Des Moines, July The republican
state committee at its meeting yester-
day considered merely matters relating
to internal workings of the committee.
There has been some effort made to Sc
cure change in the method of con-
Quoting the business, and to do away
with an executive committee and place
the matter of management entirely in
the hands of the chairman. This Will
not be done, at least at present. The
members of the committee are prepared
to go into the campaign in entire har-
mony and working for the entire success
of the entire ticket and platform. All
the members of the committee are ready
to push the campaign along the lines
marked out by the republicans of the
state in their convention and there is
no possibility of divided sentiment in
the committee. But Is was decided that
the time is too early for the committee
to open headquarters and 1t Is entirely
unnecessary to do so at this time. The
committee will have another meeting
about the first of September. when the
candidates for state Office and the
members of congress and other promi-
nent republicans of the state will be in
vited to be present At that time the
work will be more definitely mapped
out
Iowa is going to have to be shown
before 1t will rest content and permit
all the army of employees that will take
care of the St. Louis exposition grounds
next year to come from Missouri. At
the last meeting of the Iowa commits
sion, S. NJ. Leach brought this mat
ter UP, and took the view Iowa should
have representatives among these en-
ployes as we'll as Missouri; in fact, that
every state making an appropriation
for the exhibition in the Louisiana pur-
chase was as much entitled to have
some Of it's residents employed at the
fair as Missouri. A committee was
named to take the matter up with the
exposition management. Ex-Congress-
man George NJ. Curtis, Of Clinton, was
named on this committee, and also w.
T. Shepherd. of Harlan. Mr.. Leach
was also made a member of it. Messrs.
Curtis and Shepherd are in ST. Louis
this week for the purpose of disposing
of the matter. Mr.. Leach did not go.
owing to the fact he is attending the
bankers meeting at Davenport.
There is a particular reason why
request of this kind coming from Mr..
Curtis will not receive careful atten-
tion. 1t is not generally known that
the Iowa ex-congressman is the man
who introduced in congress the bill ap-
propriating $5,O0O,000 for the st. Louis
exposition. He was requested to do
this by Ex-Governor Francis and other
prominent st. Louisans, who regarded
him as the person best qualified to
take the matter up. Mr.. Curtis hesi-
tated to do so, but finally consented
and by his efforts put the bill thru
the lower house, while Faulkner, of
West Virginia, took charge of it in the
senate
1t is calculated that at least 1000
people will be required about the ex-
position grounds, to be hired directly
by the exposition management, saying
nothing about the large numbers en-
ployed by the various commissions of
states and foreign countries. The Iowa
commission does not desire that Iowa
shall have as many persons employed
as Missouri, but thinks that Iowa
should stand next to Missouri, and that
the exposition management should not
follow out the plan it has had in mind
Of hiring only Missouri people.
There is talk in some quarters that
an effort will be made in the legislature
-;,,t4 hn1 taa
lected to visit and inspect the ipstitu-
tons under the board of control. In
support of this idea it is urged there
has been no legislative visitation since
the board of control law went into
effect, that large appropriations are
being required for the institutions and
that the legislature should not be con-
tent with letting the board Of control |
bear entire responsibility for the in
stitutions.
Judge g. S. Robinson of the board |
discussed the question Of visitation
Il am sure the board would
welcome the appointment Of any fair
minded committee Of visitation by the |
legislature he said. There is abso-
utely nothing to conceal in regard to
the management of the institutions and |
the board courts the fullest investiga-
ton. The only regret I would have
in a matter of that kind would be that
t would hardly be possible to compare
the condition Of the institutions now
With their condition before the. board
If control took charge, and thus the
members of a committee would not
be in position to know with entire ac-
,uracy what Improvements had been
made
Iowa's dairy and creamery exhibit 1t
