| sip going the rounds that there might
be hard fight in the convention on the
platform. 1t was rumored that an eff
fort would be made to force the party
in this state to reverse itself on the
tariff question and get in line with that
conservatism which holds the tariff
schedules as fixed few years ago to
be sacred. "Just look at the situation,
said shrewd politician in discussing
the matter. Here are eleven con-
gressmen and two senators who have
not acted exactly in accord with the
party platform in this state. They have
not taken steps to bring about a modi-
fication of the tariff to meet changed
conditions. They have a record on
which they must go before the people
this year and ask for reelection. But
the party platform of last year does
not suit 1t was a good platform; so
good that we elected a state ticket by
the biggest majority ever given, but
the friends of the congressman must
demand some modification of that plat
form" If this should be done there
would be a pretty fight in the conven-
ton without question. The men who
were prominent in the campaign of last
year would make a fight to keep the
platform unchanged. There is not a
particle of doubt that if it should be
deemed necessary Governor Cummins
would carry onto the floor of the con-
vention itself q fight to retain the plat
form of last year intact. But within
the past few days it is made known
that the platform will remain exactly
as it was last year Word has come
from Washington that there is to be no
change in the platform and that it will
be satisfactory to the congressional
delegation just as it was written last
year. Hence that danger of fight has
been disposed of.
The Iowa republicans are going to
stand squarely by President Roosevelt
this year. There can be no doubt of it,.
They are going to demonstrate that
they have no quarrel to pick with the
president, but are ready to vote for him
at any time. AS Il starter 1t has been
decided that every badge shall bear a
picture of Roosevelt Allegiance to
Roosevelt will be the test of entrance
to the floor of the hall.
Already there is considerable inter-
est manifested in the forthcoming
speech of Congressman Walter l.
Smith. who is to preside as temporary
chairman of the republican state con-
yention in Des Moines. Congressman
Smith is a forcible speaker. He will
make himself heard and he. will have
something to say. Those who have
been in Washington the past winter
say that he has been rather quiet but
deeply interested observer of the at
fairs of the nation, and as he is of a
naturally studious turn he will be able
to analyze the political situation and to

Special to Times Republican.
of the delegates to the republican state
convention to be held here July 80 have
been selected by the county conven-
tions. There has not been a prelimi-
nary canvass in many years in the
| state in which so little general interest
was felt. The contests for place in the
ticket are all regarded as personal. AT
the outset of the canvass there was
some talk of the revival of an effort to
divide the state into factions and make
the organization of the convention de-
pend upon the whims of a few. This
was soon abandoned because it was
seen that there could be no square di-
vision of the party into factions. The
lines would cross at many places. Some
of the candidates We're popular with
certain factions and others popular
with all kinds of republicans, Ii there
can be said to be any different kinds.
The result is that it is personal fight
on every office where there is any con-
test at all. The nearest to a division
on factonal lines was in the case of
supreme court reporter. but here it was
found that other things We're entering
into the contest, and there can be no
square division on factional lines
There has been no pretense at any
clerk of the supreme court represent
any factions. The five or six active
candidates have been doing work as in

sonal and locality strength. AT least
two or three of them are privately
making strong claims of sure success,
but inasmuch as the field is large this
is problematical. In reference to rail-
road commissioner there appears to be
a good deal of activity under the surf
ace The bringing out of a third cam
didate at late day has the appearance
to many of being an effort to mix the
thing up for no good purpose. 1t is
we'll known that the railroads are more
Interested in the railroad commission
than they are in the executive council,
but whether there is any strong rail-
road influence being thrown into the
campaign does not appear on the surf
ace. 1t is quietly hnted. however, that
certain railroad influences are pursuing
an active canvass in regard to this Of
flee The manner in which Governor
Cummins disposed of the judgeship
change has made it impossible for there
to be any contest over either of the
places on the bench. If he had dallied
with the appointment only few days
there would have been strong pressure
brought to bear. to have him appoint
several candidates and this would have
inevitably led to a fight in the conven-
ton on that office. AS it is there will
be only two names presented for the
places.

Successor to Gen. Miles.

Those residents of Vermont who learned
while he was in command of the military
post at Fort Ethan Allen, will be pleased
to learn that he is likely to succeed to the
command of the army of the United States
when Lieut-Gen. Miles retires next year.
1t is said to be President Roosevelt's pres
ent intention to bestow this deserved honor
upon MaJ-Cen. Young, and it is not be-
lieved that anything is likely to happen
that will change the situation so far as
this appointment is concerned.
Many people have expected that Adjt
Gen. Corbin would be promoted upon the
retirement of General Miles. but it seems
that General Young will have only few
months to serve as commanding general
of the army before the arrival of the date
of his retirement, after which General Cor
bin can be given the honor and have two
years to serve before he in turn will retire.
Young and Corbn are pronounced friends,
and the formers promotion will be well
received by Corbin.
1t is not impossible that another consd-
Grafton has served to reconcile Corbin to
the postponement of the fulfillment of his
ambition to become the commanding gen
eral Of the army. 1t will be remembered
that during the controversy over General
Miles many people attributed the friction
to the influence of General Corbin with the
administration and in the event of the
lotter's selection as the successor OF Gen
cral Miles the friends of Miles would in
cvitaby revive the ugly stories that were
set afoat during the latter part Of Nc
Kinley's administration regarding Cor
bins scheming. With General Young as
his successor General Miles will have nc
opportunity to pose as a martyr, and he
will not be in position to make politica
trouble for the administration.
General Young is an able and efficient
officer as we'll as a genial and courteou;
gentleman, and he will make grand com
handing general OF the army. He has
been selected to go. together with Genera
Corbin and General Wood to attend thu
German military manoeuvres in August
and the German emperor may regard as
delicate compliment the act of President
| Roosevelt in choosing for this service two
generals who will in the near future serv,
in succession as commanding general Of
the army of the United States.

ton did not instruct Its senator's to oppose
the formulation of local option law, by
the legislature, to be submitted to popular

No county has done this With hardly
an exception the counties that have held
conventions since the State convention have
expressly endorsed the proposition adpoted
by the State convention. The republicans
of Vermont have acted and are acting In
entire good faith in all this matter. The
prohibtionists in the republican ranks have
not bolted the party platform. Most OF
them, we think, realize that the time had
come when 1t was best that the question
of the retention of the present law be sub
United to the people. When the time comes
TO decide between the present law and the
local option law which the legislature will
probably submit to the voters. they will
vote as their consciences and their best
judgment dictate. Meantime they arc not

but the Clement bolt: and, as every in
