Special 10 Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 2.-Judge Prouty
/ has opened headquarters in the Fem
ing block and has virtually placed his
campaign in the hands OF a committee
Of i've republicans. These are mainly
business men Of Des Moines The no.
ton has prevailed that the business in
teresrs Of Des Moines had been lined
up soIdly for Huh, and it IS certain
! that so far as any OF the various or
gaiZations Of boosters could 90 il. this
has been done, but il turns out that
there are about as many business men
| Of Des Moines for Prouty as there are
for Hull. A very strong effort has been
made 10 turn the Iaboring men against
Prouty on the score that inasnuch as a
few OF them favored Dowell they have
been badly used by the discovery on
the part % DoweH that he did no:
have any show al all. OF course the
Hull men insist that Dowel was -'driv-
IN out Of the field by somebody in
some way. when the fact is that after
"a canvass of the situation he found
that ne had no strength q all outside
of Des Aioines, hence he quietly got out
OF the way, The great majority Of the
laborjng man Of Des Moines are pro-
grsssives.

Des Aoln4s republicans are becoming
q little nervous over the situation as 70

Il tney are 10 be punished for the at
t'tade OF The party as whole in the
state. The term OF office Of the present
pension commissioner for the Iowa

done. Republicans are recalling the
threat made some time ago that pro-
sresslYes We're 70 De punished by de-
pElVlHg them OF the patronage Of the
othces and are wondering Il Hedge is
10 De singled out Tor punishment as
an example TO all who do not accept
the s1andpat orders.
Il Is true that Hull and Smith did
mo- indorse Hedge, tho il is claimed
they would not fight him But Hull
ana hedge have not worked with the
Iowa delegation in any matters Of i'm :
and their insurgency was not surpris-
ing,
Captain Hedge is perhaps least wor-
ried Of all. He was not q candidate
for the place and did nothing TO land
1t. He is in no hurry about the matter.
Neither is w. V Wilcox, the present
man Bun as 10 the time tried and
tested republicanism Of Hedge there
can be no doubt.
