Turbulent Iowa GOP clashes over Cummins alliance and tariff debates
A long, critical examination of Iowa Republican factionalism centers on Governor Cummins and the tariff policy. The Des Moines Leader and other stalwart papers battle with anti Cummins factions, accusing rivals of railroad domination and exposing political machinations. The piece recounts episodes at the state convention, congressional defections, and internal press clashes, highlighting tensions between Cummins supporters, Hull, Blythe, and allied editors while noting suppressed disclosures and upcoming primaries. It ends with a street notice about Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
