Davenport Develops Unusual
Political Condition in With

WILL ELECT A REPUBLICAN
Democratic Candidate for Representa-

sassination Forced to Quit Race
Blow at German American Ali
ance.

Special to Times-Republlcan.
Davenport, Oct. 26.-Davenport has
developed another Haskell incident.
Henry Boettger, democratic candidate
for state representative has been forced
by his fellow democrats to withdraw
his name from the official ballot, ow-
ing to charges made and proved against
him by local republican paper. 1t
has been shown that Boettger was dis
charged from the Iowa National Guard
in 1892 for using language disrespect-
full to the president of the United
States. William Mckinley.
1t appears that on the day President
Mckinley was shot Boettger with
number of other guardsmen was play
ing cards in the Company B. armory at
Davenport. Some one entered the
room with the news of the assassina-
ton Boettger is claimed to have said,
using profane language, that it was a
good thing, he ought to have been shot
long ago.
The members of the company were
aroused. the matter was reported to the
officers, the charges investigated with
the result that Boettger was dis
charged from the guard. AT the last
primary Boettger was nominated for
representative.
He, among number of other demo-
cratic candidates was commended to
the voters by the German American AL
lance and all members were urged to
support him The alliance is supposed
to be a partisan organization, but
its officers are prominent democratic
politicians and it's affairs are dictated
by that party.
Many prominent citizens on the dis
closure of Boettger's record demanded
that the alliance withdraw it's en-
dorsement of his candidacy. They
have refused to do SO. but induced
Roettger to file his withdrawal papers.
1t is probable that his name will APP
pear on the official ballot. however, as
the law requires such withdrawals to
be filed with the secretary of state f1f-
teen days before election and the pa
pers were not flied until Saturday, ten
days before election.
