Sioux City, Feb. Resolved, Tha'
the ministers of Sioux City are in ia
yor of suppressng gambling in Sioux
CITY. and are in favor of enforcing the
laws we have.
Resolved, That every minister of
Sioux City be requested to preach next
Sunday on Civic Righteousness with
special emphasis on the suppression OF
gambling and the enforcement of the
law
With the passing of the above res
olutions in star chamber" session OF
the members of the Sioux City Minis
Y. M. C. A., the ministers inaugurated
their campaign for the wiping out OF
vice in Sioux City. They are going in
to the spring campaign in dead earn
est, and the first gun will be fired
Sunday, when, if the churches abide by
the decision of the meeting, sermons
of protest will be delivered from every
pulpit.
All was not harmony in the meeting
of the association. When the news
paper men made an effort to gain adj
mission to the star chamber session,
they were refused, and it was the In
tention of the pastors to keep the
above two resolutions a secret. The
association has held other star cham
her" sessions and at one time talked OF
barring reporters from their meetings
for all time to come. But then, as
now. wiser counsel prevailed and after
much discussion 1t was voted to give
the resolutions to the press.
There were other sensational
"stunts" among the ministers. AT the
regular meeting Harry Maxwell, the
singing evangelist, who has been con-
Quoting meetings in Sioux City, was
given permission to speak. In opening
his address he stated to the ministers
that he had been censured by many
for his utterances at the mems meeting
in the Y. NJ. C. A. Sunday afternoon
when he said that Sioux City was the
wickedest city that he was ever in,
even worse than Butte, Mont.
"And 1 wish to reaffirm my criticism
on this city,s Immortality" he said. He
bitterly denounced the gross imrnor-
atty of Sioux City, as he did Sun
day. Mr. Maxwell also presented tbs
claims of the literature of the Moody
Bible institute of Chicago.
Sawyer is Much Favored.
The determination of the ministers
to actively engage in the political cam
paign this year, has been expected for
some time. 1t was stated at the time
the representatives Of the Anti-Saloon
league appeared here several weeks
ago, that their coming had no bearing
on the political situation, but interest
has been more pronounced since their
visit.
p. A. Sawyer is said to be the candi-
date most favored by the ministers. He
has been asked to occupy the pulpit
of the First Congregational church in
behalf Of the principles which he adj
vocates.

Sentiment in Emmett County In
creased Rapidly Since Gov
ernor's Announcement
TO CARRY COUNTRY WITH EASE
Principal Fight to Be Made on Rep
acknowledgements Need Of
County Republican Newspaper to
Espouse Their cause-chase Out for
Senator.

Baskerville, Feb. 2O.-The Cummins
sentiment has increased rapidly in this
county since the formal an
nouncement of the governor that he
would stand as candidate for the re-
publican nomination for reelection.
From reports received from the vari-
Gus towns of the county it is evident
that the Cummins sentiment is strong,
ing into consideration the fact that the
standpatters control the county central
committee and the county chairman is
strong Perkins admirer
Emmett county would naturally be on
the Cummins side if a primary cleo
ton was held instead of the old-time
packed caucus" The Perkins crowd
in this county are recognized generals
and while not in the majority possibly
they might out general the opposition
in a caucus. Postmaster Whelan, At
'torney c. w. Grim, George c. Allen
and ex-senator Bachman are the lead
ers on the Perkins side.
All that the progressives need in this
county is republican newspaper to
espouse their cause and they can de-
liver the delegation to Mr.. CumminS
at the coming republican state conven-
ton. Attorney N. ]. Lee and many Of
the county and city officials are the
leaders of the Cummins faction in this
county, and from the present outlook
,,,i11 f,,1 tn, hot, AffN tic fn
deliver the delegation at the state con-
vention.
The principal fight will be made on
representative. Mack J. Groves, DEM
ocrat and the man who won an over
whelming victory when he ran for
mayor of Estherville year ago and
was elected over the republican NOM
inee by a majority of nearly 300, will
be the democratic nominee and will
give the republican candidate a hard
chase for election. The probability is
the coming fall election will be one of
the most exciting ever held in Emmett
county.
While it is regarded as settled that
Cummins will carry the county with
case, the anti-Cummins leaders will no
doubt produce candidate for repre-
sentative. No one has yet been an
nounced from either side Of the con-
troversy and it is believed that the
anti Cummins crowd are somewhat at
loss for candidate who may COM
pete with any degree of success for a
seat in the lower house This faction
attempted to out-caucus Representa-
tive Robinson at the last election and
after the nomination proceeded to at
tempt revenge by working sentiment
in favor of the democratic nominee as
against Mr.. Robinson. However, this
attempt to support a democratic cam
didate met with dismal failure and the
only hope now remaining is for an an
ti-Cummins candidate of sufficient
strength to win the nomination.

PIONEER KILLED BY A HORSE.
William M. Miles Dies From Injurie.
at Lake City

Lake City, Feb. 2O.-William M.
Miles, who was injured by horse
Wednesday evening, died as the result
of his injuries He did not regain
consciousness after his injury and it
will never be known just how it hap
pened.
Mr.. Miles was one of the early set
tiers of his community, having been a
resident of this place over forty years,
coming to this state from Michigan
with his brother, Peter S. Miles, in
the fall of 1865, when he settled on a
farm near the place of his death.
Mr.. Miles at one time was quite ac-
tive in the politics of this community,
having been one of the early sheriffs
of this county. He was holding that
office at the time of the attempted
burglary of the county treasurer's Of
fee in 1868 and took part in the arrests
which followed that attempt.

Webster City Man Will Oppose Son.

Webster City, Feb. 20--The Cum
minis and anti-Cummins fight in the
Thirty Iowa senatorial dis
trict was started in this city yesterday
when the name of Hon. d. G. Chase
coed Senator Hartshorn of Clarion,
who now represents the district. The
counties in this district are Hamilton,
Hardin and Wright. Since each one
Of these counties is overwhelmingly
with the governor it is felt that the
district should be represented by some
vigorous exponent whose republican,
ism is Of the Cummins kind and whose
ability would make him a power in the
senate. The Freeman-Tribune last
evening announced the candidacy of
Mr.. Chase as spontaneous call from
the people of Hamilton county to enter
the lists and assume his place in the
forefront Of the Cummins cohorts.
Says this paper:
"The Freeman Tribune believes
Hamilton county should have can
didate for state senator this year. The
sentiment in the district is in harmony
with the position of Governor Cum
minis and the people should see to it
that man capable and willing to help
carry out the policies inaugurated by
the governor is sent to the senate. The
fight to wrest the politics of the state
from corporate domination, begun five
years ago, must be carried forward
and the Thirty seventh senatorial dis
trict should send man to Des Moines
who will reflect the sentiment of the
district and who will WELD wide influ-
ence on the side of the people.
webster City has such man. We
refer to Hon. D. c. Chase. Mr.. Chase
served four years in the house and
made a record alike creditable to him
self and to Hamilton county. He is a
warm personal friend of Governor
Cummins and is in hearty accord with
the principles and policies advocated
by the governor. His services in the
senate would be Of much value at this
time and there is no man in the dis
trict better equipped to carry forward
the peoples fight In the upper house Of
the state legislature"
