THE REPUBLICANS OF IOWA
Meet and Heartily Endorse the St. Louis
Platform
Phenomenal Unanimity Displayed BY Making
All Nominations and Adopting tho
Platform by Unanimous Vote

DIES MONIES, Ia, July 15.-The Re-
publican state convention today was re-
markable in point Of attendance and in
terest Among the distinguished men
present were Senators Allison and Gear
Senator Allison's speech, which warmly
commended Major Mckinley and sus-
tanned the st. Louis PLATFORM was the
real point Of interest. The senator
spoke with much more than usual
warmth, and when he pointed to the
picture of the Ohio man the convention
went wild with applause.
The platform, after endorsing the ac-
ton of the st. Louis convention, says
on the financial issue:
In the interest of our export trade, for
the furtherance Of the policy of reci-
procity and for the promotion Of our
commerce as we'll as for the benefit Of
our producers, we pledge the support Of
the Iowa Republicans in congress to the
promotion of an international agreement
to establish the joint standard univer-
sally and from the same considerations
oppose the coinage to a single silver
standard. because 1t will decrease and
not increase the supply Of money in the
country; because instead If restoring
confidence 1t will destroy credits; in
stead of inspiring enterprise 1t will
spread alarm; instead Of aiding the debt
or 1t will involve him in bankruptcy; in
stead Of furnishing employment to labor
it will make more uncertain and unre-
munerative that which 1t has; instead
of benef1ting the producers 1t will inJure
them; and finally, because it would do
infinite injustice and involve our country
in reputation and dishonor
The Republican party, under its pol
Icy, assures the people ample currency,
composed Of gold. silver and paper, no
one kind preferable to another, none Of
1t subject, in the hands Of the people, to
variation of value, but every dollar as
good as gold and there held by the real
power Of the government of the United
States.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
Electors at larger. H. Conger, Des
Moines; Eldred S. James, Clinton.
Secretary of state-M. L. Dobson, Des
Moines.
Auditor-C. G. Mccarthy, renomin-
ated.
Treasurer-John Herriott, Stuart, re-
nominated.
Attorney generalization Remler,
Iowa City, renominated.
Judge of the supreme court-A. r.
Ladd, Sheldon.
Railroad commissioning. A. Dawson,
Waverly.
The nominations were all made unan-
imously and the platform was adopted
without a dissenting vote. 1t Is note
worthy that in the whole convention
there was not voice raised against the
st. Louis platform and nominations.
The Republican state committee reor-
ganized tonight after the state conven-
tion and II. G. Millin was elected chair
man.

He was willing to meet the Democrats

ACTION OF ANTI.SILV VERITES
New York Democrats Repudiate the
Chicago Platform
The Executive Committee Splits Up Over the
Passage Of the ResolutIon-The Minor.
ity VIII Withdraw

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE executive
committee Of the state Democracy, met
tonight and repudiated the Chicago
platform. 1t also advocated the putting
OF a third candidate in the field. The
resolutions were adopted only after a
prolonged debate.
The resolutions "repudiate and con-
denim the revolutionary and un-Demo-
cratic platform adopted at the so-called
Democratic convention held in Chicago" :"
The free silver plank is particularly
condemned as proposing to substitute
for the present gold standard IAN un-
stable and deprecated standard which
has been repudiated by every civilized
and prosperous nation and which would
put US on par with China, Mexico and
other countries where labor is notori-
ously underpaid." The failure Of the
Chicago convention to endorse the pres
ent Democratic administration is round
ly condemned
I'm view of the Populistic and un-
Democratic character of the platform
adopted at the Chicago convention" the
resolution declares that no Democrat
owes adherence It, "or is called upon
to support the candidate who have con-
sented to stand upon It,"
In conclusion the resolutions endorse
the action Of the New York delegates
who withdrew from the convention.
Another resolution was adopted in
structing the chairman to appoint a
committee Of seven to cooperate with
other organizations in putting intol the
field Independent Democratic candidates
for president and vice president.
The resolutions were vigorously op-
posed by A. Kiely and Michael Fennelly.
M. Fennelly said that the organizations
might denounce as they would. but ev-
cry mechanic, every laborer, skilled or
unskilled, would vote for Bryan.
Mr.. Fennelly had about six followers
in the. committee and these after the
meeting said they would consider the
advisability Of Withdrawing from the
organization.

that her head has gone deeper into the

feet of water in her forward compart-

total loss.

confined to getting the cargo ready for
transfer to lighters, but this is difficult.
Most OF her cargo will probably be

They are in error.
A president of the United States can
be elected this year without the aid or
consent of the eastern states, which
have in the past dictated nominations
and swayed elections.
Every time gold bug Democrat goes
to Mckinley in New York, he paves the
way for two silver Republicans to come
to Bryan in the west. Every tirAs free
silver Democratic paper in New York
repudiates the Democratic platform, 1t
renders more certain the reputation Of
the Republican gold platform among
thousands of Republicans in the middle
and western states.
The New York gold bug papers are
practically impotent. Their efforts to
injure silver in New York make votes
for silver in the doubtful states. If New
York gold bug Democrats can abandon
party lines to injure silver, theil certain
ly western silver Republicans can leave
the party to help silver.
1t so happens that we need votes in
some western states, and their loss in
New York will do us no harm. Let the

COMMUNICABILITY OF CANCER

Its Possibility Not Proved-Concluslon
Reached by a Medical Writer.
An interesting article on the alleged
communicating of cancer of malig-
nant growth appears in the Medical
Eecord. 1t says, in part:
From the time that the malignancy
of cancer was recognized, the question
of communicating has borne the brunt
Of. the most earnest investigation, and
the hope Of it's solution has stimulated
the most ingenious experimentation OF
earnest investigators. The results
OF all such studies have been entirely
negative. There are no proofs of which
we have any knowledge that cancer has
ever been directly or indirectly propa-
gated from one human being to another.
It is true that there is published an oc-
casional case in which there would ap-
pear on superficial examination to be a
direct relation between cause and effect,
but when such are critically examined
the theory of propagation vanishes in
face of n conscientiously critical
analysis. At best they are coincidental
circumstances following the general
law of accidents. Experiments in the
lower animals have thus far amounted
to nothing, and practically we are as
much in the dark regarding the true
etiology of cancer and it's real methods
of dissemination as ever.
