Wise Wins in Cedar Falls
Cedar Falls. May 25.-In the hottest
township primary election ever held here
Hon C. a. Wise was elected nominee for
representative subject to the republican
county convention ut Waterloo on the &c
defeating l.. Ii. SEVERN by % votes. The
Vote was, Wise 4S4, SEVERN 45T. The to-
tai vote was almost 100 more than the
total vote at the last city general election.
the difference being the county township
vote The victory of Mr. Wise establishes
in Blackhawk county, which has been Wig
olously opposed by II faction of the press
and constituency. Much scratching was
done on delegates to the county conven-
tion, but the election of Mr.. Wise in this
primary insures his nomination in the
county convention, as the county has con
ceded the representative to Cedar Falls
for many years and supports the nominee.
& Both candidates had worked the field thor
oughly, and We're confident of success to
the last The nomination of Mr.. Wise is
victory for that faction of the township
and city organization which has been
characterized as the machine.
AT the democratic county convention at
Waterloo no mention of a representative
was made, and the report that a peoples
candidate may be put in the field may ma
terialize, as the SEVERN supporters feel
their defeat keenly.
