committee on resolutions was a great
surprise to many and a bitter disap-
pointment to Marshall county. Senator

was the only thing Marshall asked for
and she expected the support of her
friends. But, alas, Cedar split. The
Linn county insurgents, who have been
making the Fifth district the laughing
stock of the convention, cast their thir-
ty votes for Ellison. Grundy came to
Fletchers support, and it only re-
NAMED for Tama to repay the hundreds

mistake and expressed great sorrow
that Fletcher did not win. but Marshall
refused to accept the excuse, for plenty
of time was given to change the vote
and Marshall county delegates swore

We're made without contest.

Charley Rains burg Talks About
Ihose Instructions.

Des Moines. Aug 2.--The Register
prints an interview with Charley
Rainsburg, of Brooklyn, regarding
Poweshiek county politics in particular
and the sixth district in general. Whiia
the senatorial question has been elirli-
mated from the convention, by common
consent today, the interview is of con-
siderable interest to those Interested IN
the contest.
1T was like this, said aEr Rains
burg. "Poweshiek Is and has been a
Cummins county all the time and the
effort being made To make it appear
that we had to tear our shirts in his be-
half is poppycock. 1t gives US credit
for organizing ability which W. are not
entitled To.
1T was given out weeks before, was
it not that Poweshiek was for Senator
Gear and would instruct for him?" was
asked
Yes. but that was mere talk and
bluff and was based only ON the persons
al views of one or TWO persons who
thought they voiced the sentiments Of
the people,"
Isn't it a fact, Mr., Rainsbure. that
you assisted in making thorough can
vass of your county in Mr.. Cummins'
interest o.
"It was not necessary for US to go
that far. The people We're for Gummins
and the boys in the northeast part of
the county about Brooklyn simply
warned the farmers that an effort was
being made to line up Poweshiek county
against their friend A. b. Cummins. We
simply put them on their guard and
they were ready for 1t. Capt J. w.
Carr, a veteran of the civil war, and a
man whom every one has the utmost
confidence in. conveyed the information
to the citizens of Montezuma and the
south part of the county. Harry Boyd,
the chairman of our county committee,
put up the flag of warning at Malcom,
and telephoned to Representative
Alvin Jones to keep one eye out for
sharks. Will Rayburn, ex-mayor of

chances are, that ii is all up With Burn
ham and that Robinson VIII be nonli-
mated for supreme judge after the ni-
nor candidates have exhausted them
selves and the convention in showing
their strength. judge Builtam's
friends have made as good right as
possible under the circumstances and
have stood UP under the staggering
blow dealt them by Linn county long
er than a less compact organization
could possibly haze done. Leading men
from Linn are saving that this means
that Linn county Will get nothing from
the Fifth district for twenty years to
come. No one denies that the Linn
county performance is prompted by
nothing but malice. The fight in the
convention promises to be prolonged
one. The Sherwin people could not be
convinced that it was 70 their interest
TO help BGrnham now IN return Tor help
for sherwin next year. Friends OF Fee
and Sloan could have been persuaded
in the interest of Gear to concetie Burn
hams nomination, but the hopes of
sherwin were too much buoyed by kind
words from all over the state. Mean
while Robinson. with his lead. stood pat
and waited for the inevitable.

That rolls az far and rolls as free,
with drifts Of flowers, so many there be,
Where the cattle roam and rest.
oh could We see, and could We see

The rivers that race through the p'ne-shad'

TIL mountainous SHOWS that take no mark,
Sunit and high on the Rockies stark,
SO far they seem as near
Then could We feel. and could We feel
How fresh is a Western night!
when the long land-breezes rise ana pass
Ana sigh in the rustng prairie grass.
Wien the dark blue skies are clear as glass,
And the same old stars are bright
But could We know, and for ever know
The word Of the young Northwest!

A word misknOwn to the false and cold.
