1t known among his friends that he viii

possible that A. Il. Jackson, of Tama
who has for several years carried al
most unaided the burden of the state
organization. will be a candidate for
la place on the national committee rep
resenting Iowa. There are already sew
eral avowed candidates for delegates
at large from Iowa TO the national con-
vention. Ex-Congressman Walt Butler
was first to get into the newspapers
with an announcement of his desires IN
that direction on a conservative AMI
conciliatory platform. Jerry Sulti-

of his announcement, had information

Publication Of the fact few days
ago in this correspondence that Gen
Weaver was one of the chosen few -.
be called into consultation with demo
cratic leaders In New York City on the
occasion OF the arrival there oc Will
liam J. Bryan was the first knowledge

Weaver was being drawn surely into
the Hearst movement. 1t will be recalled
that Il short time ago Gen. Weaver ex-
pressed himself as favorable to tn.
nomination of Gen. Nelson A. Miles for
the presidency. The conference in New
York City has since been held and Gen
Weaver has returned home. He has
changed his views in regard to William
r. Hearst and he now says that Hears.

supposed and much more nearly II
presidential size. for the denocra. :
than had previously been representcl
to him. Perhaps Gen. Weaver is not
yet quite ready to espouse the cause
OF Hearst but he at least has a favor
able opinion OF him. And Gen. Weaver

nation that the Hearst boom Is real
ity and that 1t Is growing larger very
fast. While Bryan does not dare to say
a word about the matter it has been
made known that he is doing what re
can for the Hearst boom and looks
with favor upon 1t. 1t is stated that tn /.
reason Charles A. Walsh has dropped
out of the reckoning i nregard to the
place on the national committee from
iowa is that he is devoting his entire
time TO the Hearst interests and Is
travelling in other states working up
sentiment for the New York congress
man. and as Walsh is newspaper man
himself with some ability as business
getter ne will be well taken care Of

probably indicates that Walsh will turn

Louis, for he practically lived In Mis-
souri, the past three years and is we'll

noted that Iowa has some part The
