About the Situation In Iowa
and the Nation.

Des Moines, Sept. MARK Hanna
will be in Chicago next Monday to take
active charge Of the national headquar-
ters there and conduct the western
campaign said Mr.. j. w. Richards,
who returned Thursday from Chicago,
where he had been with Chairmanl
Weaver. Mr.. Weaver will remain for
a day longer in order to have another
interview with National Secretary Per-
try S. Heath. Mr.. Hanna is going to
remain permanently in Chicago during
the campaign continued Mr.. Richards.
He is bringing his furniture. and his
wife will be with him in Chicago.
The congressional headquarters are
the most active at present. There Is a
strong feeling that 1t may be possible
for the democrats to get control Of the
lower house at the next session, and the
members Of the congressional commit
tee are doing all they can to prevent
the democrats from carrying the close
districts thruout the country. Capt.
Hull is in charge of the work Of the
COMMITTEE. which has headquarters in
the Auditorium Annex. They realize
about headquarters in Chicago that
there is fear Of defeat In the Second
district in Iowa, and the campaign in
that district is going to be pushed
strongly. 1t was told me that Chairman
Huffman, OF the democratic committee,
mad been in Chicago for few days try
ing to get some strong men to go into
the district, but that he did not meet
with any very great satisfaction from
the national committee. There is a.
chance, however, that Champ Clark
may make several speeches in the dis
trict.
The western states are generally re-
garded as being in a satisfactory condi.
ton. We are going to have the Pacific
states all right. They are said to be safe.
Kansas and Washington will also be
safely republican, at least such is the
| general belief about headquarters. In
| Nebraska it is believed that the republi
cans will win on the state ticket, but
that Bryan will carry the state. No
Il gains IN cong ngressmen are looked for in
/ Nebraska, South aDkota is expected to
! be safely republican, but no gains in
lscongressmen are expected there. 1t is
also considered probable that Pettigrew
may be reelected. The state may go
republican by several thousand and still
result in the election of a populist legis-
5lature, because of the way in which it iS
divided up. And also, the sickness Of
! Gamble. which has prevented his taking
any part in the campaign, has inter-!
j8fered With the chances of defeating
1 lsPettigrew. Dick kerens is claiming
! Missouri, but his claims are regarded as
1 being somewhat wild. The republicans
iin kentucky are also confident that
they will be able to carry that state.
They say thatthe democrats are becom-
ling so frightened that an extra session
1 of the legislature has been called to
amend the Goebel law. The republicans
Iare claiming that the only thing that
will prevent them from getting the state
will be in the count Of the vote.
About the democratic headquarters
Senator Jones and Secretary Walsh are
| figuring big democratic gains in Yer
mont on account of the election. They
are figuring on percentage, which is all
ways strong suit with the democrats,
land make 1t come out that an actual
Igain OF 20 per cent has been made In
the vote in the state. They say that if
a similar percentage is gained thruout
/ the country, that they will win in every
lone of the doubtful states. The recent
detection of Wellington in Maryland is
ilregarded with little interest about
headquarters. He has been trying to
gain control of the party in the state
4 for some time, and having failed.
d switched over to the other side. The
worst blow the national committee has
had to face yet has been the announce
4 ment of Richard Olney that he was go
ling to support Bryan. 1t is not thought
llikely that he will stump thruout the
y|country, but the mere announcement
THAT he is going to support the demo-
cratic ticket is enough to win over a
considerable number of gold democratic
4 votes.
