MINIS 10 expected back into Iowa as
early as Monday, for consultation with
trends as to what action should be
taken by the republican state conven-
ton. It Is known that he planned to
get members Of the congressional del
egation together and to talk over the
whole situation frankly that whatever
action taken might be with full knowl-
edge Of all who are interested. Every
republican member Of the delegation is
. candidate for reelection. The fact
that the First and Eighth districts,
represented by standpatters, have gone
progressive now, makes it of utmost
interest to both Towner and Kennedy
to have the convention harmonious.
The Ninth district is also squarely in
the progressive column. What is de-
sired by the members of congress will
likely have large bearing on the action
to be taken In Des Moines next week.
In the meantime those who are maxi
ing desperate efforts to line every one
up definitely and positively back Of
Taft and Sherman and to compel them
man are the republican party nomi-
nees and support Of them is and should
be the sole test Of party standing this
year IN Iowa, are making very poor
progress. Thus far not a candidate on
the state ticket nor for congress has
taken this view. The nearest approach
Is declaration Of intent to support
the ticket" which is taken to be a
statement that may mean much or
little. dependent on the declarations Of
the state convention.
A remarkable turn Of affairs was
disclosed yesterday when one of the
staunchest standpatters of the state
house declared frankly that encour-
agement should be given to Roosevelt
and his proposed third party. on the
theory that il 1t becomes strong,
movement it will cut more into Wilson
than into Taft, therefore that It is a
good thing to push along. But most Of
the standpatters have not as yet come
to realize that conditions have changed
and are refusing to discuss the situa-
ton at all. "a
Woodrow Wilson men are getting
ready for a big blow out" here to
start the progressive democratic cam
paign for the erudite governor for
president. They expect to have w. ].
Bryan here and to show that IN Iowa,
at least, there is no resentment be-
cause Bryan compelled the democratic
convention to separate the sheep from
the goats before rounding up the
herd.
A meeting will be held tomorrow to
organize locally for making the fight.
This will be getting in ahead Of the
republicans, for no Taft supporters
have as yet made the first move in the
direction Of organizing to support the
ticket.
1t is also learned that a distinct
movement will be started here to or
ganize republicans into a Woodrow
Wilson club.
Attorney General Cosson complains
that local newspapers insist upon adj
vertising that there is no law by
which city or the mayor of city can
stop the presentation Of an immoral
moving picture such as that showing
the Villisca tragedy. From the first he
has held there Is abundant law and
Is merely up to the local authorities
to proceed to enforce the law as in the
case Of other violations thereof.
