Judoeshlp Conventions May BE Rallies
Des Moines.-Managers of both Of
the parties are formulating plans to
be submitted to the state committees
when they meet to call judgeship con-
ventions, for great party demonstra-
lions in connection with the conven-
tons.
1t seems to be assumed that the
conventions will be held in Des
Moines in order to make them and
the demonstrations especially con-
spicuous and most largely attended.
In view OF the fact that the con-
ventions will have but one thing to
do. the nominating Of candidates for
supreme Judge. the managers are fig-
uring on having general conference
ct party workers and leaders. and tre-
mendous rallies in the evening OF
convention day.
The democrats are trying to ar.
range 1t to bring their vice presiden-
tial candidate, John w. Kern. to Des
Moines as the national feature and
figure In their big demonstration.
Chairman FRANKIE Of the republi-
can committee has In mind several
national figures for the republican
occasion, and when the state COM
mittee meets Tuesday not only will
the plan for expanding the conven-
ton into state rally for the real
opening Of the national campaign be
laid before the meeting. but also the
plans suggested by the chairman in
detail.
Woe President Sherman will not be
able to come to the state at that time,
probably. on account Of his health.
but other prominent men can be
brought in.
There seems to be general oppesi-
ton to the idea of having the state
conventions during fair week.
As to the rate proposition, It is
now believed that the Commercial
club will be able to secure rates for
the state convention even If 1t is not
held during fair week.
II held during fair week. the hotels
will be crowded. of course. and &C.
commodations for the convention IT.
self cannot be arranged, because
there must be certain number OF
days notice for the use Of the audi
forum.
The suggestion has been made that
tent might be enlisted for the con-
vention. but that is not regarded as
feasible. altogether.
The impression prevails that It
would be more satisfactory to the
delegates to the state convention and
| the throng OF republicans who will
attend it II the occasion also is used
for opening the state campaign in the
biggest and most representative state
rally ever held by the party, to hold
It some time in the ffst week in Sep
TENDER. than II the convention Is
brought here during fair week
