Des Moines, Sept. 6.-There has been
a disposition on the part of some per-
sons TO criticise the candidates of the
republican party in Iowa for congress
because of the meeting which was held
during state fair week for the purpose
of working out plan for mutual help
and 10 devise plans for checkmating
the boiling scheme of the hotheads and
irreconcilables of the party 1t had be-
come known that organization work is
being done in the state under guise of
loyalty to Taft" or something equally
vague, the purpose of which was TO
Systematically direct the contem plated
bolt from the party Most OF this or
ganization work has thus far been done
in the Seventh, Sixth and Fourth dis
tricts, but a little Of it also in the Sec
ond district 1t is directed in the main
toward securing a democratic congress
and more especially to seeing TO it that
the progressives do not have a repre-
sentation sufficiently large TO have any
weight in national affairs. Because Of
this organization of the boilers the
members of congress and candidates
met 70 consider The state of the ma
ton, as il were, and 10 devise pans
for checkmating the schemes OF the
''bolters' clubs
About all that was done was TO reach
a general understanding that where
ever it is deemed advisable there shall
be some exchange OF aid as between the
various candidates in their several dis
tricts BY so doing il was believed
there would be a better feeling among
republicans and better support for the
entire ticket.
But il has been advertised that. for
instance. Judge Prouty is going TO take
the stump for Judge Smith and vice
versa. and other similar exchanges arr
10 be made. and carrying with this
some sort of suggestion of a trade or
deal for the giving up Of party prin-
cipIes or laying aside OF principles
pending the campaign. This latter has
caused resentment from the friends Of
all the candidates.
As 10 whether or not there will be
any exchange OF speaking. it is stated
that this viii be decided in accordance
with conditions as they appear. Ii the
"bolters' clubs" alias Jackson COM
mittees, are showing up strongly later
in the campaign there may be a gen
eral movement TO wipe them off the
face of the state Al present the plan
act for himself and TO plan the cam
.paign in his own way.
The democratic state committee is
out in a circular letter to friends ask
-,cy - a. 20. 1r Of : %
campaign. Large and small conJribu-
tons are welcomed Chairman Reed
gives assurance that if The campo ign
can be properly financed 50 that the
democrats can be reached and be in
duced 70 come out and vote their tick
Ct straight, there are excellent reasons
for believing the state ticket can be
elected The committee is without
funds save as contributed by a few
prominent democrats of the state. and
the plan Is 70 conduct a campaign that
VIII cost very little money. The situ-
alton is entirely different from that
which prevailed four years ago when
the matter Of finances had been ar
ranged prior 10 the holding of the state
convention and when fund Of Sac
600 came INTO the state from the out
side for the purpose Of affecting the
result on governor 1t is stated that
no such arrangement has been made
this year and thai none is possible un-
der the circumstances. But most Of the
candidates and speakers viii be ex-
pected 70 pay their own expenses.
Information comes from Madison
county to the effect that among the
old naighbors Of the late Rev. Daniel
Francis in that county. where he lived
many years, there Is good deal of
Indignation because of the recent de-
cision Of the supreme court upholding
his gift of al his property to the
Preachers Aid Society Of the Des
Moines conference. II seems that his
widow is cripple and helpless and IS
thus left without a cent TO provide for
her living and care Francis gave his
per;y 70 the society for the purpose
os aiding in the establishment Of a
home for preachers. In the district
court, upon contest, Judge McHenry
held that the contract of transfer Of
the property was void because the
maker was of unsound mind at the
time and was unduly influenced. The
higher court reversed this position.
The decision will, however, result in
the establishment Of some sort Of
home for ministers of the NJ E church.
probably in Des Moines, tho the plans
have never been worked out.
All reports from the state indicate
that the recent rains have been general
and that their influence has been ves--y;-
valuable IN helping out the crop stu
ation. From every point come reports
of reviving pastures with the certainty
Of good grass for Iowa's many cows.
