The state central committee sat on
Monday and Tuesday hearing the evil
dence in the contested or protested
counties of Scott, Carroll. Boone, Polk.
Jefferson, Jasper, Wapello, Dallas and
Audubon. On Wednesday morning it
decided to place upon the temporary
roll call the Perkins delegation from
Jefferson, Jasper, Wapello, Dallas and
Audubon, and the Cummins delega-
tons from Scott, Carroll, Boone and
Polk. This decision made it certain
that the Cummins delegations would
control the convention by good
working majority over those of Per-
kins and Rathbun.
The district caucuses on Wednes-
day morning gave the Cummins forces
the state central committee and the
committee on credentials while the
committees on resolutions and perma-
nent organization were in control OF
the standpatters. This arrangement
was the result of compromise in the
Second district by which the progress

Gladstnpe's Books.


Gladstone's activity as book COZ
fector is Interestingly discussed in an
article on his library in the Nine
teenth Century. He took to reading
at very early age, and, like many
another boy. was enthralled by "Pil-
grim's Progress" and the Arabian
Nights" In his school days, and In
deed through his whole career, he was
an eager student Of Homer. Late in
life he confessed an enormous debt to
Aristotle, Augustine, Dante and But
Ter. When he was so years old his
growing library necessitated the addi-
ton Of new wing to the castle at
Hawarden. Yet he was by no means
q rabid book-buyer." For rare books,
first editions and elaborate bindings
he had no special passion, though he
was glad enough to get them. Sec
ond-hand catalogues" rained in by
every post, and were always carefully
scanned and marked for immediate
purchase" Mr.. Gladstone's tastes ran
strongly to religion, theology, and
such kindred topics as history and
philosophy. He was, In fact, some
times accused of being more theo-
logan than statesman. Whenever he
saw a book on witchcraft, strange re-
ligious Eects and the ethics Of mar.
riage. he invariably bought It: but, as
everyone is aware, he was an omniv.
orous reader; he enjoyed Shakespeare
and Scott and he liked to run over
the last new novel.

Chairman Spence of the state cen.

to order at 10:45 o'clock and an

The call for the convention was

Judge Towner proceeded with his ad

The first applause which he elected
was when he referred to the fact that
prosperity would be the subject of
most of the campaign efforts and that
the republican party's wise policy is
responsible in large measure there
for. The protective tariff policy has
eliminated in this golden year, the

THE republicans of Iowa in conven-
ton assembled declare:.
I'VE find abundant cause for rejoic-
ing in conditions prevailing. The
country as a whole is increasingly
prosperous and our state is experience
ing the climax of production and pros
perity. We are rightly proud of the
history of our party, which for so
which has been conferred upon me by
many years has determined the polio
les and directed the administration Of
our public affairs.

acter, important achievements and un-
daunted leadership Of Theodore Roose-
welt. 1t is with exceeding pride that
we contemplate the confidence re-
posed in him by the people of our
country and the admiration which
he commands from the whole world
iowa rejoices in the prominence
and influence of its representatives in
the cabinet and in congress. They
have discharged the duties Of public
station with honor and high credit to
themselves, the state and the nation,
and deserve the esteem and affection
of the people whom they have so faith
fully served.
I'VE approve most heartily the
work Of the delegation in the recent
session. 1t is most gratifying to know
that their influence was exerted in
behalf Of legislation which will pro-
tect the health Of our people and
equality Of opportunity upon
our commercial highways.

Cummins delegations in Jasper, Wap.

a dissenting opinion on the report re-

When the question was put, the

War May Break Out Between
Two Local Stock Boards
Mining Brokers Likely to Have Competition in
Their Business From Bond Exchange

Two exchanges in this city may be
selling mining stocks in few days.
Such is the expectation OF certain mem
bers of the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board. There is an intima-
ton in the air of war. The story is
out that If the Stock and Bond Ex-
change is not permitted to buy the
seats that 1t desires In the San Fran
cisco Stock and Exchange Board the
mining stocks will be called daily by
the Stock and Bond brokers.
There is nothing to prevent the Stock
and Bond Board from adopting this
course The securities are for sale.
There are abundant buyers and sellers.
But the Stock and Bond brokers who
are back of the move to deal in mining
stocks have seen fit to go at the mat
ter in another way. They have first
asked the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board TO do something. II
a refusal Is given the former can say
that they did not enter the field of
mining stocks brokerage with scheme
to take the business away from those
who now have it; also they can say
that they have merely protected them
selves.
These are some of the aspects OF a
situation that is becoming more inter
esting daily. The proposition OF the
Stock and Bond Board implies the put
! ting up of something like $500 for
the purchase of seats in the San Fran
] cisco Stock and Exchange Board. Vir-
/ tually, some of the more prominent
among the mine brokers say. 1t
/ amounts to a consolidation of the two
boards II the scheme Is logically car
ried out.
While s25o,ooo is considerable sum
of money for the Stock and Bond Board
to put up, mining brokers say that the
| San Francisco Stock and Exchange
Board does not need 1t and that 1T Is
no inducement to persuade 1t to divide
Its business with the other board.
The fire of last April destroyed the
records and other valuable effects of
the San Francisco Stock and Exchange
Board, but it's real estate on Pine
street, with the old mining stock build
/ ing, was sold months before that The
| s250,00 which is mentioned as an ap-
proximate figure offered by the Stock
and Bond Board, 1t is conceded, might
furnish a desirable addition to build
! ing fund for the San Francisco Stock
ceded that the Stock and Bond Board
has other advantages to offer to the
mining stocks brokers.
| While the matter Is pending the
members of the Stock and Bond Board
are keeping very still. There is q
penalty of $3.50 for talking about the
boards affairs when any secret trans
action is concerned. The negotiations
were pursued yesterday. The San Fran
cisco Stock and Exchange Board rep
resentatives went to the committee rep
resenting the Stock and Bond Board to
have certain phases of the proposition
further elucidated. This gave rise to
a rumor that the parties were nearing
an agreement, but this was disputed.
The matter may come, to an issue
today in the San Francisco Stock and
! Exchange Board when the weekly ex-
ecutive meeting will be held.
