It is conceded on all sides that the stand

which meets Wednesday to select delegates
to the national convention and it is under
stood that the probable selection OF the
four dslegates-at-large viii be George D.
Perkins Of Sioux City. Lafayette Young Of
Des Molnes. Ernest Z. Hart Of Council
Bluffs and Joe r. Lane OF Davenport
There is a bare possibility that Adams Of

national committeeman from Iowa The
selection of national committeeman is made
by the delegation to the national conven-

Mr. Adams candidacy has not been an
nounced, but it is understood that he may
be selected. Major John =. Lacey Of the
Sixth district was candidate for delegate
at-large, but the Sixth district selected him
as one OF the district delegates, which takes

There is some little question as 10 what
win be the attitude OF the standpatters on
the tariff In next Wednesdays convention.
The term 'standpatter'' is q misnomer
when applied in Iowa which people out OF
the state do not understand 1t was started
because a number Of the most conspicuous
leaders Of that wing OF the republican
party to which Governor Cummins does not
belong. were really and truly stsndpatters
| on the tariff. But the faction now includes
many persons quite as radical on the tariff
as is Governor Cummins
For this reason there is some doubt as tc
the temper Of the delegates. COnfessedly
all are for Taft. but the Taft convention
in Ohio. the first Of the mbnth. adopted
| q tariff revision plank which calls for ere
vision Of the tariff by a special session OF
| the next congress"
While there has been some little talk oi
an uninstructed delegation. II is believed
that the convention next Wednesday viii
instruct for Taft, it viii also pass resolu
tons endorsing the candidaey OF Allison
and praising his service in the United
States senate.
