the harmony program agreed upon by
the big Eleventh is in accordance with
the wishes of Governor Cummins,
Senator Garst and other leaders of the
party. The real cause of the friction
which for a time threatened trouble in
northwestern Iowa appears to have
been the attitude of the Woodbury.
county delegation in regard to Senator
Garst Nobody had any criticism of
Congressman Hubbard for voting his
delegation for his fellow townsman:
but he had long been associated on
most pleasant terms with Senator
Garst and the two were known 10 have
the closet sympathy in all political
views, and when the delegation which
was headed by the congressman voted
Iowa senate. it was declared by many
that the last straw had been added to
the burden. But it is now explained
that Congressman Hubbard has not at
any time yielded in the least in his
views on political matters and that he
is in fact, despite his vote at the con-
vention, in harmony with the political
sentiment of his district. A letter
from a northern Iowa republican re-
ceived here yesterday, stated:
we are going to give the whole
state of Iowa an example of real har-
mony and we are determined that the
Eleventh district shall not be broken
into factional lines. We know Mr..
Hubbard and we believe he is all right.
He got into an unfortunate position
because of conflict of candidates.. and
for this we feel that he was in no wise
responsible; but we are going to stand
by him so long as he represents right
principles of government. Those who
came out as candidates for congress
and their friends had no i'll fee ing to-
ward Hubbard. They simply falt that
he had voluntarily severed his rela-
tions with his constituents. He has
shown us that this was not his inten
ton. 1t is all over"
While in the state senate Mr. Hub
bard was on terms of intimacy with
Senator Garst the real leader of the
senate then as he has been ever SINCE
and he sustained most cordial rela-
lions with Governor Cummins. There
has never been, in fact, any break in
these elations. Mr. Hubbard is cred
tied with having been of great value in
preventing the threatened split in the
recent republican state conven ion and
it is understood that he, at al times,
advised the square deal which resulted
in the harmonious nomination of
compromise ticket.
The Meeting at Storm Lake.
Storm Lake, Aug. 12.-There was an
important conference of the Eleventh
district republicans at this place Fri
day night. The purpose of it was
to consider the congressional situa-
ton in this district, with view to
determining the course of the party,
and if practicable to bring it INTO an
agreement as to a candidate before the
congressional convention.
Congressman Hubbard contracted
the usual amount of grief in the dis
tribution of patronage, especially in
the poStoffices, and that added an
element to be considered in connec-
ton with the larger policies of the
party, and with Hr. Hubbard's rela-
ton thereto.
The meeting was called at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Hubbard, and invita-
oil t1,4 f1o,,
who had been mentioned in the dis
trict as possible candidates for the
congressional nomination this year,
and to their friends, and important
representatives Of the Cumnlins' or
ganization.

MIR. Hubbard's Address.
When it was getting late in the even
ing, Mr.. Hubbard made more formal
address, especially reviewing MS record
in the performance of his duties as a
congressman among which is the dis
tribution of certain patronage in which
he admitted that he had made some
mistakes, but said they Were his own;

Dental postoffices was being taken
away from the duties of congressman"
and defended himself against the more
