hat he was called to a position with
he Northern Central of Michigan,
vhich he constructed. It was while
engaged in this work that he met the
roung woman who later became Mrs.
Cummins, then Miss Ida L. Gallery, of
Eaton Rapids, Mich.
The work of the Michigan road at
tracted the attention of capitalists and
le was offered a position by those
svho were building the Rio Grande.
Cummins started for Denver, but he
oever got there. While -waiting for
his train in Chicago a friend suggest
ed that he remain and study law,
which he did.
After being admitted to the bar in
Chicago, he removed to Des Moines,
where he worked his way to the front
rapidly.
It was without his own consent that
he broke into politics in 1887 when
some Republicans bolted their party
and named him as an independent
candidate for the legislature. He was
elected and served one term. Five
years later when the leaders of the
Rpublican party in Iowa set about to
reclaim the state from Democratic
rule, he was made the chairman of
the state convention.
Soon afterward Mr. Cummins made
his first fight for a place in the
United States senate, but -was de
feated by a narrow margin. He ral
lied to his support many young men,
and the party divided into Cummins
and anti-Cummins elements. In 1901,
after a stormy campaign, he was elect
ed governor, a place he held until his
election to the senate.
While governor he started a
thorough investigation of railroad
taxation, rates, earnings and capitali
zation and engaged in a long struggle
against some of the practices of the
rail carriers in his state. On his re
commendation the legislature put
through the two-cent fare law, the
anti-pass law, the joint freight rate
law, an act limiting hours of railroad
employes and the primary election
law.
Senator Cummins in 1874 married
Miss Gallery, to whom one daughter
Kate, was born. Mrs. Cummins died
in February, 1919, and after that time
the Senator lived with his two sisters,
Anna and Margaret Cummins. Be
sides his sisters, his family consisted
of two brothers, B. F. Cummins, a'
manufacturer of Chicago, and J. C.
Cummins, an attorney of Des Moines.
