Special to Times-Republican.

SpecEal to T1meS-RepubltCan.
Washington, June 2.-Members of
the Iowa house delegation hear from
home that the democrats plan vigor-
GUS campaign all along the line next
year, beginning with the nomination Of
strong man against Carroll for gov
ernor, in the belief that there is a
serious chance to beat him. They also
purpose strong congressional nomina-
tions in every district, especially the
First, Second, Seventh and Ninth.
Anti -Cannonism will be made an is-
sue In the districts whose representa-
ttves have supported Cannon. The
tariff bill will be made an issue in
others. Jerry Sullivan, Judge Wade
and others are suggested for governor,
according to the political letters which
come here. Many republicans write a
suggestion of serious doubts whether
Carroll ought to run again, and talk
of Lieutenant Governor Clark is strong.
The Washington end of Iowa hopes
to avoid fight on Carroll, believing it
will be demoralizing all along the line
In the Second district Dearmond, of
Scott, brother Of Representative Dear
mond, of Missouri, is regarded as a
likely democratic candidate against
Dawson, and the latter is now In his
district looking after his interests. Real
concern is felt about the temper dis
played by the people to members about
the tariff bill.

Nine months, from Tune, 1908, to
April, 1909, the trustees say. show a
decrease of s2,5S0.000 as compared with

Chicago, June 2.-The mystery sur
rounding the death Of Mrs. Nora Jane
Cleminson was brought nearer a solu-
ton this afternoon, it is believed, when

told me proves true, several others be-
side the prisoner are implicated in the
death of Mrs. Cleminson," said Kane
According to Cleminson's story tho
crime which brought the woman to the
grave is one of the worst in the history
of Chicago"
According to Kane, Cleminson told
him Mrs. Cleminson had tried to COM
NIT suicide two weeks ago by taking
chloroform. The physician said he hal
found an empty chloroform bottle and
had asked her about 1t. She denied
having used any of the poison, and the
physician said he believed her. When
hefound her dead on last Sunday he de-
clared he decided to tell the burglar
story because he did not think any
postmortem would be held. and that
his story would be believed
