HARMONY THE KEYNOTE.
Expected fractional Fight Fails to De
velop at Democratic Convention.

NSiSp az 0StlOSIdSiC conventions
Harmony was the keynote of the
Iowa Democratic state convention at
Iowa City last week. The prospec-
tive bitter fight to finish between
anti-Hearst and Hearst Democrats did
not develop. The effort to humiliate
National Committeeman Charles A.
Walsh, who is also member of the
state committee, by limiting his vote
in the latter body to matters not SUBJ
ject to contest, was not successful, be.
ing defeated in the resolutions COM
mittee by vote of to 5. Apart
from defeat in the Walsh matter, TIE
antt-Hearst men were in absolute con-
troll, and they now govern the ma
chinery of the party in Iowa.
The following ticket was named and
is cleverly made up of men of all
shades of party belief:
Electors at large, w. o. Schwidt,
Davenport: ]. B. Romans, Denison;
secretary of state, Charles A. Dick
son, Sioux City; auditor. Edgar F..
Medary, Waukon; treasurer, Henry
Reigelman, Des Moines; attorney
general, Maurice O'Connor, Fort
Dodge; railway commissioner, j. P.
Monatrey, Fairfield; supreme judge,
]. w. Sullivan, Kossouth county.
The platform adopted by the conven-
ton is exceedingly brief 1t merely
ratides the principles of the st. Louis
convention and pledges support to
Parker and Davis.
A telegram of congratulation was
sent to Judge Parker and his reply
thereto caused a wild demonstration.
congressman M. J. Wade and Jerry
B. Sullivan, late candidate for gov
ernor, made harmony speeches whose
sentiments set the convention wild.
