GOV. CUMMINS
WINS IN IOWA
Nominated for Re-Election by Re
publican State Convention
on f irst Ballot.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Dos Moines, la.. Aug. 2- Gov. Cum
min'. was renominated for governor by
the Republican state convention on the
first ballot.
Harmony in the party was restored
in >pite of the acrimonious disputes
j over contested delegations, and the
IVrkins faction agreed to support the
ticket. 'President Roosevelt is eulo
gi ed in the platform and a declara
tion on tariff revision was adopted
which was partially satisfactory to
both elements.
Cummins Delegates Seated
Moines. Iowa, August 1 The
committee on credentials of the Re
publican state convention completed
it.s labors at midnight, after a bitter
tight between contesting delegations
favorable to Gov. Cummins and those
representing the “ Standpatters,
headed by Ex-Congressman George D.
IVrkins.' The report of the committee
seats enough delegates to insure the
re-nomination of Governor v ununins
today, and his opponent, Perkins, will
probably withdraw his name.
Fight Grows Bitter
Dos Moines, la., July 21 The Re
publican party of Iowa is split wide
open over the contest for governor be
tween Gov. Cummins and Ex-Congress
man George D. Perkins, lhe feeling
is extremely bitter and as there are
numerous contests over county delega
tions the nomination is likely to hinge
upon the decision of contests and it is
believed now that there will be two
tickets in the field.
Gov. Cummins represents the “Iowa
idee” of tariff revision, which is strong
in this state, while Perkins has been
put forward by the “Standpatters” to
defeat Cummins. He has the sympa
thy of Secretary Shaw, Senators Alli
son and Dolliver, and a majority of the
congressional delegation. Cummins
has an apparent majority of the con
| vent>on.
FRANK E. YOUNGS SAYS
SHOUP NAMED MURANE
Feared To Run Because Told South
eastern Alaska Man Would
not Be Acceptable.
The nomination of D. Murane of
Nome for delegate to congress by the
Republican territorial convention was
accomplished by Marshal Shoup, who
controlled the convention but feared to
make the race himself because of the
assurances he received from various
quarters that a candidate from South
eastern Alaska would not run well
elsewhere in the territory.
This statement sent out in the press
dispatches at the time is confirmed by
Frank K. Youngs of Sewaad, who was
a candidate for the nomination. Mr.
Youngs returned home on the Oregon
in a pleasant mood. “They put me on
the territorial committee as a .soj« to
my feelings.” said Mr. Youngs cheer
fully. “and l promised to do what I
could. After the nomination the news
paper tneq asked me what I was going
to do and I told them simply that I was
a Republican.
“The press dispatches got mixed
when they sent out the statement that
I had said I could deliver 1200 votes.
What I did say was that there are
1200 votes in Kenai and Cook Inlet
precincts, of which a large number
are undoubtedly Republican. I did
not claim to carry the vote in my
j pocket.”
To establish control of the conven
tion. according to Mr. Youngs ac
count. the Shoup men threw out Dick
Ryan’s delegation of 44 from the
Second district and seated the Murane
men. They also threw out 22 proxies
{ which had been given to Y'oungs from
various precincts, leaving him only 3
votes from Seward. This left the con
vention absolutely in Shoup’s control,
but the assurance he was given that a
Southeastern Alaska man would not
Ik* acceptable to the remainder of the
fact that the First district now has
nearly everything else, induced him to
withdraw. He was particularly in
censed at Y'oungs and Ryan however,
because they told him that he could
not expect strong support in their dis
trict ^ and therefore named Murane as
an unpalatable dose to Ryan.
Had the Y'oungs and Ryan votes
l»een admitted they would have con
trolled the convention. They had 69
votes between them and the conven
tion contained only 130 delegates, as
the Tanana was not represented. The
69 votes would therefore have been a
majority and would have nominated
Y'oungs for the short term and Ryan
for the long term.
Mr. Y'oungs speaks pleasantly of
Judge Murane, the nominee.
SUCCESSOR TO
JUDGE HILDRETH
Col. L. S. Howlett Appointed
United States Commissioner
for Kenai District.
Col. L. S. Howlett, for many years
a resident of North Yakaraa, Wash
ington, arrived on the Oregon yester
day to succeed .fudge Hildreth as Uni
ted States commissioner. His appoint
ment was made by.fudge Wickersham
several weeks ago.
There are two versions of the causes
that led to the change in the commis
sionership. Judge Hildreth himself
has told his friends for some time that
he intended to resign and devote his
attention to his mining interests. The
other version is that a group of busi
ness men for whom Judge Hildreth
acted as agent in the sale of Mata
nuska coal claims in the early part of
last year were dissatisfied with his
dealings. They laid the case before
Judge Wickersham, who gave it a full
investigation and promised them that
he would appoint a successor to Judge
Hildreth immediately on his return
from Washington.
Their next step, they say, will be
the commencement of legal action to
enjoin further payment on the coal
claims, and to demand an accounting.
If necessary, they declare that they
will carry the case to the interior de
partment.
Judge Hildreth maintains that his
actions in the coal negotiations were
straight and honorable from first to
last, and that the property fie sold was
not the property belonging to the
group fie represented.
The Gateway will later publish the
details of both sides of the case.
Col. Howlett, the new commissioner,
is a native of Massachusetts, but has
been a resident of the Pacific coast a
| quarter of a century. He was man
aging editor of the Portland Oregonian
during the Blaine campaign and has
been a frequent contributor to high
class periodicals. He was permanent
chairman of the republican state con
vention at Olympia in 18i>2. Of late
years lie has occupied the office of
United States commissioner at North
Yakima. His friends speak of him us
a man of ability and high character.
JUDGE HILDRETH SAYS
HIS RECORD IS OPEN
Late Commissioner Challenges Griti
cism of Official Conduct in
This Precinct.
Judge Hildreth, late commissioner of
Kenai precinct, challenges any attack
upon the conduct of the office during
his incumbency and says his record is
open to inspection and criticism from
any>soui*ce. He affirms that his resig
! nation was in the hands of Judge
Wickershain many months ago. ten
dered on account of his desire to de
vote hi> time to private interests, and
in evidence of the fact he cites a copy
of a letter to Judge Wickersham in his
letter press hook, dated November 22,
11105. In the letter Judge Hildreth
* says:
*‘I feel that I cannot hold the posi
tion of commissioner after the first of
the year, or as soon thereafter as you
can make another appointment. I can
! make more looking after my mining
properties and other business. In fact
1 have been offered a better position j
as far a* salary goes than the cornmis
sionership is paying.
“I sincerely appreciate what you
have done for me, and for the appoint
ment. and hope that I may be able to
show my appreciation in a more sub
stantial way than words at some future
time.” _
JUDGE NO LONGER COLONEL
Commissioner howlett Insists on Dis
carding Military Title
It is no longer “Col.” Howlett. The
military title went to the scrap heap
this morning when the new commis
sioner of Kenai precinct filed his oath
of office and official bond, and assumed
the more peaceful prefix of “Judge.”
The members of the Seward bar wish
to have it known that the fine for
usinj^the wrong title from this time
forward has been fixed by common
consent at $50, or thirty days in
Valdez, at the discretion of the culprit.
The incoming and retiring commis
sioners have discovered that they were
fellow workers on the Louisville Com
mercial twenty-five years ago, Judge
Howlett as raanagingeditor and Judge
Hildreth as a newsboy not yet in his
’teens. The Commercial was then as
now the leading Republican paper in
Kentucky.
Judge Howlett will continue the
office of the commissioner in the
Richards building.

PROSPECTING
FOR COPPER
- i
Three Different Parties Opening
lip Ledges on Eastern Side
of Resurrection Bay.
Three copper prospects are being !
opened up on Resurrection bay. The
work has proceeded quietly, though
i quite vigorously, and samples of the
ore brought to Seward would indicate
that the chances are favorable for
making producing mines in the near
future out of what are now little more
than surface indications.
These prospects are all located on
the eastern side of the bay, although
from copper Iloat found on the western
| shore it would appear that it also justi
| ties careful exploitation.
In the large gulch just across the
bay from Seward, about four miles in
land from the beach, Messrs. Rudolph,
Burchey and Simons have been work
ing since early spring on a ledge
which increases in size as the tunnel
proceeds. It carries a copper sul
phide ore. Mr. Rudolph was in town
a few days ago and to several
friends expressed himself as much
encouraged with the present showing.
The tunnel is now being driven with
the vein, but in a couple of weeks a
crosscut will be run to determine the
width of the ore body. Several min
ing men have approached the owners
with a view to bonding the property
but they have thus far refused to en
tertain any proposition, desiring to
cross cut the ledge in order to get a
more intelligent idea of the probable
value of their discovery.
Further down Resurrection bay, in
a little indenture known as Porcupine
bay, T. ,i. Harris and S. K. Likes have
found an immense deposit with copper
indications. An iron capping, it is
believed, hides the ore body proper
from view, and a shaft is being sunk in
the hope of reaching copper ore of
commercial value. Several business
| men of Seward are interested in this
prospect.
On Sunny bay, near the mouth of
Resurrection bay, P. E. Peterson is
running a tunnel into a ledge carrying
indications of copper.
It is the opinion of mining men who
have looked into the matter, that Ke
nai peninsula offers a tine opportunity
for the copper as well as gold pros
pector. Float ore aud quartz may be
found in all the creeks and gulches, in
dicating a mineralized belt of large
extent. _ _
According to reports of the l'. S.
geological survey the United States
exclusive of Alaska one year ago had
mines producing gold or silver,
of these 1T14 were placer and HK)5
deep mines.
