The latter demanded that the resolu-

gates moved to table his motion.
Finally all amendment We're tabled.
and the original platform was adopted,
with some dissenting votes from the
river counties.
Seek Republican Votes.
It Is nc secret that the delegates
from Scott and other strong anti-mulct
law counties are disappointed at the
result. On the other hand. the oppon-
ents Of Vollmer declare the insertion
Of local option plank would cost the
party thousands Of republican votes
who are coming over to democracy this
year. They point to the hope that the
legislature will be democratic. and say
that any proposed liquor legislation can
then be considered, with the assurance
that some concessions will be made to
the local optionists.
The fight over the terminal tax
measure plank threatened to become
interesting for few moments, but II
was soon lost sight Of in the turmoil
over the liquor question.

National Committeeman Martin j.
Wade scored triumph when the state
central committee reelected N. r
Reed, Of Ottumwa, state chairman.
Reed was defeated yesterday morning
for reelection as Sixth district COM
mitteeman, and Immediately announced
his candidacy for state chairman. He
had the active support Of Judge wade
and most Of the old members OF the
state committee. Reed had a ma1orit"
of the committee on the informal bal
lot. The other candidates were e. n.
Moore. of the Fifth district. and Earl
Bronson, Of the Eleventh.
Bronson Chosen Secretary.
Bronson was elected secretary, ana
Moore treasurer. Reed announced tnat
he would open headquarters II Des
Moines about Aug. 10 to Is.
Chairman Reed said after the meet
ing last night that the committee was
in harmony, and that an energetic CAM
paign would be waged against the re-
publicans all along the line

The convention was given over TO
much unnecessary oratory. After sew
eral candidates and the two chairmen
had delivered themselves of long ad-
dresses, there were nominating
speeches for the ten candidates for
supreme Judge. These latter speeches
from three to Ave min1tes
each. The convention was tired out
when the balloting was reached, and
when adjournment came at 6:45 less
than third Of the delegates were IN
the auditorium.
Ocennor and Craig.
From the first 1t was conceded that
Maurice o.Connor. of Fort Dodge. was
one Of the strongest candidates in the
race for the judgeship. His strength
quickly crystalized and he WAS named
with votes to spare, on the second bal
lot. Craigs early strength and his To-
cation determined his nomination on
the third ballot.
The convention proved great tri-
umph for the Bryan Wilson wing Of
the party. They are stronger than ever
in the state central committee. and
they controlled the resolutions COM
