Committee Bill a Party Measure
and Leave Democrats
without Influence.
(From a Stan Correspondent.)


DIES MONIES, Ia. Feb. Especial
Telegrsm)--At a joint caucus OF the
house and senate democrats this after
noon IL was decided to leave TO a sub
committee. consisting of Senators Moon
and Lambert and Representatives Damar,
Schultz and Miller of Bremen. the task of
going over the two primary election bills
now before the legislature. with instruc-
tions to report at a caucus to be called
next week. An effort was made to get the
caucus to unite on a primary measure,
but there was opposition to this. IL the
democrats caucus on the measure and
adopt a party bill II almost surely will be
followed by the republicans doing the
same. The measure would then be passed
by the republicans under party whip, with
the democrats having no voice in The
measure whatever. Unless party influence
is brought to bear It is believed the vote
of both houses on the primary would not
divide on party lines, as both parties are
divided on the measure. Miller of Bre-
mer is understood TO favor party meas

Demar and others are not ready to do so

be discontinued. Notwithstanding this.
several appropriation bills are already in
