Even before the joint debate of Saturday feel

old friends refused to speak they met Both
before and after the debate Saturday furious
arguments took place repeatedly in the midst
of surging crowds. The lineup had already
been made here and nothing said at the debate
could, have changed it.
The Cummins have charged repeatedly
that railroad mileage and money have been Of
fered for support Of Perkins, and they use
names in their charges, too. ..-
A remarkable feature Of the contest is the
part taken by L. e. Francis, local attorney for
the Rock Island railroad. Francis is enthu-
siastic supporter of Cumlnns and has been max
ing speeches in which he read a letter he re-
ceived from the authorities Of his railroad, sug-
costing that it would be detrimental to the rail-
road to have Cummins renominated and asking
him to support Perkins.

ures Of the state, has been involved in the
contest the Cummns leader in the county.

in the only caucuses that were held Saturday
night to choose delegates to county conventions,
so far as reported. These were In Emmett and
Calhoun counties.
In Emmett county a vigorous fight made
between the two factions, and the county had
been claimed for Perkins. The ten precincts
heard from gave Cumnlins solid delegation, the
vote in Baskerville being about two to one for
Perkins. The Perkins and Cummins supporter;
| almost came to blows at Esthervile before the

| In this county caucuses were held Saturda

for Perkins. There is no dissension in tn
convention being held this afternoon, as tn
Cummins supporters have made no attempt t
