who have their eye fonily fixed on some

that there is no unity of action thruout

ton OF Ida county in the Eleventh dis
trict, would ordinarily give Mr.. Perkins
our delegation. However this year pub
lie sentiment seems to be working along
different lines, and the public veal
seems to be more popular than private
gains. The farmer is much interested
in railroad taxation, and he wants a
governor who is In sympathy with his
interests, and the great majority are
soutspcken in their preference for Mr..
Scummins. In town there is decided
preference for Cummins and when the
Eleventh district argument is offered by
some aspirant for patronage the Hallam
letter IS read. as the best refutation of
any claim that Sioux City has on this
county. In fact the Boxers seem to be
IN control and are determined to stand
ior Mr. cummins in spite of the tempt
ing Offers made by the machine in
bringing out so many good men.

Claimed by Hartman. But Cum.
MINIS sentiment Seems strong.

Special to Times Republican.
Garner. April l3.--The political stu
alton in this county as regards % the
goyernorship is as yet uncertain, the
county being in the senatorial district
from which Hartman was chosen it
would appear on the face of it toSbe In
;clined TO be very little in his favor,
but that view of 1t is still more imag-
mary than real. OF course there are a
few here who have political aspirations
and they realize that if they cans some
way get Hartman the title OF governor
they will be the next choice for Harr-
mans present position in the legisla-
ture. They also figure that if Hancock
county supports Hartman in the pres
ent fight for governor Hartman will
aid Hancock as against Cerro Gordo
county when ii comes to the question of
a senator from this district for the leg
islature. The Garner Herald is favoring
Hartman, but 1t does not seem to be
because 1t really is in favor of Harri-
man but because it is against Cum
Minis. This comes from the old Gear VS..
Cummins trouble. Notwithstanding all
this the Britt News appears to have the
inside track on the political question in
this county and 1t appears here that
8Cummins is gaining strength every day.

Rockwell City. April l3.-The political
situation in Calhoun county is very aui-
1t. Excepting possibly on some of the
county supervisorships there is not
likely to be any contests for the repuh-

The republican primaries will be held

Lohrville, will be renominated for rep
without opposition. No
great interest in the governorship has
yet been stirred up. Mr. Cummins has
more personal acquaintance in the coun-
ty than any of the other candidates, and
is likely to have somewhat larger fol-
lowing than any of the others. unless
the Conger candidacy should attain SUCH
proportions as to awaken considerable
enthusiasm here. which is not unlikely.
In some parts OF the county there IS
considerable opposition to the Cummins
candidacy. and without any change in
sentiment the results are likely to be
mixed. The sentiment of the rank and
file of the party is largely undeveloped
