Iowa Progressives Back Cummins and Dolliver in Washington Meeting
Senators Cummins and Dolliver and the insurgent delegation at Washington were enthusiastically indorsed. The new tariff law was branded as a failure in light of the party pledge of 1908. President Taft received only a luke warm indorsement. A sop to harmony was flung out in the indorsement of the administration of Governor Carroll. An attempt to use the steam roller and make the State central committee overwhelmingly progressive was called off. Cummins was temporary chairman and Dolliver permanent chairman. The progressive majority ranged close to 300 on every question. The resolutions committee was progressive 6 to 5.
