in addition to discussion Of the new

armory rent.
When the state department paid for
rent and took a receipt. it thought 1t
was paying the entire bill. Soon after
a suit was started to collect the 9th

department was opened. There is

collect the balance of the rent from
Captain T'hurston, but the court held
that the entire membership of Com-,

and not the captain only. This neces-
stated a different suit In which all the
members of the company were made

Perkins Politicians in Heated Arsu-

Special 20 Tunes Republican.
Des Moines Oct. 5.-After heated
argument as to who should pay the
$500 auto bill for the car used by Ben
Salinger, Of Carroll, in the famous Car
roll county fight, Salinger withdrew
his demand and settled the bill himself
SAYING later that he was satisfied, ex-
cept with the size Of the bill.
Mr.. Salinger thought that the anti
Cummins headquarters, over which Mr..
w. F. PARROT Of Waterloo, partially
presided, should pay the bill. Mr.. Par
rott refused.
This famous auto has been the sub
ject of many conversations and stories
among the politicians since the pre-
convention campaign reached the Car
roll county point. 1t was stated once
that when the Perkins headquarters re-
fused to pay for Mr.. Salinger's auto
ride in behalf of Perkins, the owner
of the auto walked up to the headquar-
tiers, shook his bill under the nose of
Ed. Hunter and threatened to sue
Messrs. Blythe and Perkins and the
others unless 1t were paid instanter.
