WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. Senator
Cummins, ot Iowa. In a formal state
ment today, submitted hi candidacy
for the nomination for President on
tha Republican ticket to the voters of
bis home atate. lie says that If tha
voters of Iowa rreard him aa "a flt
man to ba presented to the National
convention aa a candidate." he will ap
preciate and accept their confidence.
Tha announcement, although not
wholly unexpected, waa the dominant
topic In political circles In Washington
today. It had been known that Sena
tor Cummins waa consulting with hia
adrlsers and with the members of the
Iowa delegation In Congress and that
ha would reach a conclusion aoon.
The effect on the Iowa atiuatlon Is
tha subject of much speculation. For
ona thing. It makes three factions In
the field In opposition to I'resldent
Taft. It la assumed for the present.
In view of a statement by his cam
paign manager here today, that La
'ollette wilt continue the fljrht to cap
ture the Iowa delegation. The other
faction consists of men who will sup
port Roosevelt, whether or not tha
Colonel la an avowed candidate,
rmul Aaavaareaaeat Made.
Senator Cummlna' statement. Issued
today, waa aa follows:
"So much haa been published In tha
newspaper, so much written and said
to ma concerning the Presidential mat
ter, that I feel It to be my duty to
make to tha Republicans of Iowa a
plain statement on tha subject.
"Immediately on my return from tha
last sestlon of Congress I ran out
through the press my opinion with re
spect to tha Presidency. That tpinlsa
remains unaltered.
"Tha situation, however, has mate
rially changed, and It now aenta prob
able that mora than two candidates for
the Domination will be seriously con
sidered by the National Convention.
"Under these conditions. If the Re
publicans of Iowa bcllere I am a flt
man to be presented to the National
Convention aa a candidate for tha Pres
idential nomination, and desire to so
present me. I will appreciate and accept
their confidence aa a most gratifying
evidence ot their continued faith In my
purpose to serve, at best I can. tha gen
eral welfare of the people."
La Follette Klafct la C Oav.
At tha "Progressive" Republican cam
paign headquarters here the declaration
waa made today by W. L. liouser. In
charge, that the fight for La Foiletta
would continue as If there were no
other "Progressive" Republican candl
datea on the horizon; that It was "Mr.
La Follette first, last and all the time."
In regard to the report from Denver
that a concerted movement was on foot
to bold a pre-conventlon meeting and
decide on one "Progresatve" candidate,
liouser aald he knew nothing of any
auch move. He could not see that any
conference of the sort was likely.
Senator La Follette'a only comment
when shown tha Cummlna statement
was:
"1 have nothing to ay."
Senator Cummlna called together all
tha Republican members of the Iowa
delegation In Congress who were In tha
city and read to them the statement an
nouncing his candidacy, which they ap
proved. Senator Kenyon, Cummlna' col
league In tha Senate, has not returned
from Chicago.
Tha Iowa delegation re-elected Rep
resentative Woods as member of the
Republican Congressional campaign
committee.

Discord Arises Between Presidential
and State Committees Colonel
May Be Openly Put For
ward as Candidate.
CHICAGO. Jan. 10. (Special.) Free
and unrestricted use of Theodore
Roosevelt's name In connection with
the Republican nomination for the
Presidency 1 reported to threaten a
break In the rank of the "progre
sivea" tn Illinois.
Since the opening of the 1 Toilette
Western headquarter In Chicago there
have been persistent rumor that all
- . hateMn tha man-
was II u k ii . i n.u.nvo - .
agers of the Presidential and state
campaigns. Senator Walter Clyde
Jones and his adviser did not declare
themselves on the Presidency until
about the time Senator La Follette vis
ited Illinois recently. Then they came
out for the Wisconsin man.
Even that, it Is said, did not bring
the two campaigns any closer together.
Some of Senator Jones' friend charge
he did not receive the consideration to
which he la entitled from the La Fol
lette committee.
It is alleged the state committee 1
In debt and that Its finances are at a
low ebb. while the National committee
has plenty of money, which It Is using
only for the benefit of Senator La Fol
lette. It Is from resentment at the attitude
of the Western branch of the La Fol
lette committee, are rumors which are
afloat, that Senator Jonea and his
friends are said to be turning toward
Roosevelt as the National leader. This
sentiment has been growing. It Is re
ported, among those progressives who
are interested In the success of the
state candidates. - and it Is likely to
reach a climax at the convention of the
next week.
Leaders on both sides of the contro
versy are bending all energies toward
lnn- - hrsalr hut at each of the
headquarters today the Information I
waa given out that the state conven- '

Pittsburg Paper Again Urges Candi
dacy on Editorial Pajre.
PITTSBURG. Jan. 20. The Pittsburg j
Leader, which four months ago, at the
request of Theodore Roosevelt, ellml- '
nated his name from Its editorial page
as Its candidate for the Presidency,
today restored the name with the
statement that It advocated his nomi
nation. At the time Colonel Roosevelt asked
the removal of his name he said he
would consider it a calamity If his
friends made him a candidate. The
Leader complied with the request, an
nouncing It would respect Colonel
Roosevelt's personal desires.
While no revocation of the request is
announced, the Leader declares the
name will remain, at least until after
the Republican nomination, as the Issue
is greater than the desires of any Individual.

"Out of the fullness of the heart the
mouth speaketh," and well might it
have been said, "Out of the emptiness
of the mouth the eyes weepeth. How
many times Is the sunshine In the
heart eclipsed by an ugly mouth and
obnoxious teeth? There la nothing that
exerts so strong and extensive an In
fluence for good aa a broad, generous
and wholesome smile. "Laugh and the
world laughs with you, weep and you
weep alone," but it is not such an easy
matter to laugh when It brings to light
a row of crooked and snaggy teeth.
And ofttlmes the human face, which
should be the outlet of noble, happy
thoughts and impulses to the world
round about us, becomes the dumping
station of frowns and wrinkles.
Buv yourself some pretty teeth and
do not be afraid to smile and give forth
to those who live with you and about
you your own good thoughts and cheer
fulness. And when you buy teeth, buy
the best. There is as much difference
between Alveolar Teeth and the ordi
nary brldgework done by the ordinary
dentist as there is between right and
wrong.
"Teeth is teeth" whan they are. but
In most cases they are not. That is.
you ouy teein wun an guu ah.h, ik
and trustfulness of your nature and
you pav a fair price, but that does not
cover the defects nor stem the tide of
your indignation when you discover
some few months hence the indisput
able sign of unearned wear and quick
demise. Teeth of unknown or undesir
able quality are generally unworthy
your attention, which same you most
frequently discover after the bill has
been paid. It Is better to buy good
teeth once than to buy cheap teeth 10
times over. You take no chance wltn
ALVEOLAR TEETH. They are guar
anteed to stand you and withstand you
as long as you live. They are beauti
ful, lifelike, serviceable and everlast
ing. We will gladly refer you to hun
dreds in this city alone, who will com
mend them to you.
There can be no better proof of the
desirability of a thing than the com
mendation of those who have tried it.
We have treated something like five
thousand people in our Portland and
Seattle offices, and we are confident
that nearly If not every single one will
say, if asked, that the work is entirely
satisfactory in every way and far ex
ceeded their expectations. We can re
fer to at least four hnndred people
whom we have actually and unquestion
ably cured of Pyorrhea tlooae teeth).
Alveolar Teeth Whrre Brldgework Is
lmponaible.
If only your front teeth are left, say
three or four or more, we can replace
all those that have been lost on both
sides clear back, with perfect Alveolar
teeth, whilst brldgework would be
impossioie, even u yuu iictu eigni ur
ten front teeth to tie to. If you have
only two back teeth on each side, say
molars, we can supply all the front
teeth that are missing with beautiful,
serviceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth. This
could not possibly be done by the
bridge route. And where bridgework is
possible there is no comparison be
tween the two. A very large percent
age of our work is taking out bridge
work put in by supposedly high-class
dentists and replacing it with the
beautiful and artistic Alveolar teeth.
And, unlike bridgework in another re
spect, it Is practically painless. No
boring or cutting into the gums, noth
ing to be dreaded. Now, then, prices
being equal, which would you choose?
Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis
ease given up by other dentists as in
curable, is another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It is a boastful
statement to make, but we can do any
thing that is possible in dentistry and
what we do is always of the very high
est class. "Our booklets, Alveolar Den
tistry, are free. Write for one if you
cannot call. We have samples of our
work to show at all times, and the very
beet of references, an army of them in
this city and state.
