cummins of Iowa last week emerged
triumphant from n very interesting ana
hotly contested primary campaign tor
denomination ut the hands Of the Repub-
hcan voters of his State. This polItlcai
incident is somewhat significant ana Oh
more than ordinary interest.
During the consideration oil railfoao
legislation at the recent session OIL tue
Congress. Senator Cummins was an ardent
advocate of provisions in the law TO make
strikes by railroad employees Illegal on
account of the large interests OF the en'fe
people in complete and uninterrupted
railroad TRANSPORTATION service, For MS
activity in this cause he incurred tie
en,nitv of organized labor interests, es-
pccially the railroad employees. Ana as
Iowa is a State in which there are many
of this class of labor, the opposition prom
lsed to be formidable. Senator Cumfh'hS
was opposed by n candidate OF prominence
and standing. to whom the forces ol or

solid support.
The result, however, was the rehoi'iiiia'
tion of Senator Cummlns by very
comfortable majority Of about Z''oo'
1t is apparent, however. the orelmzeo
labor opposition was either negligible
element of the campaign, or was MOI
cxcrted against Senator Cummns 70 'h'
