Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. s-If the repubi-
can state ticket Is defeated. In whole
or in part. or brought to the danger
point, it will not be the fault OF the
progressive republicans OF the state.
Some time ago one OF the candidates
FOR state office who is classed as a
standpatters was complaining to the
state committee about the apathy and
lack OF activity on the part Of the re-
publicans. He was told bluntly that
the committee would be doing great
business IL this candidate would only
swing his standpat friends into line for
the ticket. He was told that the pro-
gressives were causing no trouble. but
that the whole trouble came from those
standpatters who claimed to De alone
the regulars of the party. When 1t
came to getting men to do active cam :
paign work for the party the state
committee had TO rely absolutely upon
the progressive republicans. except in
the cases Of the few Of the opposition
who were candidates themselves. Eff
fective work was done in the state by
cummins. Byers Garrett. Garst.
Thorne, Cosson, Carroll. Clarke and
others.
Roosevelt Was Feared.
That there was real fear among some
OF the party workers that the visit of
Roosevelt to the state might do more
harm than good was an open secret.
His wonderful tact. however. dispelled
all this, for what he did was TO urge
marty unity on the broad score of the
ultimate progressive tendency of the
party. All the republican leaders here
believe that the Roosevelt meetings did
great good To a very large extent.
also, the visit of Roosevelt to Iowa this
last time cleared up the situation as
to- his own standing as progressive
and answered some of the criticism
which has been directed against him.

with all her crew aboard, lies in 80
fathoms of water. She was sent to
the bottom Of the English Channel by
the cross-channel steamer Pas de Ca
laise, which, crowded with passengers
bound for Dover, struck the partly
submerged Pluviose when about two
miles from the harhor.
Accounts differ as to the cause of
the accident. Admiral Fournier has
expressed the opinion that the sub
marine attempted to pass beneath the
steamer, while other naval officials
believe that the Pluviose. after q
long dive, came up by chance direct
ly under the paddle wheels.
The shock of the contact brought
the passengers to the steamers rails,
and they saw almost instantly the
hull of the submarine, rolling about
as though trying to right herself. A
boat was hastily launched, but the
laundering craft, which seemed to
have been hard hit, turned partly
over and disappeared.
Signals of distress from the Pas
de Calais, which was making water
rapidly, brought two tugs to the
scene, and later a torpedo-boat de-
stroyer put out and anchored near
where the Pluviose had gone down.
Within an hour or two a wrecking
vessel was lying near the destroyer
and her divers were sent down to
locate the Inflated submarine, en-
tombed in which are officers and
"a men.
The chances of rescue are very.
slim, because, in the opinions of ex--
perts. either the naphtha reservoirs
of the Pluviose burst or the craft was
so badly damaged that she filled. !.
A powerful undercurrent baked
the divers in their attempt to reach
the Pluviose, and II the imprisoned
men are not already dead it Is al
most certain that the delay will prove
fatal. The submarine lies in many
fathoms of water and the divers were
only able to descend short distance;

Rush For The Deck.
The collision occurred about F.
M, in a heavy fog which overhung
the lake, and when the two steamers
came together the crew of the Good
year, which Is reported to have been
struck amidships, had only time to
seize life-preservers, and only few
could Jump overheard before the
boat began to fill with water. The
cook had just sounded the second
call for breakfast on the Goodyear
when the crash came and many
were in the messroom. All rushed
on deck and then the boat began
to sink. Some jumped into the wat
er and managed to get out OF reach
of the boat, which was fast filing.
Suddenly the Goodyear parted in
the center, and with a sound which
could be heard above the whistling
of the Wood, sank out of sight, car
rying all but five down with her.
: The bow Of the Wood was badly
stove in, but she rested on her bulk
head and, although some waite dow
ed into the hold, was kept af1oat
through the efforts of the pumps.
Following the accident Captain
Gibson, OF the Wood, ordered the
lifeboats lowered and gave the crew
instruction to make every effort to
save any Of the sailors Of the sink
ing steamer.
Within short time the yawlboat
was brought alongside the Wood

For more than seven hours the
Wood remained at anchor near the
scene of the collision, the CAPTAIN
hoping that he would be able to
save some more of the crew of the
Goodyear. When the fog arose there
was nothing in sight and, as his boat
was badly damaged and in danger OF
sinking also, Captain Gibson decided
to return to this rrt.
