.F|CH1 IN CERRO GDRDO
Test of Strength Between the
Friends of Governor Cum
minis and j. E. Blythe
ToM WAY LEADING THE FIGHT
Blythe Has Candidate for District
Committeeman and the Friends of
Cummins Will Also Place candi-
date in the FieId-The EIectorship
Will Also Cause Contest.
Special to Times-Repuhlican.

Rockwell, May 27.-From present
indications it is a reasonably safe
guess that something will be doing in
n political way in Cerro Gordo coun-
convention, July 90. Thru the man
ipulation of James e. Blythe this
county was captured for the stand
patters at the late convention, by using
his last available political asset, Sena-
tor A. n. Gale, as candidate for
Fourth district delegate. Cerro Cor
do is naturally a Cummins county,
but rather than be placed in false
position of fighting a home candidate
the friends of the governor laid down
and allowed Senator Gale to misrepre-
sent the republicans of the county
by selecting delegation OF rabid
standpatters to the last state conven-
ton.
The talk today is that the Cummins
or anti Blythe men have laid down
for the last time, and henceforth there
will be peace only after one side or
the other has died in the last ditch.
The anti-Blythe men of this place
and of Clear Lake, have organized
under the leadership of Hon. Thomas
A. Way, of Mason City, and propose
to have recognition without bowling
the pregnant knee to Jim" Blythe.
The first round has already been
fought and the Way crowd has won.
Blythe came back from the recent
convention with plans laid to spring

Fourth district committeeman. to sue
coed J. G. Hempel. of Elkader,
Cummins man; but before he had
gotten his man in the field, Mr.. G.
w. Rowland. the present county clerk.
was sprung by the Way forces.
Aside from n candidate for COM
the Cummins forces will
also have a candidate for Fourth dis
trict elector. In the person of ex-
Mayor George w. Brett. of Mason
City, or Hon. d. w. Hurn, of Clear
Lake, IL present plans are carried out.
The Cummins men have all confidence
in being able to carry the county and
insist that it is time to again show
Mr.. Blythe that the people are op-
posed to corporation leadership. The
Times Herald, the Clear Lake Mirror.
the Clear Lake Reporter and Rockwell
are placed as supporters
OF Way. leaving Blythe the Globe
Gazette, in which he, is part owner,
and Republican only, while the ball
anee of the county papers are, thus
far, neutral.

Besides this, the female carries its
