Des Moines, May 31.-Chairman
Weaver, of the republican state COM
mittee, has been in Washington for
some days, called there to confer with
the national executive committee in rec
gard to the work in the west. Mr..
Weaver is recognized outside of Iowa
as political manager of no ordinary
skill. Mr.. Weaver had it in mind when
making this trip to take the position
of the early bird. The worm he is
pursuing is the political speaker OF
great renown, whose services are de-
sired in Iowa. The result of Mr..
Weaver's visit will be quite satfsfac-
tory to the republicans of the state,
since he has secured some of the best
speakers in the nation for the Iowa
campaign. Among them are Senator
Beveridge and Congressman Brosius
and Landis. who are well known in
Iowa. Several others are being arr
ranged for, but it is not desired to an
nounce them at present. Governor
once The Iowa congressman are in a
position to command exchange along
this line of work with the best there is
in the land The national organization
will get under way Immediately after
the national convention. and Mr..
Weaver will commence work in Iowa
at the same time. He has secured some.
valuable material in the shape of
