Des MoInsa, Town, Nov. l0-An impor-
tant political conference touching the nut
ure Of the Republican party was held al
the Dos Moinee Club to-day, the con-
tsrrses being Governor Hadley OF Mis-
souri, and United States Senators Kenyon
and C,immins, Of Iowa, The conference
was arranged By telegraph by Govsnor
Hadley, and Is only preliminary 10 an
effort which tho Progressive Republicans
are starting to take over the old Republi-
can organisation.
The plans reported to have been dis
cursed, briefly outlined, contemplate the
elimination OF Colonel Roosevelt from the
Progressive Republican ranks. II will
be taken for granted that Roosevelt has
already eliminated himself. and purposes
10 proceed with his third party In 1915
1t is arranged that the ideas evolved with
the meeting here shall be submitted TO
such Prosressives az La Toilette, Borah.
Governor Stubs OF Kansas and others.
and II these men agree, meeting OF
Progressive Republican leaders from
every state will probably be called soon
At Chicago.
The purpose OF this meeting viii be to
declare formally that "stand-patism' IL
dead that the Republican party has
shaken of the deadwood of "stand-pat'
leaders. "stand-pst' issues and platforms,
and will hereafter be the only real Pro-
gressive party. Every Republican will be
lnvited to join under the new banner. and
the move started here. the participants
say. will result in the election Of Pro-
JressIve candidate for President In 1915
on the Republican ticket
II is not improbable that one Of the
three men in the conference. perhaps each
one OF them, may come prominently before
the country as Presidential candidates
