The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1906-05-24


the committee, and James A. Dewitt
secretary of the meeting. Following
the opening OIL the meeting delegations
from all counties except those from
Wapello were approved and the com.
mittee proceeded to the determination
of the Wapello county contest.
Representing the Cummins dele
gates, c. A. rwhitmore presented the
claims Of that delegation to recogni-
ton, while the Perkins contestants
were represented by ]. T. hackwor..l,
Presentations were made in speeches
limited by the committee to twenty
minutes each. The contest hinged en-
tirely upon a contested delegation
from the second ward OF O,Lumwa, in
which rested the control of the coun-
ty convention. Twelve contested vot-
ers were among those at the conven-
ton and investigation warranted the
credentials committee in throwing out
of the delegation which had been by
them elected.
Charges of seizing convention con,
troll by unfair means were made by
representatives of both sides. After
patient hearing of the question it
was moved by Roberts of Monroe that
the delegates selected by the regular
convention in Wapello county be seat
ed. The committee expressed no de-
termination of the merits of the con-
troversy, but held that the Cummins
delegation itself seemed to have rec
ognized the regular convention by
members serving upon the committee
on credentials, and that they would
not go back of the action of the con-
vention. 4-
