Des Moines, Iowa, Jan: 25.--The gerrymander
of the second and fifth Iowa congressional dis
tricts, introduced by Representative G. A. Cum
lnings in the house, is creating great excite
nent among politicians, especially the stand
patters. The bill is aimed directly at Congress-
man Robert Cousins Of Upton, representative
from the fifth, who will be thrown over into
the second district If the gerrymander passes.
So many political compiled lions arise from the
measure that conferences were hurriedly held
in the hotel Hobbies, and it is reported that
both Cousins and Secretary L. NJ. Shaw will be
on their way to Des Moines within twenty four
hours. 4 big Cousins delegation from Cedar
Rapids and Upton will come to Des Moines and
attempt to defeat the measure. In the second

for congress lives, would by the provision of
the proposed measure be thrown over into a
