DIES MONIES. Nov. E'-,specialD Walt
Butler, ex-congressmau from the Fourth
Iowa district, may be named by the demo-
cratic state central committee tomorrow
as the Iowa representative on the national
democratic committee. w w. Marsh Of
Waterloo who was sutt candidate for
the position, with every show Of having a
majority of both the Iowa and the national
committee with him. has withdrawn from
the race, which leaves the field open. Hon.
Cato Sells of Ninton was a candidate Tor
the position. and the fight between these
two men for the position previous to cleo
ton day was one of the features OF the
campaign. 1t is asserted now among poll
ticians that the committee tomorrow will
terminate the fight by making a selection.
and that though the committee is strongly
of the conservative wing of the party. IL
will name a radical Bryan democrat for the
national committeeship. but one who has
been working all during the past campaign
with the committee. 1t is charged that
Cato Sells. though a Bryan man. has been
! inactive during the campaign. This leaves
| General Weaver and Congressman Walt
| Butler as the most conspicuous members
Of the party meeting that requirement. ant

withdrawal from the race Of w. w. Marsi
! Of Waterloo comes the rumor that induen
J tial and monied democrats OF the stat,
will start a morning democratic newspaper
/ in this city. Mr. Marsh is one Of tn,
/ woalthiest men in the state. He is the chic
| owner of the Waterloo Times-Tribune,
| moring daily paper and having made
| success Of that venture. and being anxious
for larger feld. he has an eye on De-
| Moines. This rumor may to some extern
| explain the reasons for the withdrawal o
Mr.. Marsh from the race for Iowa com
mitteeman. The talk of a morning demo
cratic daily in Des Mones has been activ
for some years. 1t is revived every cam
paign and several times year ever sine

have for the most part looked to Hears
