PLANS UNDER WAY TO ENcoM
PASS DEFEAT OF BOTH DOL
LIVER AND cuMMlNS.
MENTION OF A. B. FUNK
is ONLY A BLIND
Evidence Also That standpatters Pro-
pose to Defeat Southern Iowa Con-
eressmen by Electine Democrats -
Another Harmony Meeting" About
Due.
Special to Times-Repuolican.

Des Moines, Jan. FITS about time
for another harmony conference of
Iowa republicans to find out whether
we are still on the map" said a life
long Iowa republican yesterday.
Il is announced here that already
plans are being laid for the defeat first
Of Senator Deliver and later the de-
feat OF Senator Curnnins. One Johns
ION" who handled the railroad money
IN the famous campaign in which the
democrats came near to capturing
Iowa, is quoted as favoring A. B. Funk
for senator 10 succeed Deliver; but it
is known that this is only a blind and
that the real object is to choose some
che Ike Lacey or Perkins or Palmer,
and that besides making use of the
name of Funk use is to be made of the
name OF Carroll and others.
The main purpose is first 20 discredit
Deliver so as TO render him harmless
as against the Alrich combine, and
then y serve Cumnins the same way
and - demonstrate TO the nation that
the historic attitude of the party in
Iowa is not approved now.
Evidence is accommodating that there
Is 20 be determined fight to either Sc
lact out and out standpatters to repre-
sent Iowa in the congressional districts
/ in southern Iowa or 10 turn them all
over 10 the democrats: and that in this
the plotters will have the support,
financial and literary, Of the republican
| congressional committee, the republic
can national committee, the state or
| ganization and the state adninistra-
/ ton. All the influence Of the old or
ganization which secured vast sums OF
corporation money to be poured into
Iowa in 1906 10 help the democrats VIII
be used 10 again defeat republicans
who are in line with their party in this
state
Republicans are pointing out that in
Nebraska a state meeting is 10 be held
10 Indicate what is the attitude OF the
nar+v in that state toward keeping the
pledges of the party and supporting It's
| principles. Nothing of the sort mas
heen suggested here. but it has been
limited that a meeting ought to De heio
to consider the state Of the party ano
10 plan Tor success.
