Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 31.-f the demo-
cratic leaders of Iowa had hoped to
make political capital from any al
legged dissension within the republican
ranks in the state, their hopes have
disseminate such claims. In response
to queries sent out to the editors OF
members of the party thruout the
state by the republican press bureau
scores of replies are being received in
every mail, pledging support for ev-
cry candidate, national, state legisla-
tive and county There has not been
a dissenting voice. All are for the
whole ticket, no matter what their
preferences may have been before the
primaries.
Expressions from the leaders, who
were lined up for different candidates
before the primary, indicate that all
are heartily working for the candidates
for whom the majority of Iowa repub-
licans expressed preference
This is due not alone to the elm
ination by the progress of events, of
possibility for difference of opinion on
matters of party policy, but also tc
the realization that Iowa must rally
once more as she did in 1896 and 1870
and deliver a tremendous protest
against unsound political doctrines
promulgated by Bryan.
| Bryanism has never been popular In
Iowa. Other states have been car
ried away by his polished but empt,
oratory and brillinat platitudes, but
Iowa has increased her condemnators

the Nebraskan's4 speaking trips thru
her territory
| These expressions are contained II
the letters being received from the
Iowa editors, who reflect the sentimen
in their various communities. ~
/ General satisfaction, too. is ex.
pressed by the Iowa editors, in the
state ticket. Even those who frankly
acknowledge that they had other pref
erences before the primary, are united
/ in declaring that the men nominated
for state officers on the republican
| ticket are clean. capable men, whc
have stood the test of close scrutiny II

the examination with high percentages
Attorney General Byers has sus-
tanned Chairman Eaton of the state
F, railroad commission in the latter's
contention in regard to the effect OF
the law passed by the last legislature
on request.
They hold that the law affects inter-
state as we'll as intrastate shipments
of coal.
In correspondence between the rail-
road board and the Illinois Contra
railroad company the latter suggested
that it had a right to charge SO pei
| car on interstate shipments of coal into
Iowa and If the state didn't think so il
could be tested in the courts.
1t is supposed that the matter will
now find it's way into the courts. The
dispute being over clear cut issue
the whole facts were laid before Attor-
ney General Byers who yesterday COM
municated to the railroad commission
that he agreed perfectly with the
chairman of the board.
