from the Eichth district who have been
IN the city the past few days are much
concerned over the political outlook
there. The congressional convention
hello in Creston was not, according to
some of the wise ones, actuated by the
best motives and did not display the
qualities which make for republican
gain. Congressman Hepburn was nom
mated for 4 tenth term in congress and
the platform declares that "hs career
of usefulness has only just begun" a
statement which at least gives the op-
position fair opening for ridicule. rhe
platform appears to have been con-
Governor Cummins and his friends.
One plank declares:
'.As Iowa repblicans we take especial
pride in the fact that the series of re-
publican administrations add cumulat-
lively to the luster of this common
wealth.
The Cummins men of the convention
accepted this when read as being an
/ Endorsement of the state administra-
ton, for it is the only thing having to
do with the commonwealth, but the
sentence is SO sandwiched in between
others that it may mean the state or
the national administrations. warm
friend of Governor Cummins, who is of
considerable influence in one of the
southern tiers of counties of the district
expressed himself as feeling that the
| convention deliberately planned to in
suit the friends of the governor. Then
on the other hand Col. Hepburn in his
speech distinctly ndorsed the trusts
and defended them, and left the i'm
| preston that in his Judgment they are
a good thing. In this he takes ground
| so opposite to that taken by Governor
h Cummins that it would be impossible
4 for the governor to make any speeches
/, in the district this year. In view of all
4 these matters it is stated that a strong
effort is to be made to get Senator Por-
ter. of Appanoose county, to come out
as aseandidate against Hepburn, and
/ this would be pleasing TO some Of the
republicans who feel that they have
not been treated right in the Eighth
district.
1T seems to me-" said republican
yesterday. that the situation in the
Eighth district is good deal like it
was when Hepburn was Beaten before,
and we are going to have hard time
getting him thru this time. If Porter
will run against Hepburn it will be a
pretty race. The situation is not prom

here in the situation in the Fourth dis
trict as it has been left, especially with
regard to the member of the state COM
mittee. The impression is that in the
selection of delegates to the state con-
Nention Turner. the present commits
teeman, has been defeated, and that a
man will come down from the Fourth
district friendly to Cummins. Those
who have been following the conven-
tons closely think they can see this re-
suit tho they do not know who will be
brought out as q candidate against
Turner. But in the Ninth district 1t
begins 20 look like the change would be
the other way and Bruce would be
beaten by Powell. If this happens the
state committee will remain about the
same as to its organization that it is
now 1t is understood Mr.. Spence de- |
sires another term as chairman and the |
members of the committee are favora-
BILE to this.
The Adair county convention of last |
Saturday. which gave Secretary ot
State Martin the right to select his own |
delegates to the state convention. was
interesting only because of the efforts
that had been made to get instructions
for judge. Adair county has no candi- |
date. but is warmly attached to Judge |
Appleaate of Guthrie county. Guiher, |
Of Madison, and Nichols. of Dallas, has
been in the county looking for support. /
Guiher camped in the county and un-
dertook to get instructions for him I
self. Nichols went to Greenfield the day
of the convention and the result was
that all instructions on judge We're
turned down by the convention The
delegation is about evenly divided be-
tween Nichols and Guiher. This is
really victory for Nichols. because
the county was naturally for the Mad
ison man.
A good many unkind remarks were

farming pretensions of the late Judge
Hubbard, but John CoWnie declares
that in all his experience he never met
any man so thoroughly Informed an all Il
matters relating to agriculture as
Judge Hubbs rd He went out on his
farm originally for his health and be-
cause he needed the outdoor life" SAID
Mr Cowrie He made farming
study He was informed on every sub
ject, he had it all figured out to
nicety ard knew just what should be
done or not done to make farming
success He knew all about the soil
and the plarts and he took the greatest
delight in sitting down and discussing
.hese matters with farmers. If tn
judge had been set out on a tract OF
Wild prairie in early life he would have
got rich farming"
Senator Nealey of Fort Dodge, who
was in Des Moines yesterday, is much
in the building work of the
Great Western to Omaha and Sioux
City. He recently drove over large 5
part of the route to Omaha and says
that 1t passes thru good country, hits
