April gath. 1t will be held at Cedar
Rapids. C. M. Thomas Of Maquo-

ty primaries will be held by the sew
eral counties for the selection of
delegates to the convention will be
left to the option of the county COM
mittees. There will be 1,479 dele
gates in the convention, the largest
ever known in the state. Each coun-
ty Is entitled to one delegate at large
and a delegate for every 200 votes
cast for Taft in 1908 or majority
fraction of 200. Winneshiek county
will have 10 delegates.
The convention will have nothing
to do but to elect the delegates to
the national convention. Another
state convention will be held later
for the nomination of state officers,
after the primary election.

We Felt Sure of This.

When the report of the shortage
in the accounts of j. w. Jarnigan,
postmaster at Cedar Falls, was cir
culated last summer, knowing him
and his reputed integrity so we'll, we
thought surely there must be some
mistake, and we are more than glad
to know that the fault was entirely
in the inspection, as the following
from the Waverly Democrat indi-
Gates:
Last summer the post Office at
Cedar Falls was checked up by gov
ernment inspectors and the accounts
of Postmaster j. w. Jarnigan were
reported short considerable
amount. This report was given out
by the inspectors and was published
in nearly all the papers OF the state.
The postmaster denied that ne was
short and his protest was needed by
the department, which gave him the
privilege of having the affairs or MS
office audited by disinterested par
ties. This was done and no short
age was found. To the government
it must have looked like a frame
up" against Mr.. Jarnigan, for an
investigation has been started III
Washington with view to unravel-
ing the plot, and the postmaster mas
been summoned there to TESTIFY. II
it is shown that the inspectors de-
liberately tried to besmirch the cnar'
acter of the Cedar Falls postmaster
they will probably be prosecuted un
der a criminal charge. Their error
in inspection and the giving out o.
report of shortage, though thert
may have been no criminal intent
will cost them their positions.
