THE CASE OF wHlTMER.

The Sheldon Mail, published at the
| home of the O'Brien county contested
seat case, decided last week by the
| legislature in favor of the democrat
! Whitmer, mas this to say of the mat
er:
"Mr. Whitmer removed from the
county to Sioux City, taking with him
his family and interesting himself
financially in that city, so that so far
as his non-residence was concerned,
that was forever established, and he
was disqualified to serve in a repre-
sentative capacity for this district.
Mr.. Youde was regularly and enthu-
siastically elected according to law
and the wishes of the Eightieth dis
trict, and he is and has been for years
an absolute resident of O'Brien coun-
| ty and a man of staunch integrity.
The people of the district are strong
in denouncing such an outrage and it
Is further stated that even in his home
town of Primghar, his former friends
and life long acquaintance are
strong in their denunciations for such
unreasonable and inconsiderate ac-
tons, not only on the part of Mr.
Whitmer, but the legislature"

PERKINS IN TILE ELEVENTH.
[Hon. E. d. Chassell in the LeMars
Sentinel
The candidacy of Hon. George D.
Perkins for the governorship has been
formally announced at Sioux City in
the Sioux City way. With Sioux City
properly lined up and put on record
by the boom managers, the next step
will be the subjugation of the sur
rounding counties.
Mr.. Perkins is an able gentleman,
life long republican and talented edi-
tor His numerous excellent qualities
of mind and heart and his long pub
lie service are thoroughly appreciated
by the writer hereof. Il
In the early part of last summer it.
was the hope of this paper that Mr..
Perkins might prove himself eligible
and be chosen as the next governor of
Iowa. When attacks We're made upon
Mr.. Perkins, when the webbing uncer-
tainty of his position on questions of
vital and immediate Importance to re-
publicanism was criticism, this paper
defended him. That defense was based
on the supposition that Mr.. Perkins
was in harmony with the republican
sentiment of northwest Iowa.
1t is with regret and chagrin that
this paper now admits that the. course
of Mr.. Perkins since that time as
shown by the general trend of his
newspaper utterances has been away
from rather than toward the people.
Eleventh district republicans have
favored advancement for many years.
This has been called progressive dis
trict, one in which loyalty to principles
is considered a stronger tie than 10y
atty to men,.
The leading corporation managers of
the state and their supporters are at
present and have been in the past
weeks the most active promoters of
the Perkins boom. AS a stream can
not flow higher than it's fountain head,
neither can a governor be greater than
his creators.
Had the Sioux City Journal been
published for the last six months by a
stranger in a distant part of the state
it's editor would hopelessly apply now
for the Eleventh district Endorsement,
backed by regiment of corporation
retainers

Editor .rimes-Republican In re-
gard to the primary bill as being the
proper thing or not, say, yes; give us
one, so drastic in it's terms as to for
ever free the voter from the baneful
influence of the party boss and cor
porate influence or patronage l. think
such bill ought to be enacted at once,
1 don't think there is one honest, think
ing voter in this township but desires
such law-I believe they would heart
lily endorse the action of our senator
and representative in voting for such
a law. Let us be freemen, worthy of
an American birthright."

Marshalltown, Jan. 81, 1905.
Editor Times-Republican. Dear Sir:
In reply to yours of the 26th inst,
I have not yet read draft of the bill
to enact a state primary election law,
but do think it would be the right
thing as ] believe in many cases the
manipulators OF the party leaders of
both or all political parties, which
have noticed take place where other
methods are in vogue. In this neigh
borhood we feel that we are capable
of going to the polls and voting for our
candidates as to attend packed cau-
Gus and have few men see that they
are sent as delegates to the conven-
tons to do just as they please, trading
and scherning and with the help of
others place in nomination candidates
which do not stand for what the vot-
ers think right. And I notice in other
counties where nlajorities are small
that it leads to trading and all sorts
of trickeIy unless it be the buying
of votes outright, which I have heard
of being done, urging in condonement
that your caucus delegates were trait
ors, promising anything to become
such, then cutting your threats in con-
vention. In view of these things i
believe that primary law should be
enacted.
Have been reading the primary laws
of various states which you are pub
fishing in the T.-R. Think Iowa can
enact one that will surpass any of
them. I am yours respectfully,
DAVID FERGUSON.

the cover of Mr.. Perkins leadership in
the hope that personal regard for the
leader and district pride would give
them as easy victory.
1t is up to the people to say whether
they will be for corporations or for
themselves.
The Sentinel does not presume to
speak for the voters of Plymouth
county, but it desires to be fair and
honest with it's readers, and therefore
states the case thus freely.

To the editor of the Times Republi-
can: The more I study the question
of a state wide primary election sys-
tenn the more thoroughly I am con-
yinced that it is just the right thina
altho I have been in favor of such a
plan for number of years. l am sur
prised to think there has not been more
of a decided tendency toward the es-
Establishment of such proposition long
ago, for the simple reason that it
would bring the people in closer touch
with their servants.
The reform is not a new one. Many
of the states have had such a law for
number of years and thru it's enact
ment have broken up many a corrupt
corporation ring.
I believe the voters of Iowa are in
telligent enough to nominate their can
lidate by direct vote. I also believe
that if the people of Iowa were given
chance to be heard on this important
reform measure there would be some
thing doing"
have endeavored to ascertain the
sentiment of number of voters in my
neighborhoQd in regard to this import
ant measure that is now before the
legislature and everyone of them ex-
pressed themselves as being heartily in
favor of such plan.
I would most earnestly advise that
our representatives be requested to use
their influence in securing the enact
ment Of the same.
Something must be done Immediate
ly or IA primary election law will not
be passed by the present legislature.
Use your pleasure in regard to maxi
ing this public.
Most sincerely,
