tested, Likewise One in the

Since the recent meeting Of few
dissatisfied republicans, held in the of
flee of Col. j. NJ. Parker, at which time
an anti Cousins movement was started
with the proposition that Hon. Charles
F'ckles. of Taylor township be placed

cess of the petition that was to be Cir
iculated among the delegates to the
county convention.
Attic those who had the petition in
charge have been asked several times
as to the success they were having, no
statements have been made. On the.l
Other hand. those who claim to be in
touch With the movement and who APP
pear to know as to its success, claim
that over half of the delegates from
Marshall town are for a Marshall coun-
~ man and against Bob" Cousins.
In view of the fact of the continued
Interest in the matter. a Times Repub-
lican representative has seen and inter-
viewed several of the delegates from
Marshalltown, and to be fair in the
matter, no statement could be made
unless 1t be said that so far as learned
the delegates from this city are for no
one else than Bob Cousins, despite
the claims Of the anti-C Cousins men to
the contrary.
All of the delegates, Of course, have
not been seen. but an expression can be
formed. nevertheless, as to the general
sentiment.
