tax ferret investigation case that will
interest every tax payer in the county.
Some of the best legal talent in cen
trail Iowa has been retained by both

thought by many may be attempted
by the defense, in Difference to the

in the history of the county. Judge

Strong Resolutions for cummins.
Harlan, Aug. notwithstanding a
rainy day the republican,
convention Saturday was well attended,
harmony prevailed and = strong and In.
structed delegation was selected for "A.
b. Cummins. There was very friend
" feeling for John Herriott, but 1t was
felt by the delegates that the delegation
should represent the majority sentiment,
in the county, which was overwhelming :.
~ favorable to Mr.. Cummins. The fOl-
lowing resolutions We're adopted:
Resolved by the republicans of Shell
by county in convention assembled:
That we take sincere pride in the ur-
precedented growth and standing of the
nation and the contented and prosperous
condition OF the people under the polit-
teal guidance Of our president, William
Mckinley. IS Z, \
We endorse the; administration Of
Governor L. NJ. Shaw and commend
and approve the record of both Senator
Allison and Senator Dolliver, and favor.
their reelection by the coming legisla-
ture.
We are pleased with the present oppor-.
tunity Of expressing and recording our
appreciation ofo Hon. A. 3. Cummins q
man Of spotless character,sa man Of the
people and one eminently we'll fitted by
gifts OF intellect and manhood to fill the
high Office Of governor OF the great state
of Iowa. And believe that all public
servants should be chosen by the people
and that no special interests ought, to be
permitted to have any part in the selec-
ton OF our officials further than il con-
sistent with the just and equitabie adj
ministration of the affairs Of the state,
and thatiin all political contests the ma
jority should rule. We also confidently
believe that large majority of the res
publicans Of Shelby county earnestly
desire the nomination OF Mr.. Cummins,
and that any pretenee to the contrary
would be only political hypocrisy, an at
titude in itself unbecoming loyal-adher-
ents Of great political party and IN its
effects unjust to those who by their real
worth have triumphed over their politi-
cal adversaries and won the admiration
and favor Of the people. It is. therefore,
the desire Of this body that the delega-
ton to the state convention here select
ed. be instructed to employ all honora-
Bile means to aid in securing the nomi-
ntaion Of Hon. "A. B. Cumnins as the
republican candidate for governor Of
Iowa.
1--WE endorse the candidacy Of Hon.
e. H. Smith for state senator for the
Cass- Shelby senatorial district, and au-
thorize him to name the delegates to be
her eselected to attend the coming sem
atorial convention.

he replied. Il have known him ever
since he came to this city twenty three
years ago. I know that he lis republi-

elected by republican votes to the legis-
lature. He ran as republican, went
into the caucus OF the republicans and
was at all times a republican. Some Of
the ablest and most influential republi-
possible his election
These views are shared by the repub-
licans Of Polk county generally.
SO
The Polk county delegation is not we'll
pleased with the situation in regard to
state committeeman. Personally, many
of the delegates would prefer to have
Mr. Leach, the present member, re-
elected. There Is where the convention
went too far. A motion was made to
instruct for j. d. Wisenand for state
committeeman. 1t was carried, almost
without being understood. Ten days ago
when the matter Of the committeeship
was brought up the fact Of instructions
had been entirely forgotten When the
delegation was named number of the
delegates at once declared emphatically
they would vote for Leach. They are
not opposed to Wisenand, .but they rec
ognlzed that Leach, had made a. good
committeeman. But the whip has been
cracked and the delegation is now to be
kept solid for Whisenand in the caucus.
| The situation is CALLING to some Of the
delegates. but they believe in regularity
and Whisenand will be elected. But for
4 the instructions in convention he would
stand no show. Yet hi. is well qualified
for the place. In regard to the places
on the three leading committees. to be
selected in caucus, it has been agreed
by the Polk county delegation that the
other three counties that instructed for
Cummins can have them.
i sas
Major Conger has thirty delegates In
structed for him, fourteen in Madison
and sixteen in Warren. The delegates
in Warren are understood to be person
ally opposed to Cumming. while at leas,
twelve of those in Madison are for Cum
Imins for second choice Aside from tl1i.
Cummins will have the entire district.
