DEs MONIES, ia, Aug S.--(Specisl)--
While the campaign on state officials was
concluded with the state convention, the
campaign for control Of the legislature
is far from completed and in fact only
we'll started. There. is every Indication
that standpatters and progressives Will
conduct a vigorous campaign from nov
on for members Of the legislature. Legis-
laton Is as vital a matter with the two
factions of the party as the state Offices
and at the present time neither side Is in
control. A large number of the counties
of the state have nominated their senators
and representatives but the larger NUM-
Der have left this matter for subsequent
county convention to be held after the
state convention. In the senate the stand
patters have the advantage, for the reason
that the terms Of but twenty-one of the
fifty members expire this year and OF
those whose terms expire the greater
number are progressives, the standpatters
of the body holding over. In the house
the term of every member expires and sll
will be up for election. In Decatur county
a primary election for representative ard
county ofncers will be held September g.
Captain J. d. Brown is the only candidate
now in the field. In Taylor county pri-
mary TOT the same puTpOSe Will OS hetu
next week.
sOldiera' Day at Fair.
John c. Simpson, secretary OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, has arranged the plans
for the Soldiers day at the state fair. De
partment Commander c. A. Clarke OF the

held in the assembly tent which will be
pitched near the Polk county building, as
in years past Colonel d. ]. Palmer, state
railroad commissioner and Colonel NJ. L.
Temple will be the main speakers for the
| day Arrangements have been made also
! for the use of one of the rooms in the
Polk county building near by, which will
be used as a resting and lounging place for
| the old soldiers all through the fair week.
The program for the entire fair will be
announced/in a few days. This year the
Big Day business has been done away With.
There will be no one big day. such as Dan
Patch day of two years ago. Every day
will be a big day. The airship will beck
hibited every day and all the other attrac-
tions will be exhibited each day OF the
fair and Monday and Friday will be a.
