President Presi-dent Wilson and the peace treaty were: condemned and the railroad law commended com-mended by Senator Cummins, president presi-dent pro tempore of the senate, in an' ! address -here today to the Iowa Hepub-' I Heart convention. I Predicting Republican success -next November, Senator Cummins said n Republican president should be clios-i on "because it is high time that tho' .president should bo a right minded man." "For surely," ho continued, "eight years of mystery, of. uncertainty, of inconsistency, in-consistency, of abnormality, of inconceivable incon-ceivable twisting and turning in the. office of the chief executive aro pun- ishment enough for all tho sins and blunders we may havo committed, and wo have earned our emancipation." I Senator Cummins characterized the! law returning tho railroads to private! nurnnrcliln n q "n crnot fnrwnrvl otnn n ' progressive and constructive legislation legisla-tion containing a code for protection! of railroad workers." j Reiterating advocacy of anti-strike legislation, Mr. Cummins said the railroad rail-road labor board Is a "tribunal which will render to railroad wage workers a surer and higher justice than they over can hope to socure through a strike." The treaty of Versailles will be aj campaign issue, said Mr. Cummins.! who asserted that it contained unccn-j stitutional and treasonable .provisions. The biggest problem now facing America, Mr. Cummins said "is to readjust re-adjust tho disordered relation which has inevitably appeared between wages and compensation for personal service and the prlco of commodities" Increased production, he added, was the remedy.
