of prices The railroads are circulating
a handbill on which is printed in large
letters the prices of various farm pro-
ducts in 1896 and in 1906. The pur-
pose is to show how awful it would be If
in Iowa, for we might possibly get back
to the 1896 standard. But the fact that
Gun Minis is governor now when prices
are high and he certainly was not gov
ernor when prices We're at low ebb
rather offsets the claim. Just what re-
lation there may be to prices and the
republican administration of the affairs
of Iowa remains to be explained. But
this is one of the things on which the
Blythe exploitation bureau depends to
carry Story county for railroad in
tereStS.
Pottawattamie Situation.
The situation in Pottawattamie re-
mains anomalous. The bosses seem to
have failed in their scheme to get Per-
kins and Herriott into joint debate or
to appear together as representing the
one thing which they are alleged to
have In common, but they are taking
turn about at it in the small meetings
in the county. One night Perkins roastS
the state administration and Herriott
takes his medicine from the rear seats
and the next might Herriott denounces
those who have squinted at tariff re-
duction and Perkins blindly smiles as
he thinks of how he has so many times
advocated tariff changes.
The fight is being carried now into
Wright, Hardin, Franklin. Poweshiek,
Jasper and many other counties.
The progreSsives are making an earn
est fight all along the line For the
present the fighting is largely in the
Blythe country This gives the Blythe
men chance to do some shouting But
thus far there has been no loss of any
of the counties depended on to nomi-
nate Cummins. In the great northern
Iowa region where republican MAORI
ties are large and the farmers pre-
dominate, the Perkins candidacy has
failed to command respect. In the
democratic counties and those along
the Blythe road it has been found prac-
tically impossible to break the standpat
hold Wapello and Union were excep-
tions.
In the conventions and primaries
schedules for tomorrow it is claimed
that Cummins will carry Iowa with
fighting chance in Cass, Pottawattanlie,
Delaware and Warren, while Perkins
Will get all the rest.

FIGHTING FOR DELAWARE.
Standpatters Making Desperate Eff
fort to Capture the County.

Specla! 20 Tines Kepu blican
Des Moines. May Eek Senator j.
H. Trewin, Cyrenus Cole, Joe Toul-
ouse and LATE Young have all been
turned loose on Delaware county with
instructions to land it in the Blythe
column. They are there this week in
full force and are making desperate
efforts to deliver the county. The ac-
ton of the rrogressives at the conven-
ton TO select congressional delegates
at which time the progressives Won
endorsed Cummins and took broad
stand aroused the standpatters. Sem
ator Durham and others of the county
sent out the call for aid in order to
save the county from Cummins." The
progressives are taking care of the
fight themselves with no aid except
from Dairy Commissioner Wright. who
is a resident of the county. LATE
Young speaks in the county tonight
at Manchester. Delaware county is
one of the storm centers this week. the
primaries having been called for Sat
urday. There is little question but
that the sentiment of a majority Of
the people in Delaware county is with
the progressive movement, but the des-
perate efforts being made under the
direction of Blythe puts the county
in the doubtful column, even tho it
has once this year gone for the pro-
gressive movement
