GOV. CUMMINS MAY
NOT BEJLECTED
DES MOINES, la—lt Is believed
by leaders that Governor Cummings
will not bo elected United States
senator to 1111 the unexpired term
of Senator Allison.
This appears to have been made
likely by the action of the Joint con
vention yesterday. Governor Cum
mings lacked an even dozen votes of
having a majority In the convention
and a nomination.
Tlieie were 155 members present
and voting, and to obtain election it
was necessary for Ihe governor to get
78 votes. He received t>6. None of
the “revoters" weakened and the dem
ocrats cast their entire vote for C. P.
Porter. The "revoters" say If Cum
mings carries the primary for Unit
ed Stales senator in November they
will offer no opposition to his-elec
lion by the legislature.
