IOWA REPUBLICANS FIGHTING
TO PREVENT SPLIT IN PARTY
War Waged for Control Of State Convention
Brings About Grave Dangers

Des Moines, Ia, July 31.--The talk
today particularly during the after.
noon was about peace--not exactly
peace at any price but peace in
order to avert the possibility of two
state tickets and the risk Of the loss
Of state offices and Of two or three
congressman in close districts.
The state centra1 committee re-.
sumed its hearing of contests filed on
behalf of Perkins and about noon the
rnmor became current that efforts
We're making to effect compromise,
looking TO the nomination Of only one
ticket.
1t was said that an attempt would
be made to get together the two steer.
ing committees with the view Of an
agreement to nominate Cnmins for
governor and thus have harmonious
convention Champions of both fac.
tions denied knowledge of such a
movement.
Work for Harmony.
Nevertheless an effort was made to
secure harmony, though the steering
committees were not consulted The
movers for peace were the Iowa dele
cation in congress. They met this after
noon and very speedily came TO the
that 1t was neces AIRY fQ1
the Republicans OF Iowa to have a
peaceful convention and nominal
only one ticket.
They therefore reserved TO have &
talk with the state committee and to
tell hem in effect tnat they should
take no action which might result In
A split. They presented nothing speci-
&c but the committee was given to un
lerstand exactly what the congress
iional delegation meant and the com
nittee began TO think.
The committee spent the entire day
n contest work. So far they have
heard six of the twelve cases sub
nitted, both sides having been heard,
hough the representatives of the |
Jummins delegates denied the juris.

simply "out of courtesy" to furnish
