Fourth District Congressman
Believes Opposition to Renom-

to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 9.-NeNt to the
fight between the Perkins and Cum
Minis factions in the Eleventh the sit
uation in the Fourth district where OPP
position of Congressman Haugen has
developed is attracting most interest
Haugen's own explanation of the OPP
position is interesting and it is on a
par with the entrance of Senator Ell
kins and others into the campaign
against Cummins. 1t shows that the
railroads and other special Interest
have determined to so to any length
to stifle the demand of the people for
a correction of the abuses of corpora
uncontrolled politics.
1t appears that not long after Mr.
Haugen made his speech against the
Parcels post system, he began to re-
ceive letters from certain Iowa men
representing the interests of James J..
Hill and j. w. Blythe, who objected to
MIR. Haugen's speech by letter and later
came on to Washington and in confer
ence with Mr.. Haugen objected to his
stand. Not long after this there took
place in Des MoineS a conference OF
Fourth district standpat leaders and
then candidates began to be announced
in opposition to Mr.. Haugen. Mr. Hau-
gen takes the view that the railroads
are vitality interested in the establish
ment of a parcels post system, as it
would mean an income of millions
yearly to them additional to the sum
they now receive for carrying the
mails. BY some this additional income
is estimated at not less than 100000
O00
Who the representative of Mr.. Hill
was who came to him, Mr.. Haugen
would not say. There are many res
sons for believing that it was W. w.
Baldwin of Burlington, who has besn
in Washington most of the winter in
the railroads.
Mr.. Haugen is in no way alarmed by
the fact that a number of candidates
have come out against him.
The Fourth and Cummins.
The statement by Senator Gale that
the congressional fight in the Fourth
would not involve the gubernatorial
contest is given no credence by politi-
cal leaders here because already
number of county conventions have
been called at which both the congress
sional and state delegates will be Sc
lected.

CHAMPION is ACQUITTED.
Prominent School Teacher Caused
His Arrest at Nashua.

Special to mes-Republican.
waverly, April 9.-The preliminary
hearing at Nashua is said to have re-
suited in the acquittal of George
Crampeon, a we'll known young man
who was arrested on complaint of a
former school teacher of Chickasaw
county. Crampeon had attended a
dance at Nashua Friday night in COM
pany with some. of his friends. At the
close of the affair several of the young
people went to a hotel, among them
being Mr.. Crampeon and the school
teacher. On Saturday the young wom-
an caused the young mans arrest,
charging him with the crime of rape.
Young Crampeon stoutly denied his
guilt. Judging from the evidence which
was submitted at the preliminary hear
ing. the father of the girl induced her
to trump up the charge. Several wit
nesses were subpoenaed to give testi-
mony at the trial, one of whom, Phil
Miller. was from Waterloo. The case
attracted considerable excitement at
Nashua, where the girl is we'll known.
