Everybody in West DepifnRd Against
Division. ~

Fhe citizens meeting in the Town Hall,
al Thorofare, Tuesday evening to consider
an alleged proposition to divide the town
shin. was attended by the solid citizens Of
every section Of the township John A..
Brown was chosen chairman and Wood
Wynne, secretary. The chairman first
called on those in favor Of division, 70 pre-
sent their views, but nobody responded.
Then those against division we're given q
chance, and everybody had reasons to adj
vance why no division should be made.
Charles Hilliard, prominent citizen Of
Newbold, quoted figures to show that,
from a financial standpoint, it would be
inadvisable for Nswbold and Victoria to set
mp a seperate municipal government, as
their tax rate would be sure to advance
from 81. 4s to $500.
A change, however, thas all were agreed
on, was the need Of two voting precincts
one ali Thorofare and one at NewboId or
Victoria, and committee consisting Of }.

Iowa Democrats, who never get
within sight Of a state Office except
when the opposition party is shot
to pieces
An anamalons condition prevails.
Governor A. B, Cummins will go
into the state convention with more
than enough instructed delegates
to renominate him for a third term
on the first ballot. But the anti
Cummins faction, whose candidate
for governor is ex-Congressman
George D. Perkins of Sioux City,
has captured six out of the eleven
members of the state central COM
mittee, and it is planned by invok-
ing for the first time in this state
the plan of the temporary roll call
to organize the convention and
connt out enough Cummins delega-
tons, seating their own contesting
grougs, to nominate Perkins. LATE
Young Young, spokesman for the
standpatters, has boldly printed the
plan.
Cummins is labeled Republican"
but has enough craftsmanship in
him to make pretty good Demo-
crat if given few years in which
to develope. His broad and indie
pendent views have thrown him
out of harmony with the leading
state Republican machine politi-
ticians and the trusts, and they are
after his scalp. He will not SUBJ
init to their dictation, even if the
squabble results in electing a Dem
ocrat governor of Iowa. His back
bone, ability and devotion to princi-
pie have arrayed against him a COR
rupt. yet powerful element of the
Republican party of his state.

The July Cosmopolitan contains
an arraignment of Senator Bailey
by David Graham Phillips. He
charges the Senator with being the
right hand bower of a coterie of
trust magnates who opened their
Golfers to him in exchange for serv-
ices inconsistent in a great tribune
of the people. Mr.. Bailey is can
didate for reelection. and since he
has been indicted by one so emf
nent in public affairs, it would be
very becoming in him to move to
leave to the people Of the whole
state to select whom they want as
senator, and not to a state legisla-
ture that so often does things that
are not complimentary to the wis
dom and integrity of the legislators.
