Gus institutions throughout the city,

The last big wire tapping ;windle in
this city occurred early last July when
William J. Mason. real estate dealer
Of Norfolk, Va, was swindled out of
10000 while stopping at the Prince
George Hotel.
Mr.. Mason. after losing the money,
told his story on July ID to Deputy
Commissioner DCugherty. Mr. Dough

In Mr. Mason's case a singular thing
happened. After he had lost S12,30O
in the fake poolroom in the Cos. near
Central Park West, he returned to
Norfolk and obtained $1,000 more.
After he wagered this roll two men,
who called themselves detectives and
who displayed badges that closely re-
sembled the badges Of the New York
City detectives. II they were not the
badges of actual detectives, made "A
fake raid on the house, arresting Mr.
Mason. But they only walked him
into Central Park and then let him go.
There was no lineup of detectives at
Police Headquarters for Mr.. Mason TO
look over 20 see if any of them were
the two in question.

whatever they know OF the police gratt

understood that Mr.. Whitman's chief
purpose will be to get at the 6raft emu
Of the question rather than TO punish

In any event, ii was said yesterday by
n man high In authority In the District
Attorneys office, no barrier Of wealth

stand in the way of serving subpenas
for the special grand jury. nor, indeed ci

II is expected that the issuing OF the

wealthy property owners and biz real 49,
tate agents who have handled the Ten
derlojr properties which have been gwen
over TO lawbreaking propositions for years
back will result in procession or dis-

OF how little their clients actually know
OF the properties.
Mr. Whitman Is prepared to hear from
many OF these property owners or their
LAWYERS that they have handled their
properties only through agents. or that
they have given long term leases Oh IL

the summoning of owners is expected 10

and not nominal support OF the Iowa
senator. It means no pDedging OF
delegates to Taft or anyone else for
second choice. It means liberty OF
delegates to use their own judgment
when it comes to second choice.
In the naming Of delegation
there ds no doubt but that the Cum
minis men would be glad to consult
with anyone entitled to be heard In
the councils OF the party. There
will be no disposition to be arbitrary
or unreasonable or to make 1t at all
difficu1t for men disposed to be fair
to stand on a real Cummins platform
with reference to the presidency.
We have no doubt but that the re-
publicans of the state will accept
this view OF the situation. When
you get down to brass lacks the av-
erage republican is good man and

NOT 1RREcoNc1LABLE.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: What
the Nonpareil insists upon Is that
Cummins shall have real chance In
the convention. When the state Sc
lected delegation to present the
name of Allison for consideration in
st. Louis it was not with an implied
specific understanding that such ac-
ton was merely designed as COM
pliment to the senator on the part
of his home state. The delegation
was not nominally for Allison and
actually for some other candidate,
1t was for Allison. Our insistence
is on the application OF the same
rule in this case. II a breakup
comes in the convention leave the
Iowa delegation as free as the dele
gates supporting other candidates to
do what seems best under the cir
cumstances as they shall then APP
pear.
The Nonpareil is not in favor OF
unalterable opposition to Taft reso-
lutions in the state convention or
by private understanding before or
after. But we are opposed to hav-
ing slate CT delegates made up by
men only nominally for Cummins
and his support being continued on
his acceptance OF such a list. Plain
ly speaking. the demand is merely
for square deal This means real

STILL "A CANDIDATE.

Readers of the different county
papers have noticed number Of ar
tieles republished in them from the
Webster City Journal. They no
doubt wonder why Mr.. Tucker, the
editor, is taking such an interest in
Calhoun county politics. 1t is cas-
lily explained. Mr.. Tucker was a
candidate for state printer at the
last meeting of the general assemb-
" and was defeated, but that Of
course means that he will be can
didate again in the near future. He
also knows that II G. I. Long is
elected to the assembly and became
a candidate for this Office In the fu-
tare, that he would be at disad-
vantage over one who was better
acquainted with the members, as
Long would be should he be success
full. This is why Mr.. Tucker and the
Webster City Journal are SO inter
ested in Calhoun county politics. But
the question naturally arises, why
should Calhoun county politics be
run from Webster City and in the
interest Of a Webster City editor?
Mr.. Tucker has barked up the wrong
tree.-Manson Journal.
The Freeman-Tribune believes the
Manson paper is mistaken in the
conclusion that Tuck will again be
q candidate for state printer. He
was inveigled into the contest the
last time by designing politicians
who wanted to use him in their own
interest and In the course of a year
or so this fact will soak in to Tucks
Uranium, though he does not believe
1t at present. Local politicians made
monkey Of him, figuratively speak
ing, declaring his candidacy was on
ly joke, while protesting to be his
staunchest friends.

SENATORIAL.

Arlington news. SENATOR w. ..
Kenyon is destined as we believe to
represent Iowa in the United States
senate for years to come. He is one
Of the leading men Of that body to-
day. He does not only talk, but he
does things. He spoke at Cedar
Rapids last Saturday and his speech
was not factional. He is repub-
lican and stands for republican
principles and no factional idea will
have any weight in his services to
the people. We do not believe that
Hon. LATE Young has the thought
that he can displace Senator Ken
yon this year.
Dubuque Times-Journal: 1t re-
quires no political student to see
that LATE Young would not decline
the nomination for governor. Col.
LATE is in politics to stay. He is an
acknowledged candidate for Senator
Kenyon's seat, but no one better
than the colonel recognizes the fu-
tility Of such fight. Senator Ken
yon's growing influence in national
affairs insures him seat in the
senate for many years to come.
Carroll Herald: Senator Kenyon
has done only the decent thing in
his Endorsement of Senator Cummins
for president. 1t is contingency
that he has had in mind for many
months, and it is likely that Pres
ident Taft has been prepared for
what has occurred. The juniors in
dorsement OF his colleague under
the circumstances" ought not to af-
feet his relations with the chief ex-
ecutive.

Young says he is still in the race
for the senate. If he were bit
analytical or had an ounce or intui-
ton he would readily see how hope
lessly out of the race he really is.

thing that smacks of progressiveness
is nauseous to him, even the an
nouncement Of Cummins, one OF
Iowa's favorite sons, for the presi-
dency. set his teeth on edge. About
