?INS ANNOUNCES
HIS M CANDIDACY
Will Run for President if Iowa
Republicans Desire to Pre?
sent His Name.
BLOW TO LA FOLLETTE BOOL.
Senator's Announcement Fur?
ther Demoralizes Insurgent
Ranks in Washington-Effect
in His State Uncertain.
[From Ttou Tribun? Bureau.1
tVaehington, Jan. 2U.?The La Follette
boom?et received another serious aetback
to-day toy the announcement of Senator
Cummins- the Iowa Insurgent, that he is
? candidate for the Republican Presi?
dential nomination. The statement to
this etterr. which was given out after a
confer?*''"*' of the members of the Iowa
?delegation in the office of Senator Cura
tninf. caused only a small ripple on the
s_rface of the political pool, because it
had long b??en expected and because it
Is generally regarded, not as the launch?
ing of a real boom, but as a mere pre?
caution on the part of the Iowa Senator.
in order that he may be ready to take
advantage of political circumstance? in
??vhlch even' candidate but himself might
be clfjared from the field. Although it
<*o??s ) ? say so in so many words, the
tuatement conveys the intelligence that
he wtll b*? ready t.- take the nomination
<f Taft or Loosevek cannot get it. Sen?
ator Cummins says:
?*n much has be? r? published in the
new-spap-rs. so much written and said to
n,e co.?-'-erning the Presidential matter,
that I feel it to be my duty to make to
the K< publicans of Iowa a plain state?
ment upon the subject.
Immediately up??n my return from the
lr?ft Marion of Congress I gave out.
through the prei>s. my opinion with re?
spect to the Presidency. That opinion
re-main:- unaltered
fTh*> situation, however, has materially
cllangeci. and it now ?teem? probable that
rr-bre than two candidates for nomina?
tion will be seriously considered by the?
national conranttoo.
Under the-e condition*?, if the Republi
<aps of Iowa believe that I am a fit
man to te presented to the national
convention ar a candidate for the Presi?
dential nomination, and desire so to pre- >
?er.t me. i will appreciate and accept
their confidence as a most gratifying
evidence of their continued faith In my
pi-rp? *-?' tc MTV? as best I can the gen?
eral welfare of the people.
First to Desert La Follette.
The immediate effect of the announce
mterit is the further sinking of the La
Pellette hopes. Senator Cummins is the
first of the insurgent group to desert the
"Wisconsin Senator openly, although sev?
eral others of his colleagues are ready t?-?
bolt as soon as occasion offers. The La
Follette lieutenants say that his cam?
paign will go on. but it is now in such
condition that whether it goes <m or
not it is no longer a factor in the pre
?onventlon struggle.
The political situation in Iowa, the en?
vironment in which Senator Cummlns's
Presidential hopes unfolded and to
which, for the present at least, they are
confined, was describ??d in The Tribune
last September? Senator Cummins was
then convinced that the La Toilette!
loom was ?fohemerai and that the Iowa
?i?legation could not be brought into Une
to support the Wisconsin Senator, while
he gave evidence of having himself been
no badly stung by the Presidential beta
a* to have lost all sense of proportion.
All but two of the members of the
Iowa delegation were present at the
'conference" with Senator Cummins.
One of these was Senator Kenyon, who,
although he had been reported as in?
dorsing the Cummins candidacy, said he
liad not made up his mind and wished
U **think It over." It is quite possible
that Senator Kenyon will decide it is
good policy to support Iowa's "favorite
son.'* on the ground that he would thus
gam a vantage point from which ho
could work successfully to obtain the
selection of delegates who would vote
for Mr. Taft as soon as it becomes obvi?
ous that Mr. Cummins is not in the run?
ning.
It has long been understood by ?Sen?
ator Cummins'* colleagues that, al?
though a nominal supporter of Senator
La Follette and a member of tne insur?
gent group which acknowledged his
leadership, he chafed under the whip of
the Senator from Wisconsin and cher?
ished the ambition of assuming the in
urgent leadership himself. To this end
he presented himself as a safe and sane
radical in the Senate, and, although sup?
porting Senator La Follette in public, in
Private made no effort to oonceal his
disapproval of the methods of the Wis?
consin patriot.
The demoralisation which has struck
the insurgent ranks was reflected par?
ticularly in the House, where the insur?
gents outnumber those in the Senate.
and where the so-called Progressives of
the rank and file discussed more freely
Iks candidates from the other wing of
the Capitol
"There is the devil to pay." commented '
0T)R of the House insurgent leaders, who]
t lewed with much alarm the disintegra
Uon of ?he hitherto sppare t cohesive
J?css of the La Follette forces. Some of
* ???"?'gents talked of the "stats
Pride" of iow-a, others deplored the ten?
dency of certain insurgents to seek the
Possible epoilB "after La Follette has
done all the work," and still others
viewed with genuine apprehension ths
disintegration of the insurgent army into
three distinct camps.
The Cummins candidacy may benefit
the Progressive movement; there Is now
no way t0 tell what the effect will be."
was the guarded and solemn observation
of Representative Norrls. who is under
stood to agree with some of his col?
leagues that there is "the devil to pay."
The Nebraska insurger- continued:
"But w*hen the Progressive movement
was organized It was agreed to support
Senator La Follette for the Presidency.
At the time suggestions were made that
several other Progressive leaders as?
sume the leadership, and these were de?
clined. At that time the chances for
success did not seem blight. But since
the La FoAette campaign and the sup?
port It has won have shown the possi?
bilities of the movement prospective
candidates are cropping up everywhere"
Representative Morris and other In?
surgents evidently felt many emotions
they did not dare express.
Members of the Iowa delegation in the
House made statements dwelling on the
sterling worth of Senator Cummins and
the "state pride" felt by Iowans. Rep?
resentative Good declared that the Cum?
mins announcement waa no surprise to
him. since the Senator's candidacy had
received favorable consideration from
various factions of the party. Mr. Good
hopefully predicted that with Theodore
Roosevelt "a receptive candidate" and
with Senator La Follette an active can?
didate there might arise a condition In
Progressive ranks that would bring the
Progressives to favor the nomination of
Senator Cummins, "who has a good
chance to capture the nomination."
Worried Insurgents who favor the Wis?
consin patriot deplore the entry of later
candidates. In the opposition camp
there is the conviction that the I ?a Fol?
lette candidacy, owing to the extreme
radicalism of La Follette, has demon?
strated its futility, and that Senator
Cummins, who professes to be "not so
radical." Is thereby led to cherish vain
hopes for himself.
If the wry faces of the House Insur?
gents are any indication, however, there
Is confusion in the Insurgent ranks, and
the flank movement of the Iowa Senator
will confound rather than aid the dis?
agreeing and retreating Insurgents.
De? Meines, Iowa, Jan. 20? "I cannot ace
at the present time where Senator Cum?
mins.? announcement as a candidate for
Prnsidrnt ?HI help matters In Iowa polities
But of eoutrSS, it is too early to ?ay what
the result will be."
This was the only comment Governor B
F. (?arrr.ll wotnd make regarding the <um
mlns candida- y. Iowa Republicans here
to-day seemed to be more Interested in
what the effeet of the announcement would
be on the Iowa situation, rather than In a
national sense. While some of them were
of the opinion that aSenator Cummins would
have no difficulty In obtaining the **oppOfi
ef the state convention at Cedar Rapids
on April '?4. others thoug-ht it would h?
Impossible for him to get the delegates of
all the eleven ?*on?re.?9 districts at the
national convention.
The Iowa State Travelling Men's Asso?
ciation waa the first organization to in?
dorse the candidacy of Senator Cummin?.
At Its meeting to-day re^oltrtions Indorsing
the Senator for th? highest ornee in the gift
of the people were adopted. The r*?*olii
tions followed the receipt of a telegram
from the Senator, who sent greetings. The
travelling meu t?l?graphe?! the ?esult of
their action to him.
Parkersburg. Iowa, Jan "???-'?Iowa will
b? for Senator Cummins for President,
without a doubt." said C. T. Franke, chair
man of the Republican State l'entrai Com?
mittee, to-day. "To my mind Senator
Cummin* will be as strong a candidate aa
the Republicans can nominate (Ma year."
Omaha. Jan. 30 ?Concerning Senator Cum
mina's willingness to be a candidate for
President, Victor Rosewater, Republican
national committceman for Nebraska, said
to-day :
The announcement of Senator Cummins s
candidacy is in no way unexpected, as it
has been plain for some time hat La Fol
.ette was loelng ground and that the op?
ponents of Mr. Taft could no win on
the plan mapped out of centring behind I<a
Follette, and there were many signa fore?
shadowing a change of base by which a
number of favorite sons will he brought out
to make the fight one of the field against
Taft.
In so far as Nebraska is concerned if Sen?
ator Cummins's name la put on the Presi?
dential preference ballot ?and It takes only
twenty-five signati.re.a to a petition to do
this) he will rcscelve a good complimentai-.
vote. In fact, coming from the adjoining
state of Iowa, where many N'ebraskans
formerly lived. I would not be surprised if
he should poll as many votes as La Fol
letta.

Opening the Greatest Silk
Store in the World
We invite every woman in New York and vicinity to come to-morrow
morning, Monday, January Twenty-second, to our large WholeaSale
Store at Fourth Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street (directly opposite
the Metropolitan Life Building), where we will show and offer for
sale the largest collection of fashionable silks ever displayed und?er
one roof, at prices hitherto unknown to the ret.ail customer.
THIS will mark the ?opening, not alone of the
greatest silk store in the world, but the only
store where you may buy silks of absolutely
dependable quality and unquestioned style author?
ity direct from the manu facturer, at prices which
transfer the middleman's profit t?? your pocket
hook.
A?, you are doubtless aware, many of the
choicest silks sold you in the past have been of our
manufacture, hut you have never been able to see
in any one store more than a mere fraction of our
extensive range of beautiful silks brought out each
season, \\> are proud of our silks: we know their
quality? we know- their style authority. Now we
want more unmen tn wear nur silks and propose to
make it an oh j cet for them to do so.
?Beyond this we realize that as New York goes
in matters of" fashion. s<> goes Am?rica. We are
justly desirous of popularizing our sills in New
York City as soon as possihlc after their produc?
tion by us, and therein,- speeding their sale with
our retail connections throughout the country.
From the outset of our career, as makers of
silks, we have cultivated the intelligence, taste,
judgment and discrimination of women. Our silks
have steadily won their faith, hut only by sustained
merit. Hut up to now we have only been manu?
facturers and wholesalers?nc\er retailers.
\Yc have thus heen kept apart at a distance
from you the wearer, We intend to get in touch.
We want to meet you face to face. We want t?> <1?>
for you in price what we have done for you in
quality.
There are many women here in New York who
Mould like more silk gowns than they now have if
the price of worthy silks of fashion was more within
their reach. For these reasons we have taken this
bold and radical step, which will mark a revolution
in silk selling methods in New York City. It means
that the continuous product of five silk mills, em?
bracing every desirable silk demanded by fashion,
will be offered to the women of New York City by
the makers direct from one thousand five hundred
looms.
We quote no prices in this announcement be?
cause our silks will not be sold on the time-worn
"marked down" or "former value" basis.
Did you ever stop to think that present value
is the only real value? .
We know how much the average woman appre?
ciates the opportunity of going to a wholesale store,
seeing a wholesale stock and buying at wholesale
prices.
So we arc inviting you to come and enjoy just
such an opportunity. Are we unreasonable in ex?
pecting a tremendous response to this unusual in
\ itationf
This 'Mills to Consumer" Silk Store is accessi?

It matters not where a store is located so long
as it is reasonably accessible; if that store appeals
to the intelligence of the people; if it gives what it
claims to give; if its service is complete and faith?
ful. Such a store we promise you.
