The net result of the canvassing of to day has been to maké the more confident and aggressive and to dis courage the opposition. The stecring com- mittea has heen In session all day confined {te work to n ing thorough in vestigation of the situation. No definite conclusfon has been reached as to a plan for Cummins’ defeat that meets the ap- proval ot the majority of the antl-Cummins | delegates. The committee will meet agaln tomorrow morning to iInterest Cumming s the Fight Center. The Ninth district has been the center of the conventlon tonight. Tho Cummins men of the district held a caucus and decided they would support Cummins without regard to instructions. They de- cided that they would give Cummins fifty- wix the first ballot and elght on the second This without any regard as to whether Herriott remains in the race. They will notity Herrfott In the morning of their determination, but are un- declded whether they will offer to support him for lieutenant governor and ask him to withdraw from the race for governor. They Justify thefr action on the ground that Her- riott has sacrificed his principles and mado a deal with his bitterest enemies to beat Cummins. They claim he got many of his votes on the theory that he would do noth- ing to injure the cause of Cummins, Lato tonight James Wilson, one ot Herrl- ott's managers, sald “Pressure has been brought to bear o get Herrlott to with- draw. He will not do it under any cfreum- stances. And he will not be a candidate for lleutenant governor." Wobb Byers of Harlan, leader of the Cum- mins men In the Ninth district, sald: “We control sixty votes In the Ninth district. We can vote them any time If we want 4o That is not saying we will do it.

After nearly an hour'd discussion the conclusion reached whs that the thirty-four votes should go to Herrlott, as per stipulation, unless he should lose thirty votes out of the Ninth district counties before Pottawattamie was reached. In case of such a loss the agree- meut to support Hegriott is to fall and seventeen votes go to Cummins, while the other seventeen are free to go where they please. This means that the agreement has been repudiated and that Cummins will | have halt the delegation, because more | than thirty have given notice of leaving Herrlott. Herrlott Nnth votes on s e CL K. St Sticks, At 12 o'clock tonight a long conference closed between a committee of Cummins men from the Ninth districs and Herrlott and the Guthrie county delegation, after which Mr. Herriott said: “I am still a candidate for governor." | He refused to make any further state- | ment or to discuss the propositions made to him, A state Cummins club was organized to- night with representatives from every dis- | trict of the state.

The steering committee, notwithstanding the falling away In Herriott's vote, wlill stick to Harriman and make its fight under his name. Chairman McMillan of the steering committee sald tonight that still felt confident. He claimed that the tactics pursued by the Cummins faction in forcing the break from Herriott would prove a boomerang that would cost Cum- mins more than he had gained. *“We shall certainly control the organization of the conventlon,” he sald. “There is no longer any doubt of that and the report of the committee on credentials will be sustained by the convention. After we have shown that we are in control of the convention we can agree on who shall be nominated." At 11 o'clock tonight the steering com- mitiee, becoming doubtful of its ability to win with Harriman, offered to give nomination ‘to Congressman John §. Lacey of the Sixth distrlct. The congressman reed to consider the proposition, but it I not “believed he will accept. All the congressmen and orators of the state have thus far held aloof from the fight. Sen- ator Dolliver refused to join in the fight against Cumming and Congressman Hop- burn has refused to lead the fight in the convention against Cummins. '™ Out of It, Chairman McMillan, of the steering com- mittee, denied positively at 11:30 p. m. that any tender of the gubernatorial nominati | bad been made by bis committee to Con- gressman L Nelther would it be of- fered to him. Mr. McMillan asserted: ““We ‘Mlll g0 before the convention with the | names of Harriman, Trewin'and Conger and | will make the best of all of them that we possibly can, and fn our opinlon we will down Cummins.

The platform, 1 belleve, will be conservative throughout and will net depart materially from the ordinary platform. Aside from the railway taxation matter I look for few or no deviations from the ordivary resolu- tlons.’ At midnight Herriott declared positively that he would not withdraw.
