GREAT TO BE CRAZY.

Gee! It's great to be crazy" The

it's better late than never i is fur

marvellous diagnosis of the prea ler's
condition, which the latter himself
sends to the Shell Rock News. The
diagnosis rebounds with technical eX-

enough PLAN English things ,he mat

Germ and arouse Il feeling ii gratitude
that he has fallen into tha hands of
d physician capable of curing him.
In the first place it appears that Rev.
Staebler's head is not on straight,
causing befuddling of the mind The
mastoid process, which a lie lhe parts
of the temporal bone immediately
back of the ear, have slipoea Gown
beneath his sidewhiskers, causing mn

cervcle vertebrae, the doc u" says,
have slipped forward and siiewise;
in fact, all of me seven bones of the
neck We're found out of place, causing
an abnormal condition known TO the
laity as ''rubberneck THIS de-
formation causes improper c,rcula-
ton, permitting the blood IL get into
the preachers brain only by fits and
starts, and the nerve gsaves to hesi-
tate and coaguate in the vicinity of
Adams apple, causing ups"undness
of mind. Exploring Still further. the
eminent physician iinIs that the
preachers whole spinal cord is warp
ed and twisted, something after the
fashion of a grapevine, interfering
with the functions of the liver and
kidneys and allowing uric acid. u
deposit in the brain, which is stl!l an
other thing calculated to proti'l.e IN

strange that Rev. Staebler wa; lot

THE CAMPAIGN TO DATE.

G# AS the I1meS-fLepuDlNdn HAS pre-
dicted repeatedly, the Cummins vic
tory in Black Hawk county practically
cinches the victory for The Cummins
men in this campaign. Cummins had
$50 instructed delegates. He gained
"a in Black Hawk, IA in Dubuque and
III in Poweshiek, making 740 to date.
Caucuses in Dallas already held prom
Use him that county with Is delegates,
placing his vote at 75S now in sight.
With Wapello, Des Moines, Chickasaw
and Jefferson counties all contested, 7S4
will constitute majority of the I'M
contested delegates, hence Cummins is
now within % of enough to organize
the convention. He will undoubtedly
carry Scott with S5, Marion Is, Howard
10, Buchanan Is, Winnestiek IS, Shelby
l3, Carroll 10, and Allanlakee IA.
BUT, can't Ed Hunter buy enough of
C.ummins instructed delegates to upset
rhis count? is the question asked of
every 'Cumnins man who does any fig
uring on the results. Yes, Ed. Hunter
can buy some delegates, and probably
will, but in an aggregation of 1,640, he
can't buy enough of them to control.
He Bought % from Dubuque county.
but the man who sold them could not
deliver when the scandal was noised
abroad, and Ed Hunters work has al
ready become SO notorious that there
will be men on the Clmmins dele
cations who will do as the two did on
Hawk convention, they will refuse to
be party to such sham eless transact
lions as Ed. Hunter will have to pro-
pose in order to steal the convention
from Cummins. This was the case at
Cedar Rapids five years ago.
There are mutterings that Blythe will
counties to keep them away from Cum
minis on organization. Men who are
in a position to know claim that this
has already been decided upon, but
even this scheme will not work, for
the reason that every contested dele
cation is as good as half a delegation
for Cummins. it cuts down the total
OF uncontested delegates and reduces
the number necessary to control on
organization by half that amount. If
Blythe should secure contests in only
half of the remaining Cummins coun-
ties and actually capture the other
half, Culnmins has enough today to
control on organization. If Blythe
should contest every one of the re-
naming eight Cummins counties Cum
Minis T5S delegates would constitute
majority of the uncontested delegates
in the convention. The fact that the
Washington crowd has laid down is
sufficient 10 show that Blythe and
Hunter will be unable To get the neces-
sary influence with which TO work any
highway robbery schemes

A calm, uMorejudicel view of the
situation therefore indicates clearly,
first. that the nti-lCunnins forces viii
have majority on the next state cen
trail committee: second, that they will
have majority on the credentials
committee the permanent organization
COMMITTEES and the resolutions COM
mittee of the state conventions: and
third, that they viii have a majority of
the delegates in the state convention.
This summary of points is conclusive
so far rs the present contest is con-
cerned. Governor CumminS is q de-
feated candidate and the nominee Of
the republican state convention to be
held in Des Moines on August Will
be one whose political beliefs Will be
in harmony with those of the men who
are 50 ably representing the state Of

with those of the president of the

THE LESSON IN PAGE.


Page county republicans did pc
culiar thing. Their recent county
convention was standpat even to the
extent of refusing to endorse by reso-
luton Senator Lewis, representative of
that county in the state senate Lewis
is progressive, tho not particularly a
Cummins man. He simply refuses to
wear the Blythe-C. b. & Q. collar.
Lewis is a candidate for reelection.
In the Page county primaries, held re-
Gently. he had a majority of the popu-
lar vote. and yet the county conven-
ton refused to endorse him. In other
words. the representatives of the peo-
pie set themselves up as greater than
the people who created them. That is
the way corporation and boss dictation
rules The bosses are opposed to the
primary because they know their pow
or is limited to the extent that the
power of the people is increased. The
lesson taught by the Page county pri-
maries and convention is commended
to the consideration Of those republic
cans who have been honestly opposing
the adoption of a statewide primary
system.
