LET GAMBLERS ESCAPE
This Is the Charge Made Against
Members of the Fort Dodge Police
Force-Possible Department Scan

Special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodge, May 29.-The city police
force of Fort Dodge got another attack
by one of the local papers Monday
evening, when the paper stated that
the police had discovered a gambling
den and allowed eight men to escape.
The trouble is said to have started
about / o'clock Sunday morning, when
an enraged woman endeavored to
break down basement door in the
Fisher block by the use of an ak. She
stated that her husband was inside
gambling, and that he spent his saw
ings there, and had further morgaged
house left her by her father and had
spent the money in this place.
The woman was stopped by police
man from breaking in, according to
the story. He himself refused to enter
the place, and would not let her do so.
She shrieked for aid and people resid-
ing in flats near by telephoned for the
patrol.
When the patrol arrived the officers
surrounded the building, but no one
was arrested, and when newspaper
men made inquiries Monday morning
they stated that there was no gambling
there and that only two men were in
the place, and that these were engaged
in legitimate business.
Later in the day one of the reporters
made a thorough investigation of the
matter and found several people who
reside in flats near there, who testi-
fed that eight men at least ran out
from the place. while the police were
there, and escaped.
These peoples further claim to know
who many of those in the place were,
and in order to break up the business
have taken the trouble to let few
of the facts of the case become known.
The whole affair has aroused intense
indignation in the city. and may cause
a stir-up in the police department..

Des Moines, May 29.-Returns re-
ceived from Delaware county leave no
doubt of the decisive victory for Gov
ernor Cunln1ins In that county and the
delegation will be instructed for him.
The contest was one of the most bitter
of the campaign. The railroad interests
had representatives in the county more
than week before the primaries, ,plac
ing money with any one who could be
enticed to accept it with any sort of
promise of return in influence, labor
or votes. 1t is stated that as much as
$500 per day was distributed within
the county in an effort to secure a
Perkins delegation to- the state conven-
ton. A crippled boy was offered trans
portation over the c., b. & O.. or the
= c., M. & st. P. to any point he might
wish to go for his labor and influence
for one day. Men with rolls of bills in
their hands asked: set your price for
work in this ward or that ward
The township of Delaware, in which
the city of Manchester is located, Sc
lected Cumunins delegates with magni-
ward, which has but seven delegates.
This ward was lost to the Cummins
forces by twelve votes, owing to the
polling place being distant from the
business portion of the town, and the
severe showers which prevailed turnout
the entire time during which the polls
were open.
Senator Durham and his associates
were defeated for delegates to the coun-
ty convention from the Second ward
by large ma jority, and II. L. Ram of
the Manchester Press and his asso-
ciates were absolutely shut out in the
First ward. The result in the county
was signal victory for Governor Cum
uins. The Cunrnins forces control two-
thirds Of the entire delegation Of 154,
which constitutes the county conven-
ton to select delegates to the state con-
yention.
The date for holding the county con-
yention has not yet been fixed.
