Cannon Is not the first suggestion as
to O person for the place. Iowa may
be embarrassed by the number OF can

OF whom may be voted for by Iowa
delegates to Chicago:
Speaker Joseph w. Cannon, Illi-

nation. Mr. Webster, Of Omaha, paid
= visit to Des Molnes shortly after his
candidacy was announced and saw the
men who control politics in this part
of the state and 1t was then stated that
he had received assurances of some
support from Iowa, If his name IS
presented to the national convention.
There are men who will be on the Iowa
delegation who would like very much
to see the governor of Minnesota on
the ticket, because he is governor OF a
neighboing state and Is a native Iowan
in full sympathy with the people of
Iswa. Then it became known when
Senator Fairbanks delivered some
speeches in Iowa two or three years
ago that he was an available man, and
the pins were set to get the delega-
ton for him. Now comes in the Can

An effort will be made to induce
Governor Cummins to take the initia
tive in the matter of settling the labor
troubles In Des Moines. His success
in managing the ticklIsh problems
which We're presented at Dubuque last
year and in getting the employers and
employees together for conference and
fair settlement OF their differences. will
be urged as a reason why he should
take the Initiative. The situation in
Des Moines has not materially changed
since the lockout of nearly three weeks
ago. 1t is square fight between two
strong organizations, or combinations
each one determined that it will have
its own way to the extent of ignor-
4ng any rights the other may have.
Two ultimatums have been laid down,
one by the employers combine and the
other by the employees organizations.
There appears to be no material dif-
ference as to wages or hours of work.
but rather question as to the condi-
tion of work. While the number of
iaborers affected by the controversy is
comparatively small. when the total
number In the city is considered, yet
the general public believes that there
should be final settlement and an
end to the controversy. The coal mine
wage question was settled in manner
entirely satisfactory to all parties ana
for two years. and 1t is expected that
when a settlement is reached in the
building trades 1t will also be for
long term.
One year ago President Roosevelt
made his memorable journey thru Iowa,
speaking on three separate days to Iowa
people, before leaving for st. Louis.
Gov. Cumrnins and a party of state off
cials met the presidential party at
Clarinda and accompanied the party on
thru the state. 1t was remarked by
many who recalled the incident, and
especially those who went into the
southern counties of the state, that at
that time the vegeta alton was much far
ther advanced in Iowa, than now, that
the grass was much greener and the
oree flowers We're showing brightly.

that Rock Rapids would organize
