man, came down. "well. judge" thu
latter was asked, what do you know
that is new and startling?" mot q
thing, not thing" replied the Judge
except that this Is peaceful Sab

Just then someone in the rear gave
a shout for Bryan Champ Clark
rooter standing right beside him came
back with an Jaw what cher doin,?'
And then the fracas started. The rela.
tive merits of the two great demo.
Gratis were reviewed In detail, but in

Everyone else but the Missourian was

/ Up at the Rennert hotel W. A. Null
vaney of Cherokee, a delegate from
the eleventh district, registered at 3
O'Clock. Mr.. Mulvaney was as happy
as boy over the Chicago outcome.
ITS time for hell to 90 Methodist"
said he, remembering the quotation Of
the great Dolliver, for Iowa is sure
going democratic this fall" Then with
smile he said: "They couldn't have
done 1t better for our side out in ,hi-
cage, could they? Rem ember that pri-
mary a couple OF weeks back? Will
Iowa support a stand-pat ticket, one
by an even greater one? Never. Iowa
il. All we need Is to name progress
sive democrat here. All democrats are
progressives this year"
lowans Have Good Quarters.
These sentiments we're endorsed by
N L. Arrison of Ottumwa, who is
the Iowa sergeant at arms for the con-
vention. Mr.. Arrison has been here
week getting things in shape for the
convention. He attended to the rent
ing of Iowa quarters in the Rennert.
They consist of twenty-seven rooms
and large reception room on the par
lor floor. For the twenty-seven bed /
rooms the small sum Of $1,465 is paid
and the reception rooms costs $25 a !,
day besides. Yet these are regular"
hotel prices in Baltimore.
Charles Walsh of Ottumwa, who
from the Bryan wing Of the
democracy some years ago, is at the
Emerson. He is now under the Hearst
banner and is whooping it up all day |
and all night for Champ Clark, as are
all Of the other 1owars.
c. A. Miller of Waverly came down
to fight the plank proposed by Sena-
tor Owen of Oklahoma for national

mer of Davenport spent Sunday sight
seeing in the care of w. D. Jameson
of Corning who has been here for
some time.
All of the 1owans attended the Clark

night.
Thousand Iowans Expected.
The Iowa headquarters at the Rem
merit promise to be busy place.
Nearly thousand Iowans visited the
Denver convention in 1908 and almost
that many are expected at Baltimore.
In fact, Happy Arrison, as the genial
sergeant at arms las been nick-ns.med
ty his freres, will be sadly disappoint-
ed If the Denver number Is not In
creased, despite the longer and more
trip here.
At the Belvedere, where the Illinois
headquarters have been set up, G. H.
Tavenner, candidate for congress
from the Rock Island and Moline dis
trict. spent Sunday making new &C
uuaintances and renewing old ones.
Tavenner Is being counted upon by his
democratic friends to come home with
the bacon in November. He's going to
do his best to do it, too.
Senator elect Vardaman OF Miss1s.
sippi got in on Saturday morning and
on the streets in his immacu-
ate white flannel suit BY Sunday
night the senator had made forty
seven changes, having been caught in
two or three rain storms and damned
around in the mobs by the curious,
who were anxious to see his long
black hair and aborigine countenance
at close range.
All of the Iowans here are wonder
ing who the Cummins men will sup.
port in the November election. Cum
Minis, they assert, cannot consistently
support Taft He dare not break out Of
he party and support the third term
If he wants to return to the
senate in 1915 Most all Of them figure
hat he will keep mighty mum.
