THE"STAND PATTERS"
CAUSE TROUBLE
IN IOWA
Shaw Says Tariff Re-
formers Distort
M M'KINLEY'S UTTERANCES

Des Moines, Ia, May 17.-Strenuous
efforts of Secretary Shaw, Senator AL
ltson and others who have been ap-
prised of the wishes of President
Roosevelt have failed to wholly deter
the radical stand patters" from pre-
pairing platform that will commit
tomorrows Republican state conven-
tion to uncompromising opposition to
tariff reform or reciprocity in compet-
tive articles.
Last years Iowa platform, which
was written by Senator Allison and
virtually dictated by Governor Cum.
Minis with the knowledge that 1t was
satisfactory to President Roosevelt
will be ignored. In fact it was by a
narrow margin that the party lead,
ers have been able to prevent the rad
icals from expressedly repudiating 1t
and humiliating Cummins. Nineteen
of Iowa's &c delegates to the national
convention will be ardent anti-revi-
sionists.
Secretary Shaw and Congressman
Hepbourn and Smith spoke before the
Polk county Republican club tonight.
Secretary Shaw declared that he was
opposed to free trade with Canada
and did not favor reciprocity with any
other country in competitive products.
He denounced the effort of the tariff
reformers to distort President Nc
Kinley's Buffalo speech to mean any
thing of the kind. He upheld the
iron and steel tariff but said he was
not prepared to say it should never be
removed.

which he asked the company to pro
tect the poor, the reckless and the
credulous by cutting off all pool
rooms service" He stated that IL the
company was sincere in its action

day: Our four Hamilton county del.
egates will go to st. Louis for Judson
Harmon for president and l believe
when the time arrives the entire Ohio
delegation will favor him. He is a safe
conservative, able man and will make
an ideal Democratic candidate for
president. We may find on arriving
in st. Louis that the east and south
are in favor of some conservative
eastern man, but II it is found that
such man cannot secure the neces-
sary number of votes, we want to be
in position to urge Judson Harmon
as the safest man in the country"
1t is stated positively that Hearst
will not receive vote from Hamilton

REPUBLICANS
OF ILLINOIS STILL UNABLE
TO AGREE
DENEEN GAINS VOTES
And May Yet Defeat Gov,
Yates.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 1.-THE iii.
nois Republican state convention ad.
journed at $3.50 tonight until IL o'clock
q. m. tomorrow. The motion to ad.
journ was made by James Monaghan,
OF Chicago, one of Congressman Lor-
liners most trusted aides, and was
seconded by e. ]. Murphy, Yates
leader The Deneen forces protested
against the recess but were unwilling
to make a test of strength by de-
handing roll call. The deadlock was
still on when the adjournment was
taken but the field has narrowed con.
siderably. Sherman is out of the race
entirely, having practically withdrawn
by voting his home delegation for
Deneen. On the last roll call he got
but two votes. Lowden's chance has
passed, according TO the opinions OF
leading politicians of all factions. His
failure to stampede the convention
this morning when he attempted to do
SO was fatal.
The surface indications are that
the battle tomorrow will be between
Deneen and Yates. Mr.. Deneen's
chances have grown steadily brighter
through the day. He left the hall to-
night firmly established in second
place and only so votes behind Gov
ernor Yates. L. Y. Sherman threw his
full strength to the states attorney
tonight and there is little question
that in fight between Deneen and
Yates, the former will get the full
vote of Attorney General Hamlin,
which was 113 votes on the last bal
lot.
Senior members of Governor Yates
political household, who have made a
reputation for telling secrets, said af-
ter the convention had adjourned to-
night that the Organization" leaders
of the Lowden forces are ready to
throw their strength to Yates at any
time and have left it to the governor
to fix the roll call on which the break
shall be made. The adjournment to-
night was taken, they claim, to give
the big Three" and especially Sen.
ator Cullom, an opportunity to capitu-
late
1t Is by no means certain yet what
Senator Cullom will do. The Lowden
men themselves say that he is way
ering between Surrendering to them
on the best terms he can secure. and
going into the Deneen camp and TAX
Ing his chances. 1t is given out by
the Yates men that he is to devote to-
night to hearing advice and making
up his mind. The actual following
the senator has in view is not large
but his support will be able to help
any candidate in the case of a break.
The dark horse" proposition is be-
ing discussed again very freely, though
no few candidates have been put for.
ward.
Friends Of Judge Sherman said to-
night that though he had given his
votes to Deneen and had thereby
shown that he could deliver" there |
was a string to his withdrawal and
that he can get into the race again at |
any time
given up hope yet by any means. They |
are still relying on their second choice |

much longer.
II, J. Hamlin and his friends declare |
they are still in the race and il the |
claims of all the candidates are to be
believed, the deadlock Is still on as |
firmly as ever. Indications point |
however, to a break tomorrow.
