Railroad Agents Attempt to
Double Cross" the County
Candidates For Office
OFFER OF WORKERS MADE
In Return for standpat Workers the
County Candidates Were to Throw
Their Entire Strength to the Per-
kins Ticket for Governor in Polk
county-It Didn't Work.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 3O.-A plan to
carry Polk county, the home of Gov
ernor Cummins, for George D. Perkins
was uncovered late Saturday night by
one of the friends of Governor Cum
minis. The plan was conceived in the
brain of Edward H. Hunter, political
agent in Des Moines for the Burling-
i ton railroad, and chief railroad lobby
list for dozen sessions of the legis-
lature. 1t was discovered by w. N.
Jordan, candidate for county attorney.
Thru his political workers, Ed. H.
Hunter approached the various candi-
dates for county offices who will be
voted upon at the primaries in this
county tomorrow. Hunter offered to
put worker in every precinct of the
county for them if they would
give their support and the
support of their workers for
the standpat ticket. Such deal
was made with one candidate for
county attorney. and after the deal
was concluded the same offer was
made to another candidate for the same
office, thus double crossing" the cam
didates.
When the offer was made to W. N.
Jordan, a candidate for county attor-
ney, he promised to think it over, and
left Hunters office. On going thru
the outer office he saw the list Of
workers furnished by one of the other
candidates for county attorney lying on
a table.
The proposition of Hunter made to
Mr.. Jordan was that in return for the
support of Jordan and Jordan's work
ers for the complete standpat ticket
from Perkins down, Hunter would give
the support of the entire standpat ma
chine for Jordan for county attorney
and would put a worker in every pre-
cinct in the county for Jordan. An in
vestigation and inquiry soon disclosed
that identically the same proposition
had been made to practically every
candidate for a county office. The
proposition was made to three candi-
dates for district judge and all the
candidates for county attorney, re-
corder and clerk and coroner.
The plan, if it had not been dis
closed, would have resulted, in every
candidate for county office and all
of his workers voting and working for
Perkins. AS few of the candidates
could afford to have workers in every
precinct, the proposition was f1atter-
ing. The results would have been that
a score of workers in every precinct in
the city and county would have been
working for Perkins, while Hunter
would have had one worker in each
precinct. That one worker could not
work for more than one candidate for
each office, and thus the promise of
Hunter would have been impossible of
fulfillment.
