and there was prospect of a delega
tion ready TO boom the young New
York congressman. In connection with
this there WAS movement for demo-
cratic daily paper i'll Des Moines. This
has fallen thru nov, and there is no
democratic daily paper in sight; but a
weekly democratic political organ is to
be started in Des Moines soon. Prepa-
rations ara being made for Jackson
day banquet by the Jackson-Boies
Club al Waterloo, and it ds regarded
representative democrats something
wiR be done that Will indicate the
surn of affairs in the state this year.
There will also be another banquet on
Jefferson day in Des MONIES and this
may develop somehhing of interest.
The fight at present regarding the Sc
lection of delegates promises to be
around the question or delegation
that will re-elect Charles A. Walsh, OF
Ottumwa, as member OF the national
committee. He has been able as Sec
rstary of the committee to WELD great
influence and his friends are urging
that, regardless of factionai matters.
he is the man to be continued on the
committee. But there are those VINO
feel that new man should De Sc
lected and the fight against Walsh VIII
be determined. Inasmuch as the par
ty in Iowa has avoided factional divis-
IONS the PAST two years by reason OF
the abandonment of the effort to Keep
up the fight for silver coinage, II Is
expected that a strong pull VIII be
made by the conservatives to have Sc
,ected delegation that VIII favor an
