WEBSTER CITY POLITICS MIXED
Runored Now That the City clerkship
Will Become An Issue-Mayor E. A.
Edwards Nominated For Reelection
at Citizens Observation-Disclosures
That BIG Vote Will Be PoIIed.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, March 13.-The cltl-
zens' primaries, held in this city, Sat
urday night, brought out the largest
vote cast at a. city primary in some
years. The contest for mayor between
the present incumbent, Il. A. Edwards
and E. e. Valentine, was responsible
for the large vote. In three out of the
five wards of the city, there were also
contests for Alderman. Mayor Ed
wards, who has occupied his chair for
four years, received an overwhelming
endorsement of his official acts and
was nominated over his opponent by
more than two to one. The alder
manic majorities were all small. The
successful nominees are:
For mayor-F. A. EdwaEds, majority
$50.
For treasurer-George w. iced,
no opposition.
For solicitor-G. F. Tucker, no oppo-
sition.
For assessor-Willian Meekins, no
opposition.
For councilman, First ward - j. III.
Servis, majority over H. p. Mason
43 votes.
For councilman, Second ward - o. F.
Donaldson, majority over Dallas Hath
way, 81 votes.
For councilman; Third ward - w.
J. Monroe, no opposition.
For councilman, Fourth ward = +.
+. Cash, no opposition.
For councilman, Fifth ward = p. j.
Meller, majority over r. G. Foster, 20
votes.
These nominations, being made by
the Citizens" are i1S fact not recog-
nized by the code of Iowa, for the
citizens is not a political party, and
at the last general election did not
cast at least two per cent of the vote
in this city. Each OF the successful
candidates. however, has already been
also nominated by petition so that at
the election the 9th everything will be
regular and legal. OF course it is
barely possible that by election day
there will be other candidates, since
anyone can be nominated by petition.
This, however, is not likely, unless be-
tween now and that time complications
arise which will make other issues.
Politics in this city are badly mixed
Just now and it is intimated in some
quarters that the city. clerkship-this
officer being elected by the council
will become an issue and will be the
means of forcing other candidates out
Alderman Leroy of the Fifth ward
has already filed an Independent nomi-
1...tion by petition and unless it is
withdrawn will run against Mayor Ed
wards. Though badly mixed, affairs
are very interesting here, at present
and a big vote will be polled at the
election.

PLEASED WITH THE OUTLOOK
Work Opens Up BraveIy With Pros
poets of Iowa Making Better Rec.
ord Than a Year-Detaney's Plan
For Second Track Team Meets With
Immense and Instant Favor.
oecial to Times-Republican.

Special to mes-Republican.
Iowa City, March 13.-Jery Delaney
has made a hit with the track squad
at the state university of Iowa. His
method of work, radically different
from that of any previous trainer at
the university, has been received with
favor and the prospects of his devel-
oping winning team from the bunch
of candidates he has under his direc-
ton is believed to be very good in
deed.
1.-The work has opened up bravely,"
declares Delaney in discussing the ath-
letic outlook. 1.-THE men are working
hard and l don't believe that I ever
saw a bunch of men jump into the har-
ness the way this squad has. The fact
that they are all green men makes II
all the more unusual. They are a
merry bunch, too, who are taking the
work as fun without neglecting 1T at
all.
What are we going to do? All there
is in us. That's all. We are not win
ming any state meets in March can
assure you, nor are we going to win
the Iowa state meet on paper two
months before the gun cracks for the
preliminaries. l am decidedly pleased
with the outlook, but as to the results
of the sons work, we'll that's another
matter"
Among the members of Delaney's
squad nothing is heard but praise for
the new coach. Despite the fact that
he is working the men harder than any
track squad has been worked before IN
the past five years, they are taking TO
it with a vengeance and swear by the
man who is directing the work.
Delaney's plan for a second track
team met with instant favor, both
from the novelty of the proposition,
which has never been carried out at
any university in the United States be-
fore. and from realization of the fact
that it is just treatment for the men
who work hard and all but make good.
"Why shouldn't we have a second
track team as we have a second foot
ball team and second base ball
team" declares Delaney. "Are these
men not Just as entitled to dual meets
with minor colleges Of the state who
they can meet on terms Of equality, as
the better class men are entitled to
represent the university in harder con-
tests? It's only just treatment for the
boys and besides that it's existence will
act as spur to the first team and pro-
vide constant source from which
first rank men can be drafted into the
first team"
Hope that Iowa will better her posi-
| ton in the state meet over last year,
when she only secured third place, is
I another factor that is making the men
work hard. The outlook seems very
bright for successful season.

MURDER CHARGED
Eugene vandeveer, Alias J. J. Ward,
Taken Into Custody at Bedford on
Request of Kansas Authorities-sai

to Have Murdered Sweetheart.
Bedford, Ia, March 13!-Eugene VAN
deveer, alias j. j. Ward, was arrested
here Saturday by Sheriff Humphrey
as a fugitive from justice. The crime
he is charged with is the murder of
Bertha Smith, young woman 20 years
of age, who lived with her parents on
farm near Baird, small town in
Allen county, Kansas.
Vandeveer lived with his parents a
few miles from the home of the young
woman, and they had been sweethearts
for years.
On February ~ the girl died and it
developed that a criminal operation
was performed, and everything pointed
to the guilt of Vandeveer, who few
days prior to the Smith girls death
had disappeared.
Popular feeling against Vandeveer
ran high and the sheriff of Allen coun-
ty began a systematic hunt for the
fugitive.
BY means Of a letter addressed to
j. j. Ward the sheriff traced Vande-
veer to Bedford. For four days last
week the Kansas sheriff watched the
postoffice here for Val1deveer to claim
the letter, but he did rot appear. Sat-
urday he left for Kansas to follow up
another clue.
The same evening vandeveer appear
ed at the postoffice and called for the
letter addressed to Ward. He was
Immediately recognized by Postmaster
Clark and the sheriff notified.
Vandeveer was surprised and was
arrested without trouble, and is now
safe behind the bars.
Vandeveer is % years Of age and of
rough appearance. His reputation has
been bad, and he has posed as a bad
