Des Moines, July ga meeting Of
the regular republican state commit
tee will not be held until after con-
sress adtourns. The meeting of the
committee will be to start the cam
palsn work, to lay out the plan of cam
paisn and to decide on how best to
conduct the campaign in theNnterest
OF the republican party and support of
republican principles as laid down in
the party platform. Under the law
me republican party OF Iowa Is a legal
party and the state committee has
lesal standing and a right to speak
1or the party and to represent the
party In this state.
FOLLOWING long custom. 1t will be ap-
proprlate to have a general conference
OF all candidates Of the party who
care to be heard or to have the as
slstance Of the regular state commit
tee. at which time it will determine
what shall be done as to ORGANIZATION
TO get out the full republican vote. The
members of congress are more con-
cerEed, perhaps, than any others and
the candidate of the party for senator,
and no conference will be held until
they can be present.
A conference with all the state and
congressional candidates would include
two dozen of them, each one having
equal claim with every other one on
the com mittee fo- work in his behalf.
In addition TO thts. and especially in
View OF the fact that the election Of a
United States senator is involved,
leading candidates for legislative posi-
tons Will be invited to be present
1t is regarded as certain that fol-
lowing such conference the state re-
publican committee will get actively
to work for the whole party and to
get out the republican vote in support
Of the party principles. The commit
tee will not. however. undertake to
single out any one or two candidates
cially deserving Of attention, but will
do its work on broad lines and in sup
port OF the party as whole.
1t is understood that some sort of a
meeting Of the rump or boiling COM
mittee Of standpatters was held here
last week to plan for making fight
on the regulars and to interfere with
| the campaign as much as possible.
The threat of the rump committee is
causing much worry for the regulars,
but they will probably ignore it.
W. d. Jameson, of Shenandoah, who
managed the campaign in Iowa to Sc
cure a Clark delegation to Baltimore
and who succeeded, stopped off in De!
Moines yesterday on his way home
from Baltimore. He had remained II
the east and in Washington until tins
to come to the democratic state con-
vention and this week will reach home
! Mr.. Jameson believes that the demo.
cratic party stands an excellent chance
to win this year and that Wilson will
be the next president.
| I anticipate that Woodrow Wilson
will be the next president" said MIR
Jameson. The democrats will give
him loyal backing. The Clark men are
falling into line splendidly. Practical
ly all OF them, so far as I have beer
able to ascertain, Will give earnest and
hearty support to their ticket. o.
course some Of them feel badly ovel
the treatment that the speaker received
at Baltimore, but they do no. hold 1t VI
against Wilson. A great many of then
adhere to the old fashioned doctrin.
that the majority should rule, but i
was not Wilson's fault. And so we ar,
going to have united and harmoniou.
fight for the democratic party THU
year and will win. The feeling amons
the Clark people was that it was al
too bad that a man who has SO lont
fought for progressive principles SHOULD
be suspected Of being otherwise, O.
that there should be any suspicion di
rected against him. They do not Xix,
that while Clark is himself down a
Washington doing everything he ca,
for progressive principles others ge
the credit. But he is loyal and hi
friends are loyal"
In regard to the addition of Mel
Reed to the democratic state commit
tee to act as it's manager and directo,
Of the campaign Mr.. Jameson believes
1t to be the best thing for harmony /,
Iowa this year
