PERKINS AND CUMMINS TO
OPEN HEADQUARTERS SOON

see At, and talk it over. The Perkins
headquarters will be Parlor H, which
is commodious and which really is two
rooms, also. Stenographers, clerks,
ETC., will be installed and open house
will be the order of the day at both
headquarters.
1t was due to the fact that Sioux
City is so far from the center of the
state and the center Of political and
other activities that headquarters are
transferred here.
Will Not Redistriet.
.Redistricting has gone glimmering,
in the Judgment of most Of the posted
men around the legislature.
". The democrats are dead against it,
of course, and any bill that would be
seriously presented to the legislature
would have to divide the democratic
vote Of eight senators and twenty
members, or it would be doomed to
failure from the start. The combina-
ton of the democrats and standpat.
ters as to seating Whitmer is believ-
ed to extend to the primary, the edu.
cational board Of control and the re.
districting business, while on the 9th.
er hand the Cummins people are most
likely to stand with the democrats in
removing the circle from the ballot, as
they did in the senate when it came
up there.
So that it is believed that the stand
patters will effectively prevent the sec
ond district republicans from redis
tricting this year. 1t is common be
| lief that Judge Wade will be a candi
date for congress this summer, despite
his perfectly honest decision not tt
| be, for he cannot withstand the pres
sure of his friends which will be ire
mendous, with redistricting out of the
way. Leon Brown.

as he is known to every railroad man
in this section Of the country, left the
service last week, although from his
long custom of covering up his tracks,
the fact of his resignation did not be-
come known in this city until today.
Ben Buckley's resignation from the
service came, it is understood, as the
result of some slight differences which
he had with officials at Galesburg,
which was his headquarters. He has
long been CONTEMPLATING retirement in
to private life, and he is we'll able to
do so, having accumulated considera-
Bile wealth in the past years, which
now yields him neat income At
present he is owner Of Galesburg
hotel as well as other property over
the system.
The old detective was veteran Of
the civil war and wears the button
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Many years ago he conducted hack
and transfer line in Galesburg and
was also interested in the hotel bust
ness.
He went to work for the Burlington
as special policeman in 1881, and has
been with the company ever since. AS
special policeman he has also been a
sleuth, and in this department he
made clean record. Not only has
the company used him in the Gales
burg division but he has been used
nearly all over the entire system and
has gone to the remotest corners of
the United States to bring back his
man and many Of them have landed in
the penitentiaries at Fort Madison and
Joliet, where several Of them are still
serving terms.
Scarcely is there a station on the
Burlington in Iowa or Illinois but that
Ben has routed out some crime and
landed the miscreant in JAIL Track
ing down train wreckers and catching

ties.
His record as sleuth has been
clean one and he has often worked
in harmony with the local and county
authorities in helping unearth some
crime or mystery.

icle which was founded years ago by
his late father, John f. Duncombe, as
the organ of democracy in northern
Iowa. announces that henceforth his
paper will be independent in politics.
Mr.. Duncombe gives as his reason for
the change his desire to support Gov

do very well with democratic paper.
The change is surprise to politicians
here as the late John F.Duncombe was
the Iowa attorney for the Illinois Cen

LES MoiHSS, WdTCfi o.
State politics really will begin to
boil this week. The Perkins men will
open headquarters at the Slavery hotel
where the Cummins headquarters will
also be opened A. F. Call of Sioux
City, one of the most astute lawyers
in Iowa, will be in charge of the Per
kins headquarters, but the Cummins
folks have decided to dispense with the
one man manager business for this
campaign.
This marks a new era in politics in
Iowa, in many ways. In the first place
1t is the first time that a pre-conven-
tion campaign along this line ever was
organized. Formerly candidates visit
ed counties and tried to induce the
leaders to do business for them in the
various counties and all that sort of
thing, but no one ever heard of a
formal state headquarters being opened
publicly as If it were after the conven-
ton instead of before. And the change
from the one man management scheme
of former years to a sort Of free for
all, ill friends doing whatever they
think lest for the cause is something
new, too.
