jackson, of Tama county, at the head
of the democratic state committee, ar
rived in the city today and opened up
state headquarters for the campaign.
This is little late for beginning. but
the democrats have believed that they
can come as nearly electing their state
ticket with short campaign as with a
long one and are opposed to needless
done as yet regarding speakers and
nothing in the direction Of a general Or
ganization of the party in the state.
The democrats are without funds and
almost without candidates. In a num-
Der Of counties it has been found inn
possible to find persons willing to run
for office on their ticket. Chairman
jackson has been devoting himself at
first to the matter of getting the nomi-
nations for state and district office filed.
He found that three of the candidates
for congress had cared so little about
their success that they had not sent in
their papers. These were Faltinson in
Cullison in the Ninth. But as for that
the nomination papers of Congressman
Conner in the, Tenth have not yet been
filed by the republicans. The next thing
Chairman Jackson purposes doing IS to
make arrangements for line OF good
speakers. He has been In cOmmunica-
ton with democrats outside of the state
and has the promise of several good
speakers to come to Iowa. Carter Har-
r.son, the mayor of Chicago, has prom
ised to come and give few days to the
campaign. Congressman Champ Clark.
of Missouri, has agreed to make few
speeches In the state and he Is quite
with the democrats Fred Leh-.
man, of st. Louis, one time great
among Iowa democrats before the par
ty left him, has been invited and urged
to come to the state and 1t is expected
he, will make some speeches. There
have been many calls for speeches by
Colonel Joseph Eiboeck, but he hesi-
tates about going out. as he is getting
old and his voice is not what it once
was. However, he says he will do all
he can for the democratic ticket and is
especially anxious to give aid to Judge
Wade in the Second and Governor Boies
In the Third. A good many Of the best
known of the new speakers are to do
service this year, such as ex-Congress-
man Walt Butler. General James B.
Weaver and Senator Claude Porter. In
the Eighth district Tom Stuart, the
nominee for congress, has accepted the
r nomination, fully believing that the
democratic party Is in the right on all
the questions now pending before the
people" He will open his campaign at
Centerville on the 10th. It is under
stood that Farley Sheldon. nominee in
this district, will do some speaking in
the district after awhile. But on the
whole the outlook for lively campaign
by the democrats in the state generally
is not very good Chairman Jackson
expects to remain here now until after
the election and Secretary N. G. Rob-
erts. of Fort Madison, will be here most
Of the time to assist him.
The republicans are going to make
use Of Oscar F. Williams. of Rochester,
N. Y, the United States consul at Ma
Mia at the time of the war with Spain
over Cuba. He is to make three or four
speeches in Iowa for the republican
ticket. He is scholarly gentleman and
said to be a fine talker.
Major Lacey opens in the Seventh
district with a speech at Indianola on
the 11th in the afternoon. Shaw and
Allison are to do some speaking in the
Second district in the interest of Hoff-
man.
1t is now known positively that there
|s no connection between the Iowa &
st. Louis railroad and the Rock Island.
There was rumor that there was some
between the two because the
Iowa & st. Louis had made an arrange
ment to go into st. Louis over the same
terminals as the Rock Island. But en-
gineers connected with the Iowa & st.
Louis declare 1t is an independent sys-
tenn and will derive its chief strength
from the fact that 1t gets into fine coal
region in southern Iowa and northern
Missouri. The locating engineers of the
company have been at worl. in Warren
south of Des Moines this week
and are trying to select feasible route
into Des Moines by way Of Indianola or
1t is expected they will Sc
ect the route before winter. Whether
the line will be extended on into north
western Iowa as planned remains to be
