He rendered most use- ul service to the nation during a public areer which for length ha srsrcely a parallel In the history of the Unlti-d States. He was a calm, contemplative man and for many years his rounet hat been more generally sought than that of any other man In public life. Had he lived to the end of the term which he wss holding at the time of his death he would have served his state thlrty-slx years In the senate. 'He entered congress In tho middle of the civil war and hla Influence has been felt all Important legislation of the last forty-five years. His desth will be lsmented everywhere, but nowhere so profoundly as among the people of Iowa." Governor Cummins refused to make any formal statement regarding his candidacy to succeed Senator Allison, beyond the dec- srstlon that he would make an effort to be selected. It was suggested to the governor that If he should resign the appointive power would vest In Lieutenant Governor Warren Oarst of Iowa. Thla Intimation that he might become the Junior senator of his state brought no response from the governor. The governor made it plain that he be lieves his friends regard him a the logical successor of Senator Allison. He declared that Senator Allison had defeated him In the recent primary election by a com paratively slender majority and for this reason he thought that his candidacy would be received with favor In his state. He Intimated that a majority of the members of the leglslsture which Is to elect a sen ator for the term beginning March 4. 1909, are friendly to him and he was outspoken n his hope that these men will vote for him. , DES MOINES, Aug. 5. In the absence of Governor Cummins, his friends here have been speculating as to whether he would appoint someone to fill the vacancy caused by Senator Allison's death, call an extra session, or resign to be appointed by Lieu tenant Governor Garat, who would succeed him as governor. It Is believed In Des Moines that the statement by the governor at Lake Forest, 111., that he will appoint someone to fill the vacancy Is final. Two names have been mentioned In connection with the appointment former Governor William Larrabee and former State Sena tor A. B. Funk. ' Senator Allison defeated Governor Cum mins In the republican primary election on June 2 by about 10,000 majority In a vote of 200,000. This made certain the re-election of Mr. Allison for a seventh term next winter. His death renews the fight for his seat, but transfers It from the primary ballot to the legislative caucus.
