The accident was caused by spread

in control of the progressive element

senting the sentiment of the county
was chosen to go to the state and dis
trict conventions. The contest as far
as made had previously been decided
in the caucuses and the standpatters
made no fight in the convention, con-
tenting themselves with voting for an
other set Of delegates. The progress

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil con-
tanned the following knock against har-
mony: Compromise delegations elect
ed to go to the state republican con-
vention at Des Moines, do not appeal
to many republicans of the state. Fac
tional lights should be settled before
county conventions are held and the
delegates elected to these conventions
should stand for some one candidate.
Harmony in state politics cannot be
Secured by sending divided delegations
to the state convention.
In the light of the fact that the
state convention is called to take no
action whatever on state affairs and In
the light of the fact that such stand
pat newspapers as the Nonpareil have
for years been protesting to be op-
posed to factionalism and In favor OF
harmony this declaration looks funny.
IT may or may not be significant
that the next item in the column In
which this appeared in the Nonpareil
was the announcement of the candi-
dacy of Ernest e. Hart for reelection
as national committeeman.
Standpat newspapers to some ex-
tent were jubiant over the fact that
the standpatters carried Madison
county at the convention held some
few days ago An investigation dis
closes that the standpatters in that
county who control the central COM
mittee cid not even go thru the form
ality of calling caucuses to allow the
people even a semblance of voice in
affairs The county central commit

ALLISON MEN AFRAID
Anticipating Trouble, Ask Police Pro-

Special 20 T!nes-Republican,
Burlington, March 7.-'rrouble is an
ticipated at the republican county con-
vention today . There is bitter feeling
between the Cummins and Allison
men. The latter have asked the police
to provide protection. Ii the progress
sives have two contesting delegations
they will carry the day. Eliminating
the contested delegations, the stand
patters have a majority, and the con-
vention will be called by Chairman
Holsteen, of the county central COM
mittee of the standpattcrs 1t is ex-
pected that Holsteen will rule out the
contesting delegations, which will pre-
cipitate trouble. In any event, there is
bound to be two conventions, with the
chances in favor of the progressiveS
leading the bolt The present figures
are Allison 76. Cummins 46, and con-
testing 80.
