OeS MOtneS, March 25.-Saturday 8
caucuses show conclusively that the
assurance given to Millionaire Nc
Kinley. the traction magnate, by his
Iowa helpers, Lafe Young. George Per-
<ins John Adams and Major Lacey,
that Iowa was going to make STAN
pede for the standpat camp, were with
out founda ton, and can never be real
lied During this past week not one
county decided on the presidential mat
ter in a manner disappointing to the
prog ressives. Every county where the
progressives had any hope whatev of
success stood firm for principles and
loyal to Iowa.
The only surprise Of the week was in
Osceola. The standpatters having Sc
cured delegations from Sibley, claimed
the county. But it appears that the
progressives forced division just such
as they would like. The progressives
got the state delegation and the stand
patters took the district delegation. In
asmuch as the district is overwhelm-
ingly progressive the district delegation
might as we'll stay at home.
The standpatters had been claiming
Greene county, on the quiet; but when
the caucuses were held it was found
that the county is almost unanimous in
It's support Of the Iowa candidate for
president The 'caucuses were well at
tended In Webster county the eau
c.ses also showed an. overwhe.ml
sentiment for the progressive cause
and the county convention will be
heartily for Cummins for president.
The result in these counties, taken with
results IN Emmett, PocahOntas ana
Boone assures thoroughly progressiVe
convention at Fort Dodge on the nth
of next month. -
Bremen, the long time .bailiwick con :
trolled absolutely by Ed Knott, took
a tumble to itself and sent delega-
ton not instructed at-fall. This Is be-
lieyed to be due to the interest the
farmers Of the county take in the beet
sugar industry and discovery on their
part that Senator Cummins. who has
had a great deal to do with establish
ing and making profitable this industry
in Iowa, is really a friend Of Iowa IN
dustry. The result in Bremen, with
caucus results in Hardin,. cinch the
Third district for loyalty to Iowa: and
John T. Adams will appear In the con-
yention with his Dubuque delegation IN
lonely position.
The fight is now transferred to the
Second district. 1t depends largely
upon what Scott county does Thai
county Is certainly progressive on any
fair determination of the matter; lbu!
It - also known that a few persons
usually control and strong claims have
1S
ability TO swing Scott county away
from Senator Cummins. The caucuses
are tomorrow evening.
The estimate Of the Anal condition
Of the state convention remains the
progressives.
Fourth For cummins.
The story has been widely circulated
chat the Fourth district was In doubt
and Taft might take 1t from Cummins
The Howard county caucuses were held
Saturday. In many precincts not vote
was cast for the president and Cum :
Minis carried enough to make a solid
county convention certain. In some
of the precincts he got six to one OF the
vote. Howard county is regarded as
in the east end of the district.
