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 1(08 unless a conservative Republican Is nominated for president, waa Indicated In an edi torial In his paper, The Sioux City Journal, today. Btatlng that Governor Cummins Is In line with the general progressive move ment within the Republican party, Mr. Perkins adds: "It Is the fault of politics that there Is 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.” BAVISlfTlEO ■ AS THEDARK HORSE Brannen Issues Letter Ex plaining His Withdraw al Statement. 'Tin 1 ' mm Philadelphia, Sept. 22.—D.

Statesboro, On., Sept. 22.—Much In terest Is felt here in the action of the convention which meets at Waynesboro next Monday to nomlnnte 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 hnrmony of the -party to which he belonged of more Importance than the success of one man. He therefore. aakgd thnt they nominate sOhie good man ah standard- bearer. Shortly after the reading of this note the convention was moved to Waj'nesboro. 1 Mr. Hrnnnen's action was construed by some to mean his absolute with drawal. To correct thnt Impression he has given the following letter for pub lication: “It seems that my action In stating to the convention thnt I was ready to withdraw nt 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 am now and nt nny 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 lit to retire also, and I am going to stand by my delegates In the matter. (Signed.) ”J. A. BIIANNENV' The fact that the convention meets In Waynesboro renews the rumor that lion. W. II. Davis, of that city, will be the dark horse to get the nomination.
