Des Mofnes,Sept. 9.-The republican
nominations for legislative positions
are being made generally iwth ease. On
Saturday P. L. Eiker. of Decatur, Geo.
Coburn, of Cherokee, and Dave Brant,
of Clinton, were renominated. The
controversy in the Clay Palo Alto dis
trtct will be settled amicably, accord
ing to information received by the re-
publican state committee at the meet
ing Saturday. A number of the candi-
dates for representative and the senate
were present at the conference on
Saturday. They all spoke hopefully of
success, and, in fact, there is no indi-
cation anywhere of falling off in the
republican majorities. On Tuesday of
this week the senatorial convention
Will be held at Logan, when the dele
gates will have to chose between three
The candidates are Mr.. Dewell, of Har-
rison, Carl Kuenhle, of Crawford, and
u. l.. Hogue, of Monona. Crawford
and Monona each have twelve votes
and the other county IS. The situation
presents puzzle. Later in the week
the democrats meet at Missouri Valley
and will choose between two candi-
dates. The republican senatorial con-
vention in the Benton-Ta district
meets this week at Belle Plaine and
will nominate w. P. WhippIe to sue
ceed Penrose, and later in the week the
democrats will meet at Dysart to name
his opponent. On Friday the republi-
cans will meet at Charles City to nomi-
nate candidate for senator and Mr.
iSpaulding is likely to be the man.
Sioux City will renominate Carter this
week for the house. Mr.. Cummins, at
the conference here on Saturday, in
sisted that the state committee should
send good speakers into the legislative
districts so that good vote should
be got out and to make 1t certain that
republicans are returned to the house
and senate. Local speakers can ac-
complish much, but not like speakers
sent from other parts of the state, of
state reputation. or better still, speakers
from other states The state commit
tee will work along this line and see to
1T that the majorities for the legislative
candidates are such as to leave no
doubt that the people of the state de-
sire the republicans to control their
legislation.
The concensus of opinion at the con-
ference was to the effect that this is the
year when republican votes may be
made easier than any other and that
there should be no relaxation on ac-
count of the moral centainty of a large
nm, ,fr,,.i ~ f0, t.ls
This is the year that the young men,
first voters, should be led to understand
the principles of republicanism as ap-'
piled to the control OF the nation. The
speakers will go out and talk principles
'You may thing all the people under
stand the principles of the republican
party" said one at the conference, but
In fact you have to keep telling them
every year. 1t will not do to skip
year. There are some $4,000 to $4,000
new voters in Iowa every year, includ-
ing those who have come from other
states. and a good many of them need
kindergarten instruction in republic
anism. There is always work for the
party to do. Therefore am going out
to speak to the people on national
isues and to help prepare the way for
great victories right along in the fu-
ture." There will be no deviation from
the program. There are no state issues
to be discussed. Speakers will be per-
mitted to exercise to the fullest their
personal rights and preferences, so that
they talk sound republican doctrine on
the cardinal principles of the party.
Nothing was done at the conference
or at the committee meeting which fol-
lowed to change the program already
mapped out Speaking will commence
about the first of next month. Mr..
Cummins and few others will do some
speaking this month. Local meetings
can be arranged, but the state COM
mittee is not preparing for an active
speaking campaign before next month.
All who were at the conference mani
tested the liveliest interest in the work
of the canmaign. The members of
congress all seem eager to get into the
fray. There We're a number of editors
present-Maclean, of the Creston Ga
zette, Purcell of the Hampton Chron-
icle, Murphy of the vinton Eagle, Pugh
of the Adel Republican, Cow Of the
Greenfield Transcript. Carter of the
oOOhG 4NSMS dIIu oSiiCkS1-dHA NuSy were
all ready to give the ticket the support
due from loyal republican editors. The
conference was good in it's influence
on those present. The state committee
wisely decided that there should be a
conference of county chairmen when
all the local party workers will be ex-
pected to come in and talk over mat
tiers. This will be held in October at
the time OF the fall festivities here,
when reduced rates can be had. The
campaign will be under way at that
time and plans can be discussed freely.
1--WE will have big majority in Iowa
this year." said Senator Dolliver. 81
am ready to do my part and will make
speeches as directed by the committee.
This is a good republican year,. SEN
ator Allison is also ready for speaking.
Mr.. Cummins has been such q busy
man since his nomination that he has
hardly had time to size up the situa-
ton; but his mail package Indicates
that he will be given the heartfelt sup
port and will be in great demand for
speeches in all parts of the state. John
Herriott will also go upon the stump.
