In the city of Davenport three of the six wards went for Cummins and three are contested. As Cummins has the most uncontested delegates there is no doubt of the Cum mins delegates being seated from the contested wards. Several of the coun try townships have not yet held their caucuses. The face of the returns show 9:1 for Cummins. 1C for Perkins and over 50 contested. The Perkins people have made the statement today that with a square deal they would have carried the county with a good majority.
