numbers at this time in preparation for
the state convention, but in most cases
they are local contests, and these over
shadow all other matters. But It is plain
from the nature of these contests that
factional lines have not been entirely for
gotten in the various counties OF the state.
In a number of counties the old division
as between Cummins and anu-Cummins
still appears prominent. For instance, in
Blackhawk county, where there was a
bitter fight for representative, II was fought
out on this line. c. A Wise will be re-
nominated for representative for a third
term. He was opposed to l. H. SEVERN,
and at primary in Cedar Falls township
Wise won by twenty-seven votes. He was
supported especially by the Cummins men.
In Hancock county, where It was feared
there would be bad tangle and no candi-
date for senator would be indorsed, the
! republicans indorsed Cole. who is a friend
OF Cummins. This means that in all proba-
bility Senator Hartman of Franklin will
not be renominated, as Cerro Gordo county
also has candidates In Dallas county
where the question was of indorsing the
candidacy of Senator Hopkins of Guthrie,
an effort was made to bring out candidate
in opposition, and ex-senator Caldwell an
| nounced himself a candidate but at a con-
ference held yesterday Caldwell retired
from the race and Hopkins will be renomi-
mated easily. His opponent in Audubon is
Asmus Boysen member of the state COM
mittee for the Ninth district. In Ringgold
| county the convention selected delegation
to the senatorial convention that will as
sure the nomination of Marion F. stookey
of Leon for senator. He has been bitterly
! opposed to Cummlns all along. In Poca-
| ha ar a. I'm
that Representative Gilchrist will be re-
nominated.
| In the selection OF delegates to the state
convention but little attention is being paid
| in any OF the counties to factional matters
| and only the best republicans are selected.
| A number of the old wheelhorses of the
party who have been relegated to the rear
for several years will reappear this time.
Experience in n storm.
State Superintendent Barrett went to
Dickinson county Friday to attend the corn
mencement of the township high school at
Terril. which is said to be the model town
ship high school in Iowa, under the con-
solidated system. He had a remarkable
experience. He had to drive sixteen miles
across the country and found the roads 50
bad that he was overtaken by darkness
and about o'clock at night was struck
by a terrible storm of hail, wind and
lightning. He and the driver were both
thrown out and the buggy was overturned,
and it was with difficulty they held the
horses while the hail fell upon them. They
got into some water three or four feet
deep and 1t was a long time before they
| were able to go on. He arrived at the
school thoroughly drenched and covered
with mud and friends had to flt him out
with dry clothing before he could ap-
pear and speak to the fair graduates Of
the school He reports that the storm
was general in the north part OF the state
and that the headwaters of the Little Sioux
and other streams were so flooded that for
miles 1t appeared as though the land was
one great lake. The damage to crops was
immense.
