is fact that outside Of the committee
and candidates public sentiment here is
overwhelmingly in faeor of a primary.
It's advocates have come tc town and are
the ones making an active fight. The few
convention advocates here are not ag-
gressive, and this is having its effect on
the committee. several Of whom during
the evening have come over to the pri-

Many of the black belt counties, such
as Montgomery, Hale and Macon, favor
a primary although the convention plan

Senatorial Situation Changes.
The Senatorial situation enters some
what into the question. Senator Pettus'
term expires next March and his success

convention or primary. If a convention
is ordered 1t is conceded that General
Pettus will have no opposition, but If a

The following statement. made tonight
by Committeeman Bibb Graves and T..

Mr.. Bibo of Montgomery said: Il favor

OVER 10000 ATTEND
MINNEAPOLIS MEETING.

Minneapolis, July 9.-Highwater mark
in the attendance at the National Edu-
cational Association convention has prob
ably been reached, a conservative esti-
mate placing the number of visitors in
the city today as considerably over 90
600. The meetings were all well attended
today and when it Is stated that there
were fifteen of them, it will readily be
seen that the crowd is an enormous one
Nearly every department of the asso-
citation has held a meeting and the real
work of the convention proper is in
full blast. Tomorrow there will be thir-
teen meetings and on Friday when the
convention closes there will be twelve.
The movement for the election of
President Charles Elliot, of Harvard. as
president Of the association has attain
ed such headway that he Is likely to be
named without opposition.
The question of place of meeting will
not be so easily settled. While Boston
seems to be the favorite. the actual Sc
lection will be left as usual to the exc
cutive committee. 1t has been the custom
to give the presidency and the convention
to the same city and this fact may op-
crate against the Boston candidacy If
DR.. Elliot is chosen.
President Beardshear was reported
much better today but his physicians
will not permit him to preside at any
OF the sessions.

n n ONTGOMERY, July 9.-(SpeciaD-
~ On the eve of the assembling of
kVk the State Democratic Committee
no one knows whether primary or con-
vention will be held to nominate the va
rious State and county officers to be
elected in November.
The situation In a nutshell is that the
Judgment of majority of the commit
tee is opposed to primary and if one is
popular clamor for it.
The committee meets tomorrow to dis
cuss the situation and see what is best
to be done. Opinion here is that the pop
ular demand for a primary is so strong
that the committee will acquiesce and
order one. In fact the chances for a pri-
mary have improved during the night

Ever since the war nominations have
been made by a convention and the COM
mittee hesitates to make a radical depart

Some of the committeeman do not think
they have the power to order a primary
and If one is ordered there is all the ma
chinery to be provided for holding the
election and ascertaining the result.
All Sorts of Plans.
All sorts of plans are being advocated
Some want straight-out primary Of the

IOWA STREAMS ARE
RAGING TORRENTS
FROM INDEFINITE REPORTS RE-
cEIVED 1T is IMPOSSIBLE TO
ESTIMATE THE DAMAeE-cRoPs
ARE RUINED.

Des Moines, Ia, July 9.-The continued
rains have forced nearly all Iowa streams
from their banks and the destruction of
crops, live stocks and other property is
assuming immense proportions.
1t is impossible to estimate the dam
age from the indefinite reports received.
The damage is especially extensive in
the central. northern and southwestern
parts of the State. The valley of the
Sioux and Maple rivers are flooded and
portions of Woodbury. and Monac counties
are under water. The Iowa river at Mar
shalHown is the highest since 1881. Many
country bridges have been destroyed and
traffic between Marshalltown and sur
rounding points is practically cut off.
Cattle and hogs have been drowned in
large numbers in the Iowa valley.
At Cedar Rapids the Cedar river is out
of its banks and many families have been
forced from their homes. Numerous
bridges have been swept away In Linn
county The Skunk river and Squaw
creek are out of their banks and near
their confluence in Storer county thous-
ands of acres are flooded and crops de-
stroyed
The continuous rains are paralyzing
business in Fort Dodge and the railroads
are almost out of business. The west
end of the city is inundated and fam
lilies are moving out. The Des Moines
river is up six feet at that point Be-
cause Of the saturation of all the in
sulation on the wires, electric power has
been shut off and the town is dark.
Near Oxford, in Johnson county, in a
windstorm last night Jacob Burkhardt
was crushed to death by the falling of
a barn. Half dozen barns were de-
stroyed in the same neighborhood. Near

Roosevelt Asks Them to Visit Him at

Oyster Bay. July 9.-President Roose-
welt has informally invited the members
of his cabinet to visit him at his Saga
more Hill home. 1t is understood that
they will avail themselves OF the oppor-
tunity TO come to Oyster Bay at their
own and the Presidents convenience. 1t
is expected that Secretary Root will be
one of the first to come, and 1t is not
unlikely that he may arrive in few
days. The President Is keeping in close
touch with departmental affairs In
Washington. and almost hourly during
the day Is in communication with MEM
bers Of the cabinet.
The day was most excessively hot here.
After clearing considerable routine busi-
ness, the President devoted his time to
out-of-door pleasure with Mrs. Roose-
welt and the children.

Meeting Was Acrimonious.

The meeting was at times acrimin-
GUS and there was sharp exchange of
words between President Bowman of the
Federation of Labor and President Cur
ran of the freight handlers in which the
former was accused of playing poli-
ties at the expense of the freight hand
lers.
The proposition finally was made that
the matter of an agreement with the
railroads should be left with President
Curran and Bowman with full power to
act. A meeting was then arranged with
a committee of the general managers Of
the railroads and the result was that
President Curran agreed to accept the

potent factor in settling the strike.
They took strong issue with the freight
handlers and intimated very plainly that

them, inasmuch as the freight handlers
had struck against the advice of the

Statements Were Untrue.

The matter was investigated and it was
discovered that the chief officials and
the teachers in the normal Were not
ministers, and that their own good sense,
as well as the strict rules of the govern
ment, made them attend strictly to secu-
lar matters. The newspapers which ad-
mitted into their columns such state
ments have since repudiated them, but
meanwhile much needless excitement was
raised and much harm done.
