IOWA NEWS.

DEs MONIES, Ia, June 22.-TSpecial to
The BEE. About all of the republican
county conventions for the selection of dele
gates to the state, congressional and judicial
conventions in this state have been held. So
far as reported they have been harmonious,
and the indications are that n spirit of har-
mony will prevail in the state convention at
Sioux City next Wednesday. The temper
ance question will be the principal bone of
contention, but the prohibition wing of the
party has been active and will probably con-
troll the action of the convention, 1t is freely
predicted that plank similar to that of last
year will be adopted, and that the Wilson
bill for the prohibition of the sale of original
packages will be endorsed.
The slate which will be most likely to sue
ceed in capturing the nominations is as fol-
lows:
Secretary of State M. Mcfarland of
Emmett county, with G. S. Byrkitt of Appa-
moose county competitor.
Auditor of State-J A. Lyons of Guthrie
county, present incumbent. His chief COM
petitors are G. c. Mccarthy of Story county
and Fl M. Kyle of Clarke county.
Treasurer of State-General b. A. Beeson
of Marshall county.
Supreme Court Reporter-G. b. Pray of
Hamilton county, although he will have some
opposition from various counties who have
local candidates. n. b. Raymond of Polk
county also seems to stand good show.
Supreme Court Judge-Justice Rothrock
will likely be his own successor, although
Mr.. II N. M, Pusey of Council Bluffs is Il
Railroad Commissioner-John Mahin of
Muscatinc, Pliny Nichols, Jed Lake and
other candidates are mentioned The demo-
cratic member, Hon. Peter A. Dey, is the
one whose term of office expires.
Attorney Gencral-rhe present incumbent,
Hon. j. Y. Stone. will have no opposition.
