DAILY BEE: TTITTRSDAY,
PRIMARY CANVASS HELD IP
Contest in Seventh District Delays Be
port on Dallas and Polk Counties.
INTERFERES WITH CONVENTION
likely that Result Cannot Be C-rra
tilled l at Dnto on Which Repuh
lieana Are Called to Meet and
Adjournment Bo Necessary.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PE9 MOINES. June 16 (Special.) Tho
executive council today practically . con
cluded the canvass of the votes of the
recent primary election, with the exception
of Pallas and Polk counties, which are riot
yet In. Dallas county returns are. held up
by the application of Congressman Hull
for an Injunction to prevent the recount of
the votes of that county on congressman.
Tolk county returns are held back by the
fact that the supervisors have nr.t yet con
cluded the canvass of tho returns. The
court In Dallas county has set Friday for
the date on which to hear the application
for an injunction there and this may tie
the matter up with the courts Indefinitely.
There Is some question as to what will
be the result In these counties Saturday
on the county conventions. The state con
ventions of next week are also Involved.
The primary election law provides that tha
executive council after canvassing the re
turns shall certify to the chairmen of the
county central committees and to the audi
tor in each county the results on the vari
ous offices. Until the officials of the county
conventions have these returns they cannot
legally proceed with the business of the
convention in casea where there Is douf)t
as to the result or a tie. This does not
rise to mieh Importance In the county con
ventions, for the results will be known so
far as the county convention needs to know
In every case except , possibly Dallas
county, where the vote on auditor Is tied
up.
But the council cannot certify the returns
to the state central committee chairmen till
all the counties are In and there is every
possibility that they will not be all In by
next week, when the republican convention
Is to be held. It Is quite likely that the
conventions will have to do what business
they can and then adjourn till a later date.
Cnmmlna Refuses to Talk.
Governor A. B. Cummins was today told
of the Information in the Associated Press
and special dispatches from Chicago to the
effect that his name waa being prominently
mentioned for vice president, and was told
of the Interview given out by Senator
Borah. He absolutely refused to eay a
word In regard to the matter.
It Is believed by Governor Cummins'
friends here that Governor Cummins does
not desire to be nominated for vice preal
dent, but will accept If It Is given him. The
governor and all his friends expect to see
him go to the senate, and do not take the
results of the recent primary election as at
all final In the matter except for this time.
They will do nothing to prevent the elec
tion of Senator Allison next January, and
will lend their efforts to his election, but if
there la a vacancy either In Dolllver'a or
Allison's seat they .expect the governor to
fill It. '
If the governor is elected vice president
and there should be a vacancy In the sen
ate from this state, they see nothing to
hinder Cummins being a candidate for the
position, and for that reason are not averse
to Cummins going to the chair of vice
prealdent, though there la nq denying that
they would rather aee Dolllver elected vice
president and see Cummins fll! his position.
In any event. It Is not believed here that
the legislature In Iowa. Is endangered by
any action. Standpatters will not vote for
the democratic candidates for the legisla
ture, aa this would endanger Allison's seat,
and the Cummins men will not, as It
would endanger Cummins succeeding Alli
son. So tar as factional affairs are con
cerned, the policies of Iowa could never be
In a better situation to Insure the continu
ance of a republican majority In the Iowa
legislature than they are right now, and
shrewd politicians do notNbelleve that any
action the national convention can take on
vice president will change the situation In
the least.
Dedicates Drake Library.
Hon. T. 8. Shonts delivered the dedicatory
address at the ceremony which opened tha
new Drake University Carnegie library to
the public today. Mr. Shonts la a member
of the Board of Trustees of the university
and in his address reviewed the history of
the school and dwelt considerably upon the
greatness of Iowa.
Crop Conditions Hot Good.
The weekly crop bulletin Issued today by
the government bureau here states that the
crop conditions of Iowa have not greatly
Improved. In the northeastern rart of the
state there was little rain the last week,
but in the southern half the rain waa above
the normal again and farm work has not
progressed very rapidly. Where corn cul-
Ivatlon has been possible most of it has
been cultivated once or twice. The corn
acreage will be considerably less because
of many fields having to be abandoned,
though It will probably be as great as last
yar. The cool weather haa been beneficial
to small grain and hay, though it wilt go
mostly to stalk unless1 there Is less wet
weather from this on. Cherries are ripe
and In the northern part of the atate will
be a big crop and In the southern part light.

Prominent Elka Drowned.
BURLINGTON, Ia., June 17.-The second
