The Atlantic Evening News published in Atlantic Iowa announces pricing by carrier and mail for subscriptions and lists editors and directors. The piece contains an editorial remark about dissection in southern counties and criticizes a political figure named Hamilton as chronically insurgent and unredeemable.
Hon. Frank D. Jackson of the Taft Clubs states there is no doubt a majority of delegates will be stalwart. He asserts Cass county will send fourteen stalwart delegates and that stalwarts will control six of eleven congressional districts. The insurgent claims are viewed as promotional and unlikely to prevail at the convention.
John T. Hamilton of Des Moines humorously claims the C B and Q influence swayed Carroll in the recent primary. He cites Cass county and towns along the railroad lines showing insurgent results while Union township stood apart. Overall Carroll surpassed Garst by more than 500 votes despite pockets of Q influence.
The News expresses gratitude to subscribers for paying up after a recent appeal. Readers are responding at about fifteen to twenty per day, and the paper proudly notes that its best efforts are available to those who ask.
The paper prints a letter signed by Fleming, leader of insurgent forces, denouncing Republicans and pledging to ruin rather than rule. It shows his vitriol and threats as evidence of a faction determined to disrupt, while Republicans prefer loyalty to the party flag over his rhetoric.
The News reports fourteen Cass County delegates to the state convention favor a firm Taft endorsement and payment of the Payne tariff. Insurgents wanted delegation loyalty to senators over the president. Cummins and Dolliver seek endorsements. The stalwarts won, insurgents lost, with loyalty to the Taft program. Also notes Chicago airship company planning a nine hour passengers to New York flight.
R J Fleming, insurgent state committee chairman, blasts progressive rivals in a wide letter to county convention delegates. He claims the next Republican state convention will be controlled by progressives, criticizes Lacey Taft Cannon ranks, taft supporters’ tactics, and urges firm adherence to progressive principles and legal delegate rules ahead of the July 2 county meetings.
A Des Moines Star letter argues against drivers with liquor in their system and urges laws to ban any alcohol in automobile operators. The writer notes a rain storm near Polk City where a touring car broken down drew taunting remarks from rowdies, highlighting the danger to others on the road.
