albert b. cummins

albert baird cummins -lrb- february 15 , 1850july 30 , 1926 -rrb- was the 18th governor of iowa , u.s. senator and two-time presidential candidate .
cummins was perhaps the most influential leader in iowa politics in the first quarter of the 20th century .
however , for many years he was a polarizing figure , leading the iowa republican party 's progressive wing to power at the expense of its `` old guard '' of more conservative `` standpatters '' who had controlled the party almost since its inception .
shortly before his death , cummins was defeated by an even more progressive adversary within his own party .
