Special to Times-Republcan
| Des Moines. Sept. 10.-The opening
of the republican campaign by Gov
ernor Cummirs at Emmetsburg, Will
be on September 81. instead of Sep
TENDER IS as heretofore reported. 1t
| is expected the governor will not re-
| turn from the west until a few days
before that date. The speech al Em-
metsburg will be the first official ut
terance Of the governor since the con-
vention. and there will be considerable
| interest taken, as 1t is expected he will
| take UP all the issues and make COM
plete answer to the fallacious argument
of Porter, the democratic candidate.
An interesting announcement just
made is that Ex-Governor Lartabee Will
take part in the campaign in behalf OF
Governor Cummins. Governor LARA
bee had definitely decided 10 retire
from politics permanently, but he has
been greatly, stirred up by the unfair
and unjust attacks of the standpat press
and the attempt of the Hawk Eye and
Sioux City Journal to defeat Cummtns
| for recollection as we'll as their willing
ness to endanger the success of the
party by such action, has aroused the
| former governor, and he will take the
stump in behalf of Cummins. 1t is
| likely he will deliver his first address
at Indianola. September 20.
One of the results of the fight be-
tween the standpatters and progress
sives in Wapello, was the defeat of Ep-
person, who had been representative
from wapello. Epperson was a pros
gressive, and his defeat was largely
| out of revenge for the fight the pro-
gressives made in the campaign for
! governor. Epperson made no particu-
lar effort to lire up the county for HIM
self. but worked hard for Governor
Cummins. Standpat newspapers over
the state made much of what they
termed progressive revenge in Black
Hawk county in the defeat OF Jarnagin,
who aspired to the nomination for rep
resentative. They probably will not
attempt to explain the defeat of Epper>
son. Eppersons claims to recognition
had much more substantial basis than
those of Jarnagin. In the case OF Jar
nagin he was q comparatively new.
man in the county and was rot at pres
ent member of the legislature.
Epperson, however,, was an cld-time
resident of Wapello county and had
been elected to fill a vacancy. He had
made good record in the legislature,
and in all fairness was entitled to re-
nomination. In the history of Iowa
politics there probably was never more
bitter revenge taken than was that
which defeated Epperson in the Wa
pello republican convention Saturday.
His successful opponent was E. j.
Moore, of Eldon, standpatter.
