Des Moines. Sept. 27.-Tho the pro-
gressives have given no thought of
opening their campaign for weeks to
come information contained in the
standpflt newspapers discloses the fact
that the standpatters have opened their
campaign and that the same element
almost to the man that was back or
Hon. George ID. Perkins is getting back
of Senator William Is. Allison.
Not long ago Julian Richards out
lined the campaign of misrepresenta-
ton that it is proposed to make against
Cummins in the coming campaign ana
the standpat press since has taken
it's cue and is lining things up with
the intention IL Cummins wins the
primaries or boiling and electing the
democratic members of the legislature.
nouncelnent comes thru the Cherokee
Times that Dell Huntoon has been
there working for Allison Dell Hun
toon is professional lobbyist for the
insurance interests and the saloon In
terests and has worked thru several
sessions of the Iowa legislature.
Many months ago when Senator Dol
liver had the rate bill up in congress
he made speech on the floor Of the
senate in which he told of the amount
of campaign funds the railroads had
tn 6afaat Roosevelt
and the rate bill Soon after that some
of that fund was traced to Iowa. Ed
Hunter had opened up an office close
to his own in Manhattan block In this
city and had hired an obscure lawyer
by the name of Garrison to allow the
use of his name in signing the cores
pondence Ed Hunters bank was CIV
en- as reference for the financial stand
ing of Garrison and he proceeded to
try to induce the newspapers to print
stuff against the rate bill for which
they were to be paid out of the earn
paign fund Dolliver mentioned.
Soon after when the Perkins cam
Iaign was opened Hunter was put at
the head and Julian Richards and Dell
Eiuntoon were working under him.
Now Richards and Huntoon are an
nounced as being in the field at work
fer the election of Senator Allison.
Politicians are asking how far back
it traces, this year. AS yet Ed Hun
ter has not become conspicuous in the
fight but it is remembered that in the
Perkins campaign he directed the cam
paign for weeks from his own office by
telephone under the idea that the pub
lie would not catch on. After the
newspapers had thoroughly exposed it,
he went over to the Perkins rooms in
the Savery and slept and took his
meals in the rooms till near the close
of the campaign.
1t was intimated during the early
part of the year that the coming con-
would be a dignified contest and would
be decided on the broad question of
the ability Of the two men to serve
the state in the capacity of United
States senator. Now politicians are
beginning to express doubts. They say
it looks very much as tho the rem
nant of the old guard that has been
fighting the battles for the corpora
tions under Blythes leadership for
years was going to get back of Sena-
tor Allison and fight for him. They
are as yet loath to admit that Allison
is allowing these corporation followers
to conduct his campaign for him.
