THE CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA

The Jeffersonian rejoices in the fact
that in the first heat" of the race In
Florida, Governor N. b. Broward and,
Hon. John N. G. Stockton received
such a magnificent vote. The final
trial of strength is now on between
those who led in the preliminary con-
test In few weeks we shall know
whether Gov. Broward goes to the
senate and whether Mr.. Stockton be-
comes governor.
We sincerely hope that both viii
win. We know them both and con-
slider them two of the best men in this
Union. For many years they have
stood manfully for the rights Of the
common people of Florida against the
corrupt rule of ravenous corporations.
No state has had a better chief exS
eortive than Florida found i'm Cover
nCr Broward, and no state will have
a better senator than she will have IL
she chooses him for that place.
AS to Mr.. Stockton, his career shows
how much he has sacrificed for those
principles of genuine democracy
which are now becoming predominant
throughout the country, but whose
pioneers have suffered so much per-.
secution, Misrepresentation and ostra-
cism.

Boone, May 2S.-Justice r. Doran,
member of the legislature from Boone
county, who voted for Delivers re-
election the last time, today makes
some startling statements, about Sen
ator Dolliver and Delivers professed
friendship for Governor Cummins.
Doran today in signed communica-
ton to the Boone News Republican,
tells of conversation with Dolliver
in which the latter said that Cummins
had few better friends ia the country
today than he, Dolliver. Mr. Doran
also tells of a conversation OF Sena-
tor Gilliland, the leader of the stand
patters in the senate, when Dolliver
was re- elected, in which he, Gilliland,
said that he was for Deliver at one
time, but no more. Mr.. Doran also
tells how thirty standpatters got to-
gether and tried to create a sentiment
for Cummins or any other man in the
state, just so Dolliver got the hooks.
The article is interesting at this time
and is given below in full:

he is delivering now in this state, don't

It was. But we do desire toncaH the
attention Of the paper publishing the

that for truth and facts it equals about
all the same dope which is being hand
ed out in the present campaign. The
meeting was not advertised loudly and
persistently as the article states, and
as a truth and fact, It was not known
whether or not Senator Cheshire, who
was promised for the date, could fill
the same, and whether or not it would
be possible to have the meeting at all.
Senator Cheshire's motner was very
low in Des Moines,, (and we have mo-
ticed since yesterday that she has
passed away and on this account the
matter was held up and no advertise
ment of any nature given before Mon
day evening, and until that time it was
not known here whether or not the date
would be filled. Senator Berry came

RAILROAD VETERANS PART.
Have Had Possession Of Des Moines
for Two joyous Days.

for Two Joyous Days.
Des Moines, May 2S.--Handshakes OF
welcome which for two days had glad
dened the hearts of 1000 veteran rail-
road men Of Iowa were changed last
night into fareWells as the old timers,
group after group, boarded trains LOT
their homes which are scattered in ev-
cry state in the union.
For two days the veterans had had
possession of the city. They had been
tenant governor. They had sat togeth-
er for hours, men who had not seen
each other for more than score OF
years, and recounted old and interest
ing tales. They had come to Des
Moines with the same spirit that causes
old soldiers to rally around the stars
and stripes. The call of the officers OF
the Iowa Railway club was sufficient
to bring them from homes, some OF
them more than a thousand miles
away, to spend two days with each
other in the capital city of the state in
which they had played a part in estab-
fishing a great railroad system.
The reunion in every respect was a
grand success. 1t was successful to
such a measure that it is being con-
sidered by the officers OF the Iowa
Railway club to make the convention
an annual affair. The number of old
timers who came to the city excelled
all expectations Of those who We're in
charge of arrangements, and was a
fitting reward for the hard work OF
those who brought about the great
meeting.
Perhaps the most affecting gather
ing of the veterans was at the fair
grounds at noon yesterday, when the
old timers met and ate the reunion
lunch. OFFICIALS and employees alike
sat together and broke bread, bearing
in mind all the time the great tie by
which they are bound together, the fact
that they are all railroad men.

and when the meeting
had adjourned, the progressives MADE
a proposition to- the standpatters to
pay all it's expenses.
Those standpatters who expected
Secretary Wilson to engage in a red
hot factional discussion of senatorial
politics were much disappointed. Those
who expected him to bring a special
message from President Roosevelt in
dorsing the standpat fight for Senator
Allison, were likewise disappointed.
Secretary Wilson specifically declared
that he intended to avoid factionalism.
He Endorsed Congressman Hepburn,
and he paid a brief tribute to IoWa's
senior senator, as a matter of per-
sonal appreciation, he said, but he
went no further.
congressman Hepburn has helped
me in many important fights for agri-
cultural appropriations" said Secretary
Wilson. II have said that If ever the
opportunity came, I would help HIM.
owe him a day in harvest, and that is
why am here"
Continuing, Secretary Wilson spoke
in brief tribute to the country of both
Allison and Hepburn. He declared that
they were big men and influential men,
and entitled to the generous considera-
ton of the people of their state. "They
are both old men now" he said, grown
old in service. am an old man, too,
and I'm going to vote for Senator AL
lison."
But" added Secretary Wilson, Il
am not saying word against Governor
Cummins. l am not recognizing any
faction. l am republican, and IT
Governor Cummins is nominated I'll
stump the state for him. I do not want
to be understood as criticising any
Iowa man. / am taking no part in any
fractional fight"
What Secretary Wilson said in the
way of politics occupied not to exceed
ten minutes of the sixty minutes that
he spoke. The other fifty minutes he
devoted exclusively to a discussion of
the work of the agricultural depart
ment He told his audience about the
efforts of the department to preserve
the forests The told Of the benefits to
come to the country from the use of
denatured alcohol; he described the
departments fight against the boil
weevil in the south and against ticks
and other pests among cattle, and he
urged that heed be given to the warn
ing recently issued at the conference
of governors at Washington for the
conservation of the countrys natural
resources.

OFFICERS ARE ExoNERATED.
President and Secretary of Iowa Re-
tail Grocers Put On Trial.

SpeciaY to Times-Republican.
Ottumwa, May 2S.-A sensation was
sprung at yesterdays session of the
Iowa State Retail Grocers association,
the convention going suddenly into ex-
ecutive session, and excluding every
one but members from the hail. Pres
ident Burt T. Jackson, of Cedar Rap
ids, and Secretary Ira B. Thomas, Of
Des Moines, were put on trial on
charges preferred by President j. Slut
enburg and Secretary F. H. Beaner, of
the Des Moines Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION. Just what the specific
charges were is being closely guarded,
but it seems they had to do with the
recent offer Of Chicago jobbers to fur
nish sugar at "a cents less than the
Iowa jobbers were furnishing it at.
A hot fight was precipitated, and the
wrangling of the contending members
consumed practically all morning. Pri-
vate correspondence belonging to Ira
B. Thomas, said to have mysteriously
disappeared from his office in Des
Moines, was introduced, but evidently
did not support the charges brought,
for the convention concluded the in
vestigation by passing resolution
completely generating President
Jackson and Secretary Thomas.
The resolution was greeted with pro-
longed cheering and congratulations
were showered on the president and
secretary.
After the storm at the mornings ex-
ecutive session, the election of officers
proceeded peacefully in the afternoon
1,,Io N
T. Mulqueen, Of Council Bluffs, was
elected president by a unanimous vote
on motion of Mat Stafford, of Du-
buque, who until the afternoons ses-
sion was Mulqueen's only opponent for
the office. Ira B. Thomas was elect
ed state secretary to succeed himself,
his nomination being seconded by
Fred Beaner, Of Des Moines, who was
out for the office himself until after
the executive session of the conven-
ton in the morning. j. ]. Groves, of
Ames, was elected vice president, and
w. A. Scruby succeeds himself as
treasurer:
The following men were elected
members of the executive committee:
w. H. Albrecht, of Tama; B. T. Jack
son, of Cedar Rapids; j. n Dumenil,
of Keokuk; L. A. Lingafelt, of Daven-
port; James Lowlie, Of Clinton; Frank
Canny, ofHBurlington.
The new executive committee met
in a special session at o'clock last
evening and awarded the next convesl-
ton to Davenport. Following this, the
Davenport boosters, 100 in number,
paraded the streets. headed by their
band.
