main open till s 90 O'Clock in the eve-
ming. In all other precincts outside
of Decorab, the polls will open at :00

is entitled to delegates. The voter
fills In the names of the men he
wishes to represent him in the county
convention. Or the names of the de-
legates may be printed on white paper
and be pasted on the ballot.
1t will be noted that the ballot
differs from the ballot used at the
general election in this. that candi-
dates are all of one political party,
and that the voter must vote in all
four columns il he wishes to help
nominate all the candidates of his
party. AT the general election in
November the candidates of all the
parties are on the ballot, and the can
didates OF each party are all in one
column. This difference should be
noted, otherwise some voters may
vote in the first column only and thus
vote only part of the ticket. The best
illustration of the real effect of the
primary is to regard it as mass con-
vention of the party, assembled Mt
the various precincts to ballot on the
candidates for nomination. If this
view Of 1t is taken there will be small
chance Of mistakes.

Governor Cummins has done more
than any other man in the state to
wreck the Republican party. He
has introduced discord and caused
strife among neighbors and friends
ia every community in the state. He
will go down into history as u motor.
ious breaker of the most solemn pro-
mises: man whose word is utterly
unreliable. for he solemnly promised
w. II. Torbert. Congressman Birdsall
and Senator Dolliver never to be a
candidate against Senator Allison.
He has never denied making these
promises and does not dare to do so
now. He has posed as republican
during his campaigns, and to secure
democratic votes he has been demo-
crat between times. He has been a
consistent squanderer OF the public
funds. and above all Others is respon-
sible for large increase in the state
taxes. He is shameless self-seeker
whose political ambition knows no
bounds. For years he has drawn his
salary as governor of Iowa. while he
has been spending his time travelling
over the state booming his canvass at
the expense OF the people. This is
the kind of man who is aspiring to
q seat in the Senate OF the United
States by unseating the greatest and
most highly honored of them all. Will
liam B. Allison.

April. l9, 1906.
Hon. W. H. Torbert,
Dubuque. Iowa:

Senator Allison. I am not candidate
for Senator Allison's place nor have ]
ever suggested the thing to mortal
man. II is simply abominable the way
my enemies lie about me. am can.
didate for governor. nothing else. II
would be just as appropriate for me to
deny that was a candidate for presi.
dent Of the United States or for the ap.
pointment Of some vacancy in the su.
preme court Of the United States as to
deny my candidacy against Senator
Allison. II is unmitisated rot and
should not deceive any man. With
sincere regards ] am. Yours truly.

Senator Allison is leader of that
body; he heads one of the most i'm
portant committees of the upper
branch of congress. and is second on
another committee almost as import
ant in it's relation to the business in
terests OF the entire nation. To do
anything which must disturb this
happy combination would be an in
justice to the entire country. Iowa
must not commit such an error. IA.

The following is what Cummins
said of Senator Dolliver when he
spoke in Fit. Dodge: "There is nc
man who better deserves the conf.
dence Of his people at home; no man
whose arms shopld be more consis-
sentIy strengthened by tfixts outpour-
ing confidence that you have in him
than he. So far rs am concerned
and / want this to sink deeply into
your hearts-so far rs am concerned,
1 intend to cheer him on his way with
every encouraging word that my poor
lips can utter and intend to give him
that constant and loyal support that
the faithful friend of the people so
well deserves. ["
He seems to have changed his mind
since that time.

The senior editor of the Republicn
has placed himself in an unenviable
position before the public by his ridi-
culous flop from Senator Allison to
Governor Cummins. Senator Allison
has not changed within the year. nor
is the situation at Washington differ
ent from what it was year ago.
This unfortunate action by Mr.. Bailey
is amazing in view of all that is
past.
So much credit has been given to
Governor Cummins for the passage,
by the last legislature, of the anti

AMERICAN NAVY is sssr.
WEAK, SAYS ADMIRAL

Chicago, Jan. 1.-CEarges that there
IS glaring weaknesses in the discipline
and equipment of the United States
navy, recently made in a magazine
article We're admitted to be true to-
day by Rear Admiral Goodrich, COM
mander Of the New York navy yard,
who is considered one of the brainest
men In the naval service.
Not only are the charges true, ac-
cording TO guarded admissions of the
veteran admiral, but many of the high
officials in the navy, himself among
them, have notified the department at
Washington officially of existing weak
nesSes.
One of the charges In the magazine
article by Henry Reuterdahl, editor of
Fighting Ships" and an acknowledged
authority on naval matters. was that
criticism is stifed." Admiral Good
rich's first statement corroborated that
much.
II have heard a lot about charges
made in the article he said. II will
say this much that Reuterdahl knew
what he was talking about. There is
little In the article that isn't true. I
have a copy of the magazine in my
grip and have e it carefully"
Admiral Goodrich stopped off in Chi
cago on his way to San Diego, Cal.

ALLISON FAvORS CLEvELAND'S
PRESIDENTIAL PENSIONS

Washington. d. c.. Jan. 1.-Senator
William b. Allison, of Iowa, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, favors
action by congress looking to the care
and support of eX-presidents of the
United States. In an interview he re-
ferred to the recent utterances of for
mer President Cleveland on the sub
ject and agreed with him that some
provision should be made in his direc-
ton. The matter deserved considera-
ton at the hands of congress-. he said,
and undoubtedly would receive it. In
the case of Thomas Jefferson. who died
poor, Mr.. Allison said the government
would nay done well to pay his debts.
At present Mrs. Garfield is receiving an
allowance from the government, and he
said to make provision for eX-presidents
would cause no considerable drain on
the treasury. as rarely hav there been
more than two of them alive at the
same time,
Mr.. C~leveland's view is tina ex-presi-
dents are limited by popular sentiment
to only the most dignified occupations
and that the maintenance of their posi-
ton makes a pension almost necessary
in most cases although not in his own.

dard, a mate on the Ward Line steamer
Vigilancia, has sued Geo. j. Hermann,l
a real estate broker, for $4,000 for all
legged alienation of the affections OF his
wife, Mrs. Ella st. Claire Stoddard. j
Mrs. Stoddard has sued Mrs. Herr
mann and her son and her husbands,
sister, Miss Laura Hermann, for $10,000i
for alleged Islander.
Mrs. Stoddard was given to dreams in.
her youth. Along came Stoddard. up,

lived. They We're married. 4
A little over a year g Mrs. Stod-ii
dard's baby died. Her husband was
away from home nearly all the time ON
his ship. The little woman was lonely,
Her doctor told her to seek employ
ment, which she did. finding work with
Mr.. Hermann.
Her home was just across the way.
When she went into his office, she says,
she Immediately recognized Mr.. Her
mann as her one n only soul mate.
When the neighbors began to talk,
Stoddard talked it over with his wife.
and then brought the suit against the
real estate man. Mrs. Stoddard's suits
against the members OF the Hermann
family are based upon their comments
on her relations with the broker.
