Des Moines, May Atom Purcell
who is in the city attending the Wood
men convention by which he was cleo
ted delegate to the head camp, says
Senator COPYRIGHT is all wrong on the
support of Julian Richards IN the
Third district. Senator COPYRIGHT
says Julian Richards will have no
trouble in getting the Third district"
said Mr.. Purcell today. II understand
he not only will nave trouble getting
the Third district, but will have trou-
all for Kretschmer up that way and
Kretschmer will be a strong candi-
date. OF course, / understand Senator
COPYRIGHT coming from Waterloo.
which is Richards home, couldn't be
expected to say anything else. l
would talk the same way about a cam
didate from my home town that 1 had
to support Richards will not get the
Third district if he does his own coun-
ty. Up our way we are im favor OF
some one WHO lives III IOWA loi SEE

State Committeeman s. X. Way, Of
the Tenth district. who is in the city.
says in discussing the editorial recent
ly published in his paper favoring fight
and against the idea of compromise
that compromise for the governors
party which stands for definite idea
means defeat While for the Blythe men
a compromise secured from the Cum
Minis men is victory. THE fact is
said Mr.. Way today. that every time
we make a gain 1t is a gain for good.
If we secure primary election law
it will stand. The state will never go
back to the caucus after a primary
election law is once enacted. If we
secure an anti-pass law 1t will be the
same way. And every time we secure
such measures we cripple the oppo-
sition. am not out for any office and
so 1 am against compromise. A man
running for some office will frequently
want to compromise. OF course, If
party meets continued defeat it will
die out and a faction of party will
do the same thing, but if we win one
victory out of three I've will have gain
ed ground. After the executive coun-,
ell has put up the railroad assessments
you will never hear of their being put
down again"
Col William Cosllson, messenger and
usher in the Office, of Governor Cum
Minis, says he was very agreeably sur
prised at the treatment that he re-
ceived on his recent southern trip.
Mr.. Coalson says he had been told
frequently that the south and espec-
tally Texas was {, rough country for
a colored man. He found, however
when he reached one town that the
tough element was always in the next
town. At Galveston it was said that
Houston was rough place and at
Houston it was said Galveston was
rough place. Mr.. Coalson went out
and Investigated for himself. "At
they made no distinction,
whatever on the street cars. The back
seats were full and we took seats
about half way up the car. Later on
other colored people got on the car and
went farther up yet. Some places they
had different drinking fountains in the
depots l never received the slightest
dlscourteous treatment in the south
with one exception, and that was from
a colored man. l went to the COVER
nor's hotel and told them who I was
and inquired for the governors
rooms The clerk told the bell boy,
who was white, to take me to the gov
10 the elevator when the colored man in
charge Of the elevator showed the ele-
vator boy out and said, You know you
can't take that man UP here So we
had to walk up the stairs. The gov
ernor took the interurban across to
Dallas, and stayed with the car. All
the train men, yard master and every
que treated me with the greatest
courtesy. The reporters came to the
car and were courteous In fact every
,ne treated us as gentlemen. The
porter on the car told me couldn't
get anything to eat at the restaurants.
| investigated and found that could.
Then he told me couldn't get anything
% drink anyway. I inquired OF col
,red man and he directed me to one Of
he finest saloons in the place and I
lad no difficulty whatever. The peo-
,le down there are better than in Ten
,essee. The white people are we'll ed
lcated. Almost all the work about the
.ailroad yards Is oy colored men,"
The attendance at the coming annual
convention OF the State Federation of
labor at Council Bluffs is not expected |
o be as large as the attendance last
rear at Marshalltown. This will be |
partly due to the fact that Council
3luffs Is on the extreme border OF the
tate. 1t is fact that four-fifths OF
Il q line drawn north and south thru
0es Moines It Is the policy of the !
tate federation, however, to change

eason that It Is believed the unions in
he towns where the convention Is held

nd the different cities are anxious to
ecure the convention. There were 1870 |
delegates to the Marshalltown conven-
ion. Ottumwa is making hard fight !
