Des Moines. July 90. 1t develops
that much outside pressure has been
brought to bear on the leaders of the
progressive party in Iowa to have them
sanction the nomination Of county tick
cts, legislative candidates. independent
movements for congress and q state
ticket. The local papers here were
filled with material intended to bring
that question to the front.
The pressure comes from four dis
tinct sources. the republicans who want
to make trouble for Senator Kenyon,
those who personally have a grievance
against Clarke, few who want to
make the new party a vehicle for get
ting into petty offices, and last but not
least those who believe that If the
party will mix into local affairs 1t will
soon get into such deep water that the
fight on Taft and Wilson will be for
gotten and as q factor in the national
contest it will disappear.
Hunting Trouble.
In one small group Of politicians In
Des Moines, tor instance. there Is utter
disregard Of the interests Of Kenyon
and in another there is fear of Clarke
and some jealousy Of him. Both crowds
want something done to make trouble
for somebody aside from Taft. and each
one believes his friends will be pro-
tected and the other fellow get the
worst Of 1t. Among those who are pri-
marily. for Taft, however, there is now
much sentiment. as disclosed the past
few days, that the best way to prevent
the Roosevelt party from becoming the
big thing in Iowa politics as related to
the national issue Is to divert its at
tention to state offices having nothing
to do with the issue Of fraud.
In the meantime the leaders Of the
progressive party are looking for some
one to take charge Of their campaign
who Is familiar with state affairs and
who has no aspiration for himself as an
office seeker.
