Sigourney, June 27.-lrhe senatorial
convention of the Twelfth district,
which consists of Poweshiek and Keo-
kuk counties, was held here today pur-
suant to the call. c. c. Latter, chair
man of the Keokuk central committee,
called the convention to order and
named II. Il. Phelps, OF Sigourney, and
r. G. Norris, of Grinnell, temporary
chairman and secretary, respectively.
The temporary organization was later
made permanent.
on motion OF Judge John i. Scott,
of Brooklyn, resolutions We're dispensed
with because of the fact that the two
counties differ widely on the present
state issues. and the convention pro-
ceeded to the nomination of candi-
date for senator. Judge Scott then
presented the name Of DR.. e. w. Clark,
of Grlnnell, for nomination. and there
being no candidate from keokuk and
Clark having the Poweshiek delega-
cation solid, he was nominated by ac-
clamation. Keokuk county presented
no candidate for the reason that the
two counties have followed the rule Of
alternately naming jhe senator, and
Senator Brooks, of keokuk county, Is
the present incumbent.

NO CONTEST in LEE
A Sample Of tho Misrepresentation OF
the Standpat Press in lowa-cum-
minis Figures JuseIed.

Special to Times IR epublicans
Dies Moines, June 2T.--A fair sample
Of the kind of misrepresentation which
Is being fed to the people of Iowa just
now, was given in the standpat news
papers of Monday morning. Thous-
ands of copies Of these papers were
distributed in Des Moines free by Ed
Hunter and his corps of workers at the
Perkins headquarters. They contain
ed statement by Manager Hunter
over the signature of w. f. Parrot
Perkins campaign and also some state-
ments concerning the standing of the
candidates to date. In this last state
ment is contained the most garing
falsehoods which 1t is possible to con-
ceive of. The statement Is made that
the Cummins press bureau" sent out
a statement that Cummins has in all
1904 votes and there follows what
purports to be an explanation of tho
manner In which the bureau makes
this computation which results in this
total for Cummins. In this 1T is stated
that the Cummins people claim Lee
county, and it is also stated that they
claim Scott, Jasper, Wapello, Audubon,
Carroll and Chickasaw, all contested
by Cummins."
The fact is that the statement from
the headquarters of Governor Cum
minis for this week, gives him a total
of S57 votes with 80 contested and A
yet to be chosen.
There has never been sent out by
anyone having the remotest connection
whatever with the campaign of Gov
ernor Cummins or being in touch with
the political situation from the Cum
Minis standpoint, any such statement
which is alleged to have been sent
out by what these papers call 1.-The
Cummins' Press Bureau"
There has never been any claim by
anyone connected in any way with the
Cummins campaign, that Lee county is
rightly in the Cummins column. There
is no pretense anywhere that the Cum
Minis people actually carried Lee coun-
ty At one time Lee county was con-
sidered good fighting ground by the
Cummins people. They believe now
that there is sufficient progressive
sentiment in Lee county to carry the
county If the local bosses there would
permit secret ballot upon the ques-
ton. But when it was seen that the
plan was to control the county by
holding caucuses under conditions for
bidding a fair expression Of the SEN
timent Of the people, the Cummins peo-
pie long ago abandoned Lee county.
1t is not true that Scott county is
Contested by Cummins" 1t Is not
true Of Audubon, Carroll nor some of
the others If there are contests in
these counties they must come from
the Perkins people and from them
alone. This outrageous misrepresenta-
ton Of the political situation was
given much prominence in the columns
of the Sioux City Journal which has
been circulated in Des Moines and
presumably in other parts of the state
by Ed Hunter and his associates.

of railroads had not been raised by the
governor when other property was
considered and the wonder Is what
these men will say to the executive
council at the hearings. For years
they have been claiming that the as
sessments are too high. Among public
citizens generally, however, as based
on the claims of the Hunter managers
of Perkins campaign there is quite n
unanimity Of belief that $l5.OOO.oOo
would be the proper increase this year,
In addition to the claims of the rail-
road attorneys there are the statements
of the railroads made this year to the
executive council which show the
largest increase in earnings that has
ever been reported, which further ar
CUES for very large increase this year
in tho assessment.

There is Of course no surety that the
council will add exactly that amount

THAT 10 THE GENERAL FEELING
IN TRADE CIRCLES.
Heavy Crop Yields and the Buoyaney
In Iron and Steel Industry
Main Factors.

New York, Aug 4.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Sentiment In general seems 20 have
become decidedly more optimistic, prac-
tical assurances of heavy crop yields,
the growing buoyancy of the iron and
steel industry and the relatively heavy
volume of orders booked in general
lines for fall and winter requirements
being the principal stimuli. Iron and
steel plants, where not actually en-.
gagged In making repairs, are being
worked to their utmost capacity and
the action of the principal producer in
resuming dividends on it's common
stock exerted salutary effect on sen
timent. Some steel mills have booked
their entire capacity for many months
ahead and if the usual fall business
has not been discounted by the mid
summer bookings the question of de-
liveries will become a pressing one.
The essential soundness of mercantile
trade is testified to by the July
and seven months returns of failures
to Bradstreet's, which point to fewer
failures and smaller liabilities than in
any but the best of years. Shipments
of fall and winter goods are beginning,
and although the jobbing trade reflects
midsummer influences, more business
is being done than ordinarily.

Wheat Worth Fifty Million Dollars and
Corn sixty-Five Million.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 4.-.The
wheat crop of Kansas has turned out
far beyond the expectations of any
one who attempted, prior to its har-
vest to make estimates of the output
The threshing has now gone far
enough to indicate that the state has
raised about 90,00O,0OO bushels OF
wheat, or 100000 more than in
1905, and, with one exception, the
largest crop that Kansas ever pro-
duced. The final returns may raise
the estimate above the crop of 1903.
which, as reported by Secretary Co
burn, was 94,0OO,0OO bushels Not
more than third of the crop has been
threshed but the estimates are based
on the threshing which has been
done.
There are limited portions Of Kan
sas which need rain, but fully 80 per
cent of the state has ample moisture
for present needs, and the frequency
of rains during July give promise that
the season will continue to supply am
pie precipitation to produce a large
crop of corn. At the present market
values, this years wheat crop is worth
S50,0O0,000 to the farmers of Kansas.
The corn crop of Kansas promises to
be about 2oO,OOO,O0O bushels, worth
about S65,O00,O00 to the farmers.
