and a leader among Eleventh district
politicians, arrived in the city yester-
day and will remain until the state
convention. Mr.. Brown says he looks
for no contest of importance in the con-

on candidates other than personal ones.
AS to the platform, Mr. Brown says he
doubts much whether there will be a
serious effort to antagoniZe the adop-
ton of the Cedar Rapids platform or
one fully as strong in respect to tariff
and trusts. Mr. Brown predicts that if
any effort is made to do otherwise the
convention Will not stand by it, and if
the resolutions committee should at
tempt to strike at the Cedar Rapids
platform that. the committees report
will be defeated by the convention
