SWEETS CANDIDACY.
(waterloo Courier)

(Waterl0O COurler)
The candidacy of Burton E. Sweet OF
wayerly, for the nomination for con-
gress, is significant from several
standpoints. In the first place 1t re-
veals the possibilities even in these
later days, days when many say there
is but little for young men to hope
for, of a young man built upon the
right lines and possessing the right
spirit
MIR, Sweet has been distinct profess
sional success Few of the younger at
torneys of northeast Iowa, stand as
high as he. But it is in the political
field that his ability has been most
marked and his accomplishments most
distinguished When he entered the
field in Bremen county it was supposed
to be doubtful or democratic. His fine
personality, force of character and un-
firing energy changed it's political
complexion and he was rewarded &C
cordingly.
And now, having conquered local
conditions. he legitimately seeks a
wider scope. And it is in this that
another very significant feature Of his
announcement is apparent.
For period so long that the mem :
DRY Of the younger men of this district
runneth not to the contrary, Ed Knott
of Bremen has been United States mar
shall, and also political spells dispenser
in chief for his region. He has been
one Of the main pillars in the Allison
structure. And, while he was willing
that Burton should have anything that
he wanted locally, Of course Bremen
could not expect all the federal offices
and as Ed couldn't get along without
the marshalship, Burton should not
aspire to congressional honors.
This was the state Of affairs when
the Iowa progressives passed the pri-
mary law. The law that permits every
citizen to aspire to any office, and the
law that does not permit nominations
to be fixed" up in back rooms of poll

THEORY OF THE
SIGNAL CORPS
Cause of Accident to Wright's
Aeroplane Brought Out at
Official Inquiry.

Washington. Sept. 20.-At the officia
investigation of the aeroplane accident
made at Fort Myer by the signal corps
what is believed to be the correct theory
as to the cause of the accident was
brought out. Lieutenant Sweet of the
navy. who assisted the board a the in
quiry. in speaking of the accident gave
the following version:
Through the numerous long flights
made by Mr.. wight at Fort Myer there
developed an exceptional strain on oae Of
the brackets of the upper strut of the
rudder. TO which a guy wire was at
tached. 1t is quite possible that the con-
tinued strain and vibration wore out the
bracket. When the bracket broke the guy
wire dropped and became entanslei in
the left propeller. breaking one of the
blades.
THE breaking of the wire caused the
rudder or tail piece to collapse, and this.
IL is believed. struck against the lett pro-
peilcr. Further control of the aeropiane
was impossible. The accident does not
reflect any discredit on the Wright broth
ers' flying machine and is one that would
probably not happen again in great
many years"
