congratulations on the successful man

triumph for Secretary Shaw. Iowa was
a doubtful problem to the Republican
party up TO the very moment the con-

Shaw Ruled Convention.

The event proved that the astute Cabi-

ically. for the governor. He gave the
convention 10 understand. in a speech
which is already IN demand for cam
paign purposes. that the Administration
was not degiriOus of altering the tariff
schedule at this time, and his state
ments were taken at their face value
The convention rallied around him with
a unanimity Of purpose and expression
which left no ground on which the re-
visionists could stand, yet. at the same
time, without alternating them from al
leRianCe.
Inc Secretary was congratulated at
his success in achieving such a consum-
nation without any such attending re-
suits as have marked the Illinois and
Wisconsin conventions. He received the
praise of his friends modeslly, but adj
mitted that he was highly pleased with
the results accomplished.
