THE OMAHA DAILY HE ft : SATUHDAV, NOVEMBER 7. 1009. CHANCES AT STATE HOUSE Cummim Expected to Retire Got ernor During the Month. NO HITCH IN THE 8E5AT0RSHIP fcewly Elected Learlslature Mora itronaly llepuollcun Thia Any Which Has Been Chosen for imhrr of Year. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. .-(Spclal.) Al ready the politicians of Iowa are looking-forward to the changes which will follow ss the result of the recent elec tion. The first step will be In less than thrte weeks, when the legislature will lect Governor Cummins to the senate ami. he will resign to be succeeded as governor by Warren Garst, the present lieutenant governor. The change will probably be effected all on one day. No vember 24, and Governor Cummins will become senator December 7, when con gress opens. It Is now proposed here In Ues Moines to have something of a cele bration on the day of the meeting of the legislature, when there will be rejoicing over the great victory for Taft and the entire republican ticket as well an re joicing over the reuniting of the repub lican party In the matter of the sena torial election. In view of the fact that all the repub licans elected to the legislature are un der pledge to elect Cummins senator there can now be no hitch In the pro gram. If the result had been close there might have been some controversy, but the majority of 40,000 or over has set tled the matter. Never before In the history of the state has there been such delay In securing tho returns. Even this afternoon some county auditors reported they could not give, complete returns from their coun ties. The ballot was much longer than usual and was much complicated. No change was made today In regard to the news from the congressional dis tricts. The only democrat elected was W. ' D. Jamleson In the Eighth. N. E. Kendall, in the Sixth, had only 232 ma jority In the district over Hamilton, dem ocrat. Chairman Franke of the republican state committee had really estimated tne Iowa : majority for Taft at 60,000 before election, but had refused to give out any estimate for publication. The estimate was not far wrong, as the ote for Taft will probably show a little' more than the figure given, with slightly less for the state, but even tonight the chairman did, not have complete returns. The Legislature. The legislature which meets In De Moines norft January will be more strongly repub- SCIENCE and ART If fml BEAUTY CULTURE LECTUR llcan by at least a half dozen than before for sever; sessions. The reports todsy tndlcste a net gain of seven on Joint ballot. The repuoncans gained thirteen members In the house end one In the senate.

It Is regarded as possible that the re publicans also got one In the house from Dubuaue. The surprise todny was the discovery that In Mahaska county, the home or Major Lacey. a democrat was elected to the sen ate over A. F. tf. Hambleton, by a small majority. Among those who lost out was David Brant, editor of the Iowa tuy Republican, who was a candidate for the senate, and was beaten by about 900. Sena tor Newberry of Clayton, one of the most popular of the republican senators, was defeated because of factional discord In his district. Senator Wade, democrat, and brother of Judge M. J. Wade of the national democratic committee, m beaten for the senate. Chairman Price of the democratic state committee and ex-Chairman Miller were both defeated for re-election to the house. E. J.

OMAHA . prug Uprtnnl TAFT SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE Next President Outline! Principles Which Will Guide Him REAL BASIS FOR PROSPERITY livery Hualneaa Enterprise Within the gotes May Proceed With oat Fear of Interference. CINCINNATI. Nov. ..Speaking to the Cliicinmttl Commercial club, of which he has been a member for fifteen years, Wil liam Howard Taft last night brought every member of the club to his feet In an ad dress sounding the keynote of prosperity for the country for the next four years. "Every business man who Is obeying the law may go ahvad with all the energy In his ' possession; every enterprise which Is within the statutes may proceed without fear of interference from the administra tion, when acting legally; but all Interests within the Jurisdiction of the federal gov. ernment may expect a rigid enforcement of the laws against dishonest methods," was the keynote of what Mr. Taft said. The speech which Mr. Taft delivered here tonight created a profound sensation among the substantial business men of the city who are members of the club which gave him the dinner, arranged long before the result of the election could bo known, and they arose as one man to the senti ments he expressed. The speech was pre ceded by words of friendship and neigh borly felicitation on the part of the dls tingulshed guest which brought out the human aide of the next president in a man ner most touching and responded to with the greatest enthusiasm. Human Interest Side. Judge Taft told In a way of which no one had written of, the human side of his campaign. "I have been the subject of a coterie of bosses," he declared with the greatest of good humor, "the duty to which left me nothing to do but to respond to the calls of the populace, and If I did not respond after one minute, the crowd made a mighty shout for 'Hurrah for Bryan.' " in beginning Mr. Taft admitted that It might not be so easy to smile tonight If the telegrams of congratulation which passed between Lincoln and Cincinnati today had bevn originated in this city- instead of the home of the great commoner. "Seriously," he declared, "the Indications are already apparent and the hopes which I entertain are that the business communf tles and the Investors of both foreign na tions and our own people will take heart In carrying out the great enterprises which must be carried to a determination If tho country is to reach Its full meed of pros perity. "Business men are to be shown the lines of legality and are to be directed in keep ing within those lines, which have been emphasized during the last four years. Business men shall know that they are to conform to the laws upon the statute books, and that no favors are to be ex pected for those who break the laws. "This shall be made so plain that the men who conduct a legitimate business may understand that the government la back of them, and does not intend to do anything to interfere with their legitimate advancement." Win Encourage Honest Progress. After the applause which met the declar ation had subsided. Judge Taft added: "It Is a question of the definite knowl edge of the statutes and of their clear un derstanding which shall make the honest progress of our business possible, and that in my nellef, all that Is necessary to Is. make that progress substantial and en. during." Judge Taft apologized for directing his words Into such a serious discussion. "I know the difficulties that will arise In my new care," Judge Taft added, "and I know that questions will arise that I don't know of now and that times wl 1 come when many of my friends here will shake their heads and say 'Poor Bill,' but all I ask Is for suspension of Judgment until the situa tion my be understood. The administration's decisions will rest upon the principles of sound and honest business policies which I have outlined." Clnb Immensely Pleased. What Judge Tart said preceding his plain business talk pleased the club Immensely. He told of the many policies which had been Indicated to him by the local commit teemen during the campaign, and then of the whole object of being president, which was to enforce the laws and give every honest endeavor a fair opportunity and to prosecute with vigor every apparent effort to evade the laws and effect prosperity by dlshonost business methods. The club, of which Judge Taft was the guest tonight was also his host at a dinner which he attended Just before leaving to be come governor of tho Philippines. The club entertained tonight members of similar or ganizations from Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. Iowa Nana Notes. LOGAN With Hon. O. D. Wheel oresld- lng, court convened here this morning.

REPORT ON JPUBLIC LANDS Commissioner llecoininenda With drawal of Certain Arid Areas from Entry. WASHINGTON, Nov. .-ln his annual report for the last fiscal year, Commis sioner Fred Dennett of the general land office recommends the withdrawal from entry of all public lands which may be Ir rigated which are not now capable of be ing utilized for homes. On that point he says: "The proper step to take would be to clusslfy the lands of the United States In order to ascertain what public lands (which In their present condition are Incapable of affording a home) are susceptible of Irri gation to a cost even much greater than that now entertained by the reclamation service, and to withdraw these lands from entry awaiting the time when they can, by Irrigation, be made homes under the Carey act. "It will be only a comparatively few years before an Irrigation project which will cost as high as 1200 an acre will be considered practicable, the market for the land Justifying such an expenditure. "No one can be hurt by such a with drawal, for desert land which can not be reclaimed by thel individual effort of a settler can never become a home until water Is brought to It by the government, state or by the expenditure of vast sums by private enterprise." Mr. Dennett says the land office has rec ommended thst suits be brought on timber land claims aggregating 1377,610. "There were secured," he adds, "234 In dictments for fraud, which resulted In sixty-three convictions and sixty acquittals, the remaining cases not yet having been tried. Two thousand eight hundred and eighty-five entries were cancelled because of adverse reports of special agents. By reason of Investigations there have been recovered from fraudulent entry during the fiscal year 1907-08 a total of 33.600 acres, exclusive of many relinquishments." The total receipts of the office for the year were $12,715,709, an Increase over tho previous year of Sl.l.',531. The total area of land originally entered during the year Is 19,09u.S06 acres, a de crease of 1,907,20(1 acres as compared with 1907. teenth and Farnam 8:9).
