Oelwein and Fayette County in Political Struggle
Oelwein Republicans lose influence in Fayette county politics as West Union and Cummins faction tighten control. West Union with about 450 votes dominates county offices while Oelwein, with around 1,000 votes, gains little due to factional maneuvering and intraparty deceit. The piece laments selfish citizenry and calls for unity to challenge the Cummins ring.
