DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.
Sound Money Wing of the Party
Elects Its Delegates.

Sound Money Wing of the Part!
Elects Its Delegates
The honest money wing of the democratic
party held It's county convention yesterday
for the purpose of naming delegates to the
Des Moines convention that will place In
nomination for governor Of Iowa an honest
money democrat Like the convention held
last summer 1t was not quite as numerously
attended was the fusion convention, but
1t represented the wealth and brains of the
local democracy. The convention was
quietly called and quietly assembled. Lu.
cius Wells was made chairman. In stating
the purposes for which the convention was
called he took occasion to refer to the neCeS-
sity for honesty in politics as well as in
business. Politics and political parties. he
declared. are the creators of all forms of
government, and honest politics will make
honest governments under the protection
or which all men can live and conduct all
kinds Of honest business Dishonest finan-
cial policies advocated by political parties
constituted the worse and most dangerous
kind of dishonest politics, and he declared
that the better element, or rather the best
element, of the democratic party all over
the country was denouncing the dishonesty
Of the party politicians who were struggling
TO bring about an era Of deprecated and
dishonest money in the vague hope that in
the wreck and ruin that would surely fol
low they might acquire some personal ad-
vantage. He did not doubt but that the
people of Iowa would again rebuke this dis
honest class of politicians and their danger
GUS politics even more sternly than they
did at the election last fall. He predicted
the yerwhelming defeat OF White.
The delegates are: Lucius Wells, w. II
