Cummins Enters Presidential Race Complicating GOP Field
Senator Albert B. Cummins of Town, a progressive Republican, declared his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. He said Iowa Republicans would decide if he is fit to be the Chicago convention nominee, a move that further complicated the factional contest among Taft backers, La Follette progressives, and other Republicans. Cummins, elected to the Senate in 1908 to fill Allison’s term and former governor, has long been a GOP insider.
