Cummins calls special session to settle senatorial contest
Des Moines August 26 Nearly a thousand Republicans met to quell factional strife. Governor Cummins announced a special session to amend the state primary law so Republican voters may choose the senatorial successor at the November election rather than a legislative caucus. The move aims for party harmony with the day set for convening August 31. Wade H. Ellis may become assistant to the attorney general. Taft and North Dakota leaders anticipate little change in electoral votes amid broader regional considerations.
