Cummins Faces Challenge as Iowa Vote Looms
A Chicago Tribune survey notes Senator Albert B. Cummins has a solid Republican backing in Iowa. It flags a likely Cummins plurality around 50,000 to 100,000, with concerns over the Catholic issue and a strong push to unite the party behind him for 1916. Connolly support from Wilson administration and Bryan is acknowledged, while the Progressive bid under Schenk is seen as weak. Governor Clarke seeks re election on economy lines, and Des Moines capitol grounds purchase features in Democratic appeals.
