Special to Times Republican.
Charles City, April 1S.-The political
situation in Floyd county is becoming
interesting. There is no harmony in
the party so far as regards the guber-
Material situation. A b. Cummins has
some very warm friends in this section
who would like to see him governor,
but the prohibition faction of the repub-
lican party in this county which is a
large factor in the county convention, Is
bitterly opposed to him and ii will take
some sharp manipulation to secure dele
gates that will support him in the con-
vention The candidacy of Hon. j. H.
Trewin meets with more favor and had
Jim announced his candidacy earlier in
the season the county could undoubted-
ly have been carried fSr him without
much trouble. Senator Hartman is an
old resident of this county and natur-
ally has many friends who would like
to see him fill the governors chair.
The other candidates have little or no
following. The chances are that If
Trewin shows a fighting chance in the

Sepcal to Times Republican.
vinton. April lS.-Benton county con-
tains friends for almost every guberna-
torial candidate yet announced, altho
the chances are that 1t will support Jim
Trewin if that gentleman can prove
that his candidacy is sincere and not the
creature of the railway machine. A. B.
Cummins has many friends among the
citizens and would probably carry the
county in popular vote, but hls friends
are not politicians. The political ma
nipulators will follow the lead of Ber-
nard Murphy and Mr.. Murphy is no
friend of Cummins. He claims that his
obligations because of the state printer
ship are obligations to the anti-Cum-
Minis side and will be fulfilled.
Lawyer Whipple will be Benton's
candidate to succeed Senator Penrose.
Tama will undoubtedly concede the
nomination to Benton and the fight will
come in the contest with the democrats
for election. Col. Welcome Mowry Will
receive the support Of Benton county.

the senatorship owing to the fact that
1T elected democrat as representative.
a number of the politicians who were
for Gear in the senatorship fight will
come out for Cummins this year. The
original Cummins forces have seen only
an addition in numbers and enthusiasm
of late. 1t is not the habit of the county
to instruct, hence few scattering votes
dates. 1nscase 1t is pretty nearly unani-
nous for Cummins, there will be no eff
fort to instruct for Cummins. but il the
snti-Cummins forces should be almost
as strong as the Cummins men there
viii be fight over Instructions.
The "regulars.' as the anti Cummns
men choose to call themselves, are
waiting for the band wagon. Some
think that the Conger boom may be 1t.
lrewin, despite the fact that his Lans-
Ing law partner is one of the popular
University graduates, will find 1t hard
to pick up a vote in johnson county.
His speech against the university on the
five-mile limit bill is remembered too
yividly here. Perkins will have less
support than Trewin. if that be possible.
John Herriott was in the city Saturday
cn political matters and may not find it
Lard to pick up a few votes in the con-
syention among those who admire his
honesty and desire to represent the peo-
pie and who do not wish to take sides
on the Cummins and anti Cummins
controversy. Sidney "A. Fosters candi-
dacy is not taken seriously here. The
strength that Hartman may develop is
problematical. His son, DIR. Hartman.
has never taken an active part in po-
litical work, but could accomplish much
ii he desires to.
For representative the democrats will
nominate Hon. George W. Koontz,
whose good work in connection with the
tive-mile limit bill and all around serv-
ice is recognized by all. He will I'M
coubtedly be elected The republicans
will run candidate against him, if they
can get any one tostake up the PROPOSE
|tion.
Treasurer Cherry will be nominated
by the democrats for another term if
aspirants from the country can be
headed off. Cherry is very popular here
on account of his conduct thru the
trying ordeal when the shortage in his
accounts was discovered He paid the
entire amount before legal process was
begun at all.
Nothing is known as to the republican
candidate for county Superintendent.
Evan Rowland. who ran a very close
race for sheriff at the last election. may
be nominated again for that office Andy

Gratis for sheriff and Sam Whiting fol

charge that the Iowa city school board
has robbed the rural schools Of $4,000

racket for him in the city.

LOUISA AGAINST cuMM1Ns.

Palmer or Conger.

Special to Times Republican.
Wapello. April 1a.-The political stu
etion in Louisa county is extremely
quiet. Very little has been said or done
with respect to the governorshIp.
Enough interest, however, has been
manifested to indicate that the county
will be against Mr.. Cummins for gov
einor. The sentiment OF this county
will be for Col. Palmer, IL he is a can
didate, and the soldier element being
very strong. 1t is likely to go for SOL
der candidate in case Col. Palmer does
rot enter the race.
Senator Trewin has a number OF very
warm friends in this section Of the
state from friendships formed during
his membership of the house and senate.
He is looked upon as a very strong
candidate. and is likely to gather a
great deal Of support in this county, and
the counties of the First and Second
districts. Another very prominent fac
tor found among the soldier ranks is the
sentiment for Conger. v he VIII accept

Franklin county is enthusiastically for
Hartman first, last and all the time.
His candidacy will overshadow and alb

In the local field the primary cam

more candidates for sheriff, of which j.
II. Fowler and Frank Kay have already
been announced. w. c. Horner and L.
n. Raymond are candidates for super
visor and there may possibly be con-
tests for the nominations to be made ait

trail committee meets one week from to-
day to fix the date for the primary elec-
ton. which it is thought will be held
either on June IA or 81.

Hampton, April 13.-Three persons.
Edison Giilett and j. r. Fowler. Of
Hampton, and L. H. Wolf, of Marion
township have already announced
themselves as candidates for the office
of sheriff and it is expected there VIII
be one more in the field before long.
These men have wide acquaintance
and numerous friends which will insure
a spirited contest. The other places on
the ticket will be filled by the present
sincumbents who are serving their first
terms.
The contest for the nomination for
governor is gathering considerable in
terest here. The republicans of Frank
lin county are unanimous for Hon w.
F. Hartman and think that no better
or safer man could be selected for the
office. and we believe that if the state.

Allison, April 13.-Local politics are
Icing discussed with considerable vigor
in every township ard precinct in the
county, as our primaries will be held on
May 4. There are FIVE candidates for
treasurer, three for superintendent,
three for sheriff and three for super
visor in the first district. Each of these
candidates is making a vigorous can
vass of the county trying TO make the
dear people believe he world be an ideal
officer if elected. The Indictment weather
and bad roads hav been an obstacle in
the way of progress, however. AS to
candidates for governor, as far as we
have been able to hear from the repub-
licans of Butler county. the sentiment
OF large majority is for Cummins.
Herriott would be second choice but
many who talked Herriott few weeks
ago are now favorable to Cummins.

choosing a candidate who can success
fully oppose him. There Deems to be a
disposition on the part of a great many
active democrats to concede the noni-

spectively to Treasurer Hazlett and

County Superintendent Hagemann is
not candidate for denomination, and it

Special to Tines Republican,
DEBORAH, April lS.-Hon A. B. Cum
minis has mere warm earnest friends in
this county thany any other candidate
for governor. AT least, that was the
case until the announcement of Mir.
Trewin's name came out. There is a
neighborly feeling towards him as a
resident of northeastern Iowa tina. may
lead to complimentary vote to him. but
there IS no doubt that the real hearty
feeling is for Mr.. Cummins. The can
ciGacy of Hon. w. H. Klemme for lieu-
tenant governor will have a bearing on
the delegation because there is no doubt
that the county will give him a hearty
support on the ticket. On other officers
there is no particular interest
