citation to my friends in Iowa for their

Senator Cummins was first elected
to the Senate in November, 1908, TO
fill a vacancy caused by the death Of
Senator Allison, and he has been re-
elected continuously until now. He
served eight years as Governor of
Iowa before coming to the Senate.
BroOkhart in earlier years was a
lieutenant of Cummins in Iowa poll
tics. He broke with Senator Cum
minis after the latter sponsored the
Esch Cummins transportation act.
The Democrats are looking hope
fully toward the election in Novem-
ber. 1t appears that Claude r. Porter
has been nominated for the Senate
and will oppose Col. Brookhart. Mr..
Porter was an assistant attorney gen

Trade Commission during the Wilson
administration. He is a dry. The

Premier Averescu, presumably con-

Experts estimate that the amount

500 ,000.0 900, most of which amount
the government presumably would be
prepared to accept in supplies and

Similar negotiations were taken up
last Autumn with former Finance

cause the government was unwilling
to give adequate security for the loan.

as a distinct victory by the inner
circle and by the regular Republicans
of Iowa. His defeat will be hailed by
the opponents of the administration
as the severest blow which it has yet
sustained at the polls. Senator Nc
kinley was defeated in Illinois largely
on the World Court issue, though the
resentment of the farmers of that
State also played it's part. Senator
Pepper, another strong administration
Senator, lost in Pennsylvania because
of the resentment of the people against

it resulted in the victory of a man

Pr0gressives Rejoicing.

The report of the victory of Col.
Brookhart was a signal for rejoicing
among the members of the Progress
sive group In the Senate. 1t also
gave rise to speculation regarding
the presidential nomination by the
Republican national convention IN
1928. What will the farm states or
the West do in that convention II
the President is a candidate to sue
ceed himself. was the question asked.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, chair
man of the committee on agriculture,
and leader among the Progressives,
said Of the victory of Brookhart:
"The Progressive victory in Iowa
transcends by far the interest of any
particular candidate. 1t has no par
ticuar personal significance. 1t is an
outcry on behalf of the farmers OF the
West. 1t is a notice to the political
leadership Of the Republican party
that these farmers are not going to
follow blindly partisan leaders for
party's sake. 1t is declaration OF in
dependence and a demand for justice.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette, Jr..
of Wisconsin, said The people OF
Iowa have once more demonstrated
their firm allegiance to progressive
principles. They have given to the
ing Justice for the farmers and Is
insisting upon her inalienable right
to name her own representatives in
the Congress. This election is vim

public servant. His victory will be
a great announcement to all progress
sives in their fight to bring the Gov
ernment back to the people"
Regulars Are Distressed.
Members OF the regular Republican
organization expressed their distress
at the defeat of Senator Cummins.
What the regulars will do in the
election in November remains to be
seen, and no one would hazard a
guess at headquarters today. There
is an impression. however, that the
Republican national committee will
keep out of the fight and let the
voters of Iowa settle the matter their
