themselves in control. But good
many of the Hearst men are wise i'm
politics and having had their day are
| quite willing to Join In making peace.
! There is Charles A. Walsh, for in
stnace. who has everything to gain by
coming into camp and being good
Parker Indian. He made himself solid
in an interview at Ottur1wa in which
he declared he did not desire re-
| election as secretary of the national
committee unless 1t should be with the
consent of Judge Parker. While Walsh
has been sufficient of a fighter to
arouse bitter antagonisms his success
in national politics has claimed the adj
niiration of those who do not agree
with him. They are willing, to go half
way with him on a peace platform
With this disposition prevailing among
the gold men or regulars and the sill
| yer men and followers Of Hearst and
Bryan, the leaders here believe that
| lasting peace will be fixed up. If not
! this. at least there will a truce sufficient
| for the purposes OF the present CAM
paign. This Is the thought that Is up
| permost in the minds of the leaders.
| The regulars or Parker men appear to
have the power to carry out this pro-
gram, and they will probably be suf-
| ficiently generous to their opponents to
make the campaign have the appear
ance of harmony.
Next to the general desire for settle
nnent OF the factional differences here
! there is demand on The part of the
Il nd, ttrio {v ho
cratic ranks In the Second district that
/ what is done shall all he for the glory
| Of Judge Wade. From all over the dis
| trict delegations are here that are
| friendly to the congressman. He Is
much idolized in the district. Here in
his home county delegation was Sc
| lected that is twice g large as pro-
vided by the call and they get half
vote each. From the eastern counties
OF the district where Judge Wade Is re-
garded as the biggest man OF the state
the delegations are here talking bar
mony and insisting that there shall be
nothing rash done by anybody. They
want to leave matters so that In case
of Parker's election. which some of
Ithem .affect to believe is likely, they
will have friend at court. And II
1.-THE general program which Is being
mapped out is fulfilled Judge Wade
( will go before the voters much
strengthened.
| Some one has started the talk here
OF nomination of l. l.. DeLano, OF
Cass county, for railroad commissioner.
They say that II Porterfied Is beaten at
Des Moines. which they regard as cer-
tain, then the logical thing Is nomina-
tion OF a Ninth district candidate.
They also declare that since there Is no
factional alignment III the republican
campaign 1t is certain that the nom
inee. no matter who he may be. will be
one entirely satisfactory to the rail-
| road politicians. In this they see a
chance TO get the vs,te s'Of etl1e stock
shippers, so they say. and want the
man nominated who led the fight for
legislation along this line last winter.
Mr.. Delano Is the mar for the place.
There il some talk Of s. S. Wright as
candidate on the ticket either for
secretary OF state or for elector-at-
large, but his friends say he will not
be pushed. One of the leading candi-
dates will come from the Second dis
trict, probably the eastern end Of the
| district. The leaders are reticent
about pushing their friends forward
early.
The temporary chairman of the con-
vention will be Henry j. Stiger. OF Ta-
ma. Mr.. Stiger Is lawyer IN Tama
county, and was formerly partner OF
Judge L. G. Kline, both in law and IN
the publication OF democratic news
paper in Tama. He brought his ad-
dress as temporary chairman with him
and there seems to be no reasonable
doubt about Ms being permitted to de-
liver 1t before the convention.
The convention arrangements seem
| seem to be very good. The convention
will be held In Armory hall. which IS
seated with chairs and will ACCOMMODATE
about 100 people. The hall has been
decorated and there are street decora-
tions galore. The local committees OF
the Commercial club have arranged Tor
abundant music and good entertain
ment OF the visitors. Indications TO-DAY
are thatsthe convention will be large
one and that 1t will tax the city to care
for all the people here.
There is some talk that Judge Wade
Will be named as permanent chairman
Of the convention. He Is willing to
preside IL he Is assured that there IS to
be no fight.
Scott county democrats. came IN to-
day with big delegation and band.
They held a great convention Saturday
dominated by the old timers VINO

become solidly democratic. They sent
double delegation including nearly all
the old wheelhorses OF democracy.
