sensational announcement of his party and
bolt have been the political talk of the1
state for a week, announces thru his
newspaper that he will do all in his power
to defeat Judge Martin J. Wade for COM
gress in the second district. Mr.. Max
well will tour the district, making, speeches
against Wade, Parker and Davis and any
kind of democracy except that advocated
by Bryan back in 1885,
Mayor Stebbins of Iowa City is re-
garded out of the second district race for
the republican congressional nomina ton.
1t is probable that A. F. Dawson, former
private secretary to Senator Allison, will
be the republican nominee on the first
ballot. Altho the district is nominal1y
democratic, republicans believe that Max
we'll will stir up enough dissaffection to
permit them to win with a clean man
like Dawson
The republican state campaign will open
Sept. |. Chairman R. H. Spencer will
come to Des Moines the later part Of
August and establish headquarters.

ters in the coming national campaign. Sem

ton Of his time in New York and In

The state executive council has an

year. The members of the council have
completed the assessment Of trunk lines
