What was said was not made a MAJ

of striking therefrom names of persons
who might be especially Objectionable.
| This committee went away and after
wards returned to the governor AMI
reported that the agreement was en-
tirely satisfactory to Captain Hull.
and had received his sanction. This
committee was headed by w. V. VIII
cox. one of the Hull managers. and
the most ardent friend he has, but
who has always been on good terms
with the governor. But the matter OF
selecting delegates was delayed and
the list was not in fact given the gov
ernor before 1t was made public and
given the county committee. Govern
or Cummins called the committee 10
account for failure to submit the list
and another and larger committee
waited on the governor with the list
of delegates. Many of the men were
unknown to Governor Cummins and he
had no means Of knowing their per-
Sonal preferences. The committee
went over the list with the governor
in his office and a good part OF two
days was spent in doing this. The
members of the committee gave the
governor absolute assurance that the
delegation was one which would be for
him If selected and that he need have
no fear of the result. Here the maj
ter rested.
The persons who took part In these
various conferences and who were Of
the committee representing Captain
Hull, were:

merly candidate for postmaster.

Carroll Wright, who presided at the

Claim is now made that these people
acted entirely without authority from
Captain Hull and that he was grossly
deceived as to what was going on
and that neither the governor nor the
members of congress were correctly in
formed as to the progress of affairs
during the campaign.
The controversy over this agreement
is regarded on all hands as extremely
unfortunate in Des Moines. There Is
