AN EARLY CONVENTION.

Hal J. Cole, chairman Of the re-
publican city central committee, has
called a meeting of the committee
for this evening to select date for
the primaries and for the calling OF
a convention to nominate a municipal
ticket.
There are 10 vacancies in the COM
mittee Of IS and the chairman has
been busy today appointing new men,
bers in order that full committee
shall be present.
1t is the committees intention to
call the convention for a date pre-
vious to that of the municipal party,
so that the latter will be given an
opportunity to endorse the republi-
can nominees.
This movement indicate that q
strong spirit Of opposition toward
any consolidation or merging Of in
terests with the municipal party has
developed and it now seems probable
that a straight republican ticket will
be named. the majority of whom will
be from the Ankeny faction of the
party. which now feels itself entitled
to control.
