EXPECTS WEEK WILL SEE HIM IN LEAD Legislative ' lasaranre Commission '. Es peels to Commence Hearings the Latter Part of Kezt Week. ! (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. May 24. (Bpeciftl Tele gram.) Ite reports from the caucuses In Johnson tnd Iowa counties tonight received j at Perkins' headquarters show that the I Cummins forces were snowed under In Johnson. Perking carried all the wards In Iowa City and ouy one Cummins dtl.?- gate was elected from the city. Nine coun try precincts already heard from were all carried by Perkins, and out of 115 delegates to the county convention reported Perkins has 114. There are eleven country precincts to be heard from, but Perkins has a large majority of the county conventions ajready. In Iowa county Perkins has carried a ma jority of the delegates to the county con vention, according to last reports. This takes thirty-one delegates from the Cum mins column In 1901 and makes thirty-seven delegates out of the Second district already selected .against Cummins. The Perkins people are rejoicing over the victory and believe that they will make a clean sweep of the conventions and cau cuses to be held the latter part of the week. They estimate tonight that the week will add Xi to the number of anti-Cummins delegates already chosen. If these figures are correct the antl-Cummlns strength by Saturday night will number 770 delegates, thus leaving the governor far in the rear. Insurance Commlssloa Busy.
