Trouble is brewing for Alva "A. Ho-3
bart, the Eleventh district candidate
for secretary of state His candidacy
was forced upon the republicans, of the
district and was accepted reluctantly.
Nothing but feeling of district pride
secured him any considerable support,
and the support he apparently has is
not genuine. 1t became evident last
night that the delegates from the Flew.
enth were ready to throw Hobart over
and to go over TO another candidate for
secretary Of state.
Hobart has the genuine support Of
but three counties in the district. They
are Plymouth Ida and his home coun-
~ of Cherokee. In Woodbury., twenty
of the twenty-five delegates look with
disfavor5 on Hobart's candidacy. Buena
Vista county delegation Of ten is anx-
ious to break away The endorsement
given Hobart at the county convention
was purely perfunctory. Sioux coun-!
ty's delegation Of thirteen contains but
two Hobart men. The other eleven are
insisting on another candidate. Lyon
county opposes him. The railroad sen-
5timent Is 80 strong in Dickinson that

with pieces Of bread, but they had very
