Des NIoines, March 27.-Progress'
i've republicans are insisting that the.
should not be left without representa-
ton in 'Cass county and as a reslll
Hon. C. A. Meredith, who was chair
man of the railroad committee of the
house last session of the legislature
has consented to again be candidate
Cass county politics incidentally is II
a. turmoil just at this time because
of the action Of the Cass County
Democrat which after attacking ane
exposing the actions and motives Of
LATE Young and others of that class
Of standpatters has gone over bodily
to that camp.
From the press dispatches 1t is un-
derstood that some of the stock of thu
newspaper changed hands and witt
this change it became a republican
newspaper instead of democratic
one 1t will be remembered that mucr
of the support for Perkins two years
ago was from democratic newspapers
that were induced to support him
The paper is now engaged in publish
ing nice things about Senator Allison
Some time ago before the campalg''
of 1906 the Atlantic Democrat. OF
which Charles F. Chase, a most Wig
orous writer, is editor, published ths
following concerning the campaigr
then opening. and concerning one La
fayette Young, who is now Chase'S
political bedfellow:
"The corporation kennel has beer
loosened and the yelping snarling
NANCY ours are hot on the trail of the
one man in the state of whom the cor
pcrations are afraid. and who has
dared to defy them to do their worst
fication to the people.
Foremost in the running with eyes
red and tongues protruding and drip
ping venom, are that delighted pair OF
guardians of the public veal, the very
Honorable Lafayette Young, and that
extremely aristocratic society swell and
sissy boy, james G. Rerryhill, who
would be willing to trade off all the
colored skeletons in the old Iowa City
family closet for the privilege of the
prefix of governor of Iowa has MADE
more than a catch word.
James G. .Berryhill's name should be
sufficient to damn any party or any
candidate with which it is connected
The editorial goes on at some further
length and then says: "The Democrat
has never learned diplomacy in deal
ing with such a condition as is pre-
sented to the people in this pursuit of
Governor Cummins by this latter-day
pair of siamese twins, tied together by
ligatures of greed and graft, and it is
compelled to say that the fact that
they are even permitted to assail and
assault and spew their vomit upon him
is the best evidence of the long suf-
fering and exceeding patience and
kindness of the people,
The paper is the same old newspaper
as of old with Chase as editor. The
name is now the Atlantic News where
as it formerly was the Atlantic Demo-
crat. 1t is wondered whether Chase
as editor of the News claims as did
Chase the editor Of the Democrat that
James G. Berryhill's name should be
sufficient to damn any party or any
candidate" Berryhill is supporting
Allison and so is Chase.
It is interesting to note after all the
mice things" that Chase has said
about Col. LATE Young that the first
published intelligence in Des Moines
that Chase had become a standpatter
was in the columns Of Young's paper
the Capital. On March II the Register
and Leader published that the paper
had changed from democratic to pro-
gressive republican, evidently jumping
to the conclusion that because the pa
per had supported Cummins it would
remain consistent and continue to sup
port him. On the afternoon Of that
day Young's paper, the Capital told
that it was to be standpat newspa-
per.
c. A. Meredith, Of Cass county, had
firmly determined not to again enter
the race for representative. He said
at the state convention on March 10
that he could not under any condition
consider it as 1t necessitated his aban-
doning his law practice till after the
and this he could not af-
ford to do. But the pressure of the
Of that county for the
able leadership of Meredith forced him
into the race and 1t is believed he will
be nominated If he returns Meredith
will be at the head Of one of the most
