vention makes no nominations save. for
the supreme judgeship. the attendance
promises to be very large, and more
than 1000 delegates are expected to
be here.
Democrats Are Optimistic.
Iowa democrats were never SO optt-
mistic as they are at present. About
the Hobbies Of the hotels, they recite
conditions in their home counties, point
with evident glee to alleged evidences
of republican disaffection, and boldly
assert their belief in an overwhelming
democratic victory in November.
So rosy appear the democratic
chances Of success to the democrats
that there are at least a dozen aspir-
ants for the nomination for supreme
court judges. Nearly every portion OF
the state has at least one candidate.
Among the men mentioned are Red
mond. of Cedar Rapids; Reed, Of Des
Theophilus, Of Davenport;
Sager, Of Waverly; O'Connor, of Fort
Dodge, and Wilson, of Greenfield.
Huber for Chairman.
It Is understood that Hon. 8. G.
Huber, of Tama, democratic candidate
for congress in the Fifth district. will
be made permanent chairman of the

sistance to him in his fight against
Congressman Good.
Hon. V. r. McGinnis, OF Leon. who
will sound the keynote, as temporary
chairman, will deliver a progressive
democratic speech. Mr.. McGinnis'
speech is rather lengthy, but the dem
ocrats are expected to be 50 interested
in their possible success in November
that they will forget all about its
length and the heat.
The platform will Of course affirm
the Baltimore document, and add few
paragraphs touching upon state issues.
No draft Of platform on state matters
has been prepared.
Committee Contests Promised.
Some interesting contests over mem
bership in the state central committee
are promised. Chairman Reed. who
represents. the Sixth district, has OPP
position both in his own district, and
for the craftsmanship. Henry Riegel-
mann. Of Des Moines. would be state
chairman. But it is predicted that
Reed will be winner.
Secretary John Dalton, Of Manson.
the Tenth district member, also has
opposition. but Dalton guarantees that
he will succeed himself.

making desperate efforts to secure the
presence Of some national spellbinders.
