Shelby County Man Will Lead When the
Long Fight Opens Thursday
HAGER'S FRIENDS STILL CONFIDENT
Ninth District Congressional out1ools
Presents n Very Complicated APP

Mt Sea ms 10 the Outcome.

present indications are that It is any
body's fight said a prominent republican
yesterday in talking Of the congressional
convention which will be held here Thurs
day, and this seems to be the prevailing
opinion. While 1t is true that ex-Speaker
Byers will come before the convention with
forty-eight instructed votes for him, he yet
lacks nine to secure the nomination and
there are those who profess to know who
say that he will have considerable diff
Guilty in getting these nine votes. Mr.. Byers'
friends on the other hand feel confident
that when the first break comes in the bal
! loting their candidate will secure SUFFICIENT
votes to secure him the nomination without
fail. How soon, however, they expect this
break to come they are not prepared to
say.
There was some talk on the streets yes
terday that the Cass county delegation,
which is instructed for Major Curtis, would
probably swing to Byers and thus give him
the nomination, but this is denied, and
rumors are to the effect that there will
likely be a combination of forces to beat
Byers and either nominate Hager or Nc
Pherson, which it does not matter much,
so long as Byers is not nominated. Smith
Mcpherson on the first ballot will only

home county, but old time politicians who
have witnessed and taken part in many
a congressional convention, say that his
chance for the nomination Is Just as good
as If he had more votes at his back al
the start. Mcpherson, it is said, will have
many friends in the convention and his
nomination is not unlocked for by his sup
porters. Mr.. Mcpherson is In the city in
conference with his supporters and will
probably remain here until after the con.
~vention. The other candidates are expected
to arrive here today when some lively worl
may be looked for.
Friends of Mr.. Hager are not at all de.
spondent and they say the outlook for hi:
nomination is considerably brighter thai
it may appear on the outside. They lool
forward to a long drawn fight at the con

a winner in the long rum, as they believe
when the break comes they will be able t.

DES MONIES WOMEN TO VOTE
Can Cast Their Ballots at a Special Election
Next Week,
WILL HELP TO DECIDE WATER QUESTION
Assistant City Solicitor Gives an
Opinion to that Enect and the
Water Company Files
No Protest.
I'LL HELP TO DECIDE WATER QUESTION

DIES MONIES, August 15.-(special Tele-
gram.)-For the first time in the city's his
tory the women of Des Moines will vote
next week at a special election to gain the
opinion of. the people relative to the pur-
chase by the city of the water works for
$3.50, 900. An official opinion to that effect
was given out today by Assistant City So
lictior Bannister. Bannister conferred with
a number of prominent attorneys. They
all agreed that the state law gave the
women the right to vote on this PROPOSE
ton. Bannister points out that while this
proposition does not directly Increase the
tax levy in the city, it provides for the use
of the 2-mill levy for a number of years
and hence there Is in fact a debt contracted.
A. b. Cummins, attorney for the water
works company, says Bannister's view Ia
correct; that the women of Des Moines
have the right to vote for or against this
proposition. Separate ballot boxes must be
provided and the women's votes counted
independent of those of the men.
Because of the fact that the state printer
has presented a bill to the state Of 81, 900
for printing two small check registers of
200 pages each, there is a big row on hand
at the state house. Secretary of State
Dobson said this morning that he could moi
tel Wndl Tic OulCOuue VI ~ ONeISy
over the bill would be, but he was certain
of one thing, that he would never allow
the 81, 900. Said he:
81 will allow the state printer only the
regular commercial price which such books
bring and that, I think. would not amount
to more than $50 each. 1 told the state
printer to come and see me today about
the matter. If he chose, He has not beer

determination to refuse to pay his exorbi.

WORKINGS OF A NEW IOWA LAW

ing to Board of Control.
DIES MONIES, Aug. Observation-Disclosures
Gilman and Powell of the insane hospital at
Mount Pleasant and the home for feeble
minded at Glenwood have been at the Office
or the State Board Of Control the past week
comforting with relation to matters at their
institutions. Some Of the changes made in
the conduct of state institutions by the
board have required further explanation or
conference from time to time, and when it
mas not been convenient for a member of
the board to go to the institution and ar
range details the superintendent has in a
number of cases come to Des Moines, where
everything could be talked over and q
thorough understanding arrived at in a short
space of time. Contrary to reports, there
has been practically no friction between the
superintendent of institutions or other Of
fcers of them and the state board, either
because of reductions of salaries or on ac-
count of changes in methods. Or the con-
trary, many letters have been received at the
boards Office here congratulating' its mem
bers on the good judgment exercised in the
changes made and on the satisfactory work
possible to do under the new system, the
while feeling that no one institution was
being better taken care of than
another, and that the inmates were
receiving the best of everything
it was possible to obtain for
them. One superintendent, in writing with
regard to the rule recently sent out by the
board permitting superintendent to raise
the salaries of those in some of the lower
grades IS a month if in their Judgment
such a raise would be of benefit to the state
in the way of making those receiving it take
a greater interest in its work, and look
more closely after the interests of Iowa
and her institutions, said that the liberality
of the board would permit him to greatly
stimulate some of his force in their already
excellent work, and he believed that the
board would ever be glad that 1t made IL
possible for the superintendent to increase
pay In certain cases where such an increase
would be appreciated and would rebound tc
the good of the state. 1t is the many good
things the board has done which have not
been heralded abroad that make it popu.
lar with the people who are In position tc
know the facts, and it is believed that II
will become steadily more and more popular
and In winning popularity win the lasting
esteem and confidence of the people by Its
excellent measures for the enconomical CON
duct of the states institutions and the bet
ter management of their affairs, together
with a better looking out for the interests
OF the inmates compelled to remain In
them.
