Cedar Rapids, Feb. 8.-The accep-
tance of the candidacy of James w.
Good by the leading progressives of the
district means that there is to be a
clean-cut fight in this district between
the Cummins and anti-Cummins men.
That was the sentiment expressed at
the conference of standpatters held
here last night with forty or fifty in
attendance and every county in the dis
trict represented.
1t was held that to permit the NOM
ination and election of Good would be
equivalent to surrendering the district
to the progressives, and that this can
not be allowed. Senator TreWin is the
man whom a majority Of the leaders
want, but he said last night he was
not a candidate, but he reserved his
decision. Senator Whipple, of Benton
county, is the next most acceptable
man, but the friends of Murphy say
Whipple's candidacy might injure
Murphy's chances for the lieutenant
governorship, and they may make an
effort to keep him out of the race.
The fact that many standpatters in
every county in the district had pledged
Good their support previous to the
withdrawal of Cousins from the race
has complicated matters and will have
a tendency to discourage some who
would otherwise have been glad to en-
ter the race.
Such men as Senator Stuckslager,
one Of the leading standpatters in the
last legislature. have been among the
first to sign Mr.. Goods petition, and
while the fight will be- on tightly
drawn lines as between the opposing
candidates, Good is assured of strong
following among Cousins former sup

Dubuque, Ia, Feb. S.-The report OF
the Dubuque county grand jury yester-
day declared that tho much time had
been consumed in investigating the
lwaterworks scandal it had been inn
possible to unearth evidence warrants
ing indictments against the old trus-
tees. But in strong terms the report
declared that the irregularities and
foolish extravaganza, if not actually
criminal, were strongly and vigorously
condemned. 1t was shown that mem-
bers of the city council and other Off
cials until two years ago failed to pay
any water tax Then suddenly the cash
book shows grand rush to liqutdate.
The investigation is still open and is
likely to be taken up to the next grand
jury. The present body stated that
one man, Macarthur, now in the penl-
tentiary," could, if he would, give evil
dence that would likely convict higher
officials.
