Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 22.—That George D. Perkins, of Sioux City, un successful candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Iowa, will bolt the national ticket In 1908 unless a conservative Republican la nominated for president, was Indicated In an edi torial In his paper. The Sioux City Journal, today. _ Stating that Governor Cummins Is In line with the general progressive move ment within the Republican party, Mr. Perkins adds: "It Is the fault of pdlltlcs that there la too much thought of a day's winning and not enough consideration of things themselves, good and enduring. The Republican party can better afford to be whipped In 1908 than take up va garies, pack Itself with absurdities and mortgage Its future to the tendencies toward anarchism. Rather than encour age Influences bearing In that direction, the very opposite should be done." dim™ AS THEJARK HORSE Brannen Issues Letter Ex plaining His Withdraw al Statement. Special to The Georflnn. Statesboro, Qa., Sept. 22.—Much in tereat la felt here in the action of the convention which meet* at Waynesboro next Monday to nominate a congress man for the First district. Since the first session of the conven tion here, when Mr. Brannen and his opponent, Mr. Sheppard, could- not Agree on a settlement, the Brannen delegation has been free to choose an other man, yet they have stood by Brannen for 461 ballots. During the Inst session Mr. Brannen sent to the convention a note In which he said that he considered the harmony of the party to, which he belonged of more Importance than the success of one man. He therefore asked that they nominate some good man as standard- bearer. aShortly after the reading of this note the convention was moved to Waynesboro.” Mr. Brannen'* action was construed by some to mean his absolute with drawal. To correct that Impression he has given the following letter for pub lication: “It seems that my action In stating to the convention that I was ready to withdraw at any time and allow them to name some other candidate rather than my opponent or myself, has been construed by some Into an absolute withdrawal on my part. “This Is not true, and while I nm now and at any time ready to with draw, I will not do so until my oppo nent does the same. I am In the hands of my delegates. They say they In tend to stand by me until Mr. Sheppard sees fit to retire alsp, and I am going to stand by my delegates In the matter. (Signed.) "J. A. BRANNEN" The fact that the convention meets In Waynesboro renews the rumor that Hon. W. II. Davis, of that city, will be the dark horse to get the nomination. 'TAINTED" HONOR Philadelphia, Sept. 22.—D. Clarence Glbbony, city party nominee for dis trict attorney, has declined the nomina tion on the ground that Mayor Weaver has furnished three specific affidavits of votes bought In the convention, held last Tuesday.
