The Iowa Republican state convention is having problems maintaining party unity. Governor Cummins is trying to maintain control over the convention, and has spoken against William P. Hepburn remaining as permanent chairman of the convention. Cummins is trying to show that he has not abandoned the “Iowa idea,” and will likely write the platform, or at least the part related to tariffs. The governor’s opponents have dug up an old letter from Cummins in which he supports free silver, rather than the gold standard.
