THE LINN CONVENTION
Prosressives insisted That Delegates
Be Chosen From Among the Dele
gates to the County Convention
standpat Resolutions Accepted in
tho Interests Of Harmony and Out
of Respect for Rathbun.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids. May 11.--What APP
standpat victory in the Linn county
convention at Marion yesterday was in
reality nothing of the kind when the
facts in the situation are known. 1t Is
admitted by Cummins and anti-Cu
Minis people alike that Linn county has
been and is for Captain Rathbun for
governor, as long as he may desire
their votes. But that the delegates to
the state convention should be for
when Rathbun should decide he had no
chance for winning the nomination is
denied i'm spite of the claims Of the
federal crowd In this city. Yesterday
when standpat delegate made a mo-
ton that the chairman appoint certain
men as committee on resolutions and
motion to amend 1t was defeated, 1t
was due to the fact that many Of the
delegates did not understand the stu
alton. When adjournment came at
noon it looked as If there would be the
hottest fight ever seen In Linn county
convention, but during the noon hour,
and as result of many conferences,
compromise was reached. What
started the threatened trouble was
proposition made by the standpatters
to allow Captain Rath1oun to take his
own time to select delegates. This
aroused the wrath Of some Of the dele
gates, especially those elected after a
hard fight, as was the case at Mt. Ver-
non, where Captain kepler trimmed up
the standpatters and elected q solid
progressive delegation. When the
standpatters saw that fight was In
evitable If they attempted to carry out
such a program they made overtures
for compromise, and the result was a
resolution to allow Captain Rathbun
to select his own delegates, "said del-
egates to said convention to be select
ed from the delegates to this county
convention" The progressives insist
ed on the clause quoted above, and for
the sake of harmony made no fight on
the other resolutions, out Of respect to
Linn countys candidate for governor
1t can readily be seen why they would
do this. Captain Rathbun being a
radical standpatter on the tariff ques-
ton naturally his friends would not
wish to embarrass him by refusal to
adopt resolutions in accordance with
his views.
There is no doubt that many II not
all the delegates from Linn county will
be for Cummins whenever Captain
Rathbun is satisfied to- release them
from their instructions. Captain
RathIbun Owes nothing to the stand
patters, for they have opposed rather
than encouraged his candidacy ever
since Perkins was announced for the
governorship.
TNote.-In the T.-R.'s report Of
Thursday the statement was made that
the convention turned down the reso-
luton of the standpatters to appoint a
committee on resolutions by vote of
81 to 81. This was an error on the
part OF the correspondent, who evil
IDENTIFY r11istook the vote on the motion
to amend for the vote on the resolution.
AS a matter Of fact however, the vote
was not test Of strength, many Of
the delegates not understanding the
import Of the motion.
