Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, May 31.-The republican
county convention meets in Eldora to-
morrow and there is much speculation
as to the action that body will take in
political matters 1t is thought by many
that there will be no instructions on the
governor question. but following the ex-
ample of Union county will endorse
Judge Weaver of this city. for supreme
Judge and remain quiet on the endorse
ment of any gubernatorlal candidate.
The county is placed in a peculiar posi-
ton, politically. this year. having a
leading candidate for the supreme bench
and at the same time being in the Third
district Senator Harriman's home dis
trict. On the other hand there is a.
strong Cummins sentiment in many To-
calities, so that it is generally thought
that Judge Weaver will be accorded the
selection of his own delegation and that
any expression of choice of the candi-
dates for governor will not be heard.
State Senntorshfp Contest.
Charles City. May 31.-In the senatori-
al contest for the republican nomination
in this. the Floyd-Chickasaw district,
George f. May is now out of the fight
and Professor McGregor, of Nora
Springs. has quit and will leave The
county to teach school elsewhere. j. S.
Trigg, editor of the Rockford Register,
is now in the field. with Hon. William
B. Towner, of this city. as probable
dark horse. Ex- Representative E. C.
Spaulding. of Marble Rock. is and has
heen candidate from the beginning of
the pre-convention campaign. Senator
Perrin, Of Nashua. will not he a candi-
date unless the contest in Floyd later on
should seem to justify his candidacy OF
the three in this county Spauding
Seems to be the logical candidate. His
legislative experience puts him in line
for advancement. This. as rule. is good
local politics. s. G Sloane, editor of the
.ntelligencer. of this city.qis now a can
didate for representative. and ex-Super-
visor r. S. Chichester. of Rudd. is now
mentioned as contestant for the same
cfTice. The county convention has not
yet been called for either state county
or senatorial purposes. How this county
will stand on governor is problematica
