First Division in Operation Soon.


despite an unfavorable season, con-
struction work on the Dan Patch Elec-
trio Line has progressed rapidly, and,
if weather conditions continue good,
the line will be completed and operation
begun on the first division this fall. !"
This statement made a few days ago
by M. w. Savage, president of the
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester and
Dubuque Electric Tractisn Company is
good news to stock holders and the
thousands of persons living along the
new interurban line, who are anxiously
awaiting the time when they will be
able to take advantage of the modern
transportation to be afforded. There
has been little said concerning the pro-
gress of the new line during the last
few months and few people have
gained the idea that the Dan Patch
line would never reach the operating
stage.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Savage and
the men connected with him in push
ing this great enterprise have done
very little talking the work has been
going steadily forward, and results are
now apparent. From reports of men
who have made trips along the right of
way and from photographs sent out by
the Company, it is known that the new
$50. 600 draw bridge across the Mime
sofa river at Savage, Mimi, is now
completed; that rails and ties have been
ordered and are already on the ground;
that the work of laying rails on the
Minnesota river bridge northward to-
wards Minneapolis has been begun, and
that an expensive grade has been prac-
tically completed as far south as North
field. Gasoline motor cars have been
been ordered by the Company and will
be used to furnish the initial service on
the new line.
In conjunction with the actual work
of construction, there has been going
on the equally important work of Sc
curing franchises, closing up right of
way deals, and making the preliminary
and location surveys fro m Mortified to
Dubuque, the souther n terminus of the
line.
As proof of the progress made, the
company has announced the withdrawal
of their free common stock offer for
August Goth. The directors feel GER
tain that as soon as the first section
of the line is put in operation, people
not only In Minnesota and Iowa, but
over more extended territory will ap-
preciate the value of the Dan Patch
Line as an Investment, and that the
present liberal offer of free common
stock will be unnecessary. They state
that the common stock will at once be-
come too valuable to be given as a
bonus with the preferred.

most cheerful and roseate estimate of
the outcome in the country at large.
His declaration that the democrats of
the nation expect the democrats of
Iowa to do their share lent encourage
ment to the democrats present.
Many speakers of national fame will
be brought into the state for the cam
paign to cooperate with Fred E. White,
Claude R. Porter, Jerry B. Sullivan,
Judge Wade, General Weaver and the
score or more of other prominent Iowa
democrats who will be active on the
stump from the start to the finish of
the campaign.
Governor johnson of Minnesota,
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, Sena-
tor Gore of Oklahoma, who started
the Bryan demonstration in the Denver
convention, will all come to Iowa, fol-
lowing the Bryan meeting in Des
Moines, August 81.
Vice Presidential Candidate Kern will
also be brought to the state for several
speeches. Other men of national repu-
tation will be drafted in the Iowa cam
paign.
This is on the theory, of course, that
there is chance to carry Iowa for
Bryan and to elect United States
senator.

organization has been made under the
management of Chairman Price and
Secretary Dalton than ever before in
the life of the democratic party in Iowa
At the conference yesterday were
many of the leaders in the democratic
party.
Claude R. Porter, candidate for SEN
ator, and Fred E. White, candidate for
governor, were two of these. Mr..
White will speak today at the Chau-
tauqua at Oakland in Pottawattame
county, and Mr.. Porter will go to Glen
wood, where he will speak at the Mills
county Chautauqua. These speeches
are to be on the democratic days at the
respective assemblies.
Mr.. White has many dates already
made for the campaign but after Sept.
1st he will be in the hands of the state
committee.
Mr.. Porter also has many dates and
he will spend the weeks of his campaign
making speeches largely in Iowa.
National Committeeman M. j. Wade
was one of the conspicuous figures at
the conference. He declared that the
chance for democratic success today is
extremely gratifying, both in Iowa and
the nation. His remarks, taking the
broad view of the situation, created
much enthusiasm among the democrat
ic workers.

CAMPAIGN OPENS SEPT. 1st.
Conference of Iowa Democrats Held
in Des Moines Last Week.

'If anything were needed to convince

to the head of our state ticket the out
look for Mr.. Bryan is far better.
Hundreds of republicans in every
county of Iowa have assured our repre-
sentatives that they will this year vote
for Mr.. Bryan, to the end that the
people will rule
Des Moines, Aug. 14.-Iowa demo-
Gratis will open their campaign for
Bryan and White at Ottumwa, Tuesday,
Sept. 1st. Fred E. White, candidate
for governor, will be the speaker.
Whether meetings will be held in the
districts simultaneously, has not yet
been decided.
The democrats will hold their state
convention to nominate candidate for
supreme court judge on either Sept
18th or Sept. oath, or on date between
the two.
1t has been decided to hold this judicial
convention in the city of Des Moines.
Fred E. White, democratic candi-
date for governor, said last evening
that he was confident that if the elec-
tion were to be held now the demo-
Gratis would sweep Iowa easily and he
sees no reason for believing that the
situation will change materially be-
tween this time and election day.
Other leaders in the party expressed
the most sanguine anticipations with
respect to the outcome in Iowa this
year. Reasonably we'll satisfied before,
their confidence has been redoubled
they say by the apparent controversy
imminent in the republican party over
the senatorial succession.
The conference yesterday was for
the purpose of securing the views of
the candidates and leaders and to per-
feet the organization for the demo-
cratic campaign in Iowa this year. 1t
continued all day at the Savery and
was followed by state committee
meeting at which definite steps toward
perfecting the organization were taken
or planned.
Judge M. j. Wade of Iowa City,
the national committeeman of the
party, was at the conference yester-
day and conveyed words of encourage
