Des Moines. Jan. 12.-With the gov
ernment thermom eters 20 degrees below
zero. the record for Des Moines was
broken today with one exception. On
Jan. 5, 1884. 1t was 30 degrees below
here. Reports from various parts OF
the state indicate that COW records for
temperature were reached. It was 35
degrees below at Boone,s21 below at
Burlington and 10 below at Davenport.
In the latter zcity all previous records
were broken. @
On this. the fourteenth, day Of the
present COLI wave, Des Moines faced
a coal famine. Local dealers have
hundreds OF untitled orders ON their
books. and some OF them will promise
no deliveries for atieast4a week. The
shortage Of coal Is caused by the shut
ting down of several coal mines near
Des tMoines on accountsof the severe
weather, and by the inability Of the
transportation companies to bring for
eign coal into the city.

STATE COMMITTEE TAKES AD.
vAncED STEP FOR PREslnEN-
r,AL PREFERENCE.
LEFT OPTIONAL WITH
COUNTIES AS TO METHODS
Given Privilege Of Adopting Primary
For Delegates to State Convention
Means Doom Of Caucus System
Convention to Be Composed Of
1,479 Osisgatss.

Des Moines. Jan. 12-Friends OF the
presidential primary consider yester
days action OF the republican state
central committee to select the dele
gates to the state convention. either
by caucus or by primary, as the first
step In Iowa toward the ultimate end
of the caucus system Of choosing con-
vention delegates and selecting candi-
dates.
The committee discussed a state
wide presidential primary. but decided
not to adopt 1t this year, deeming II
wiser to leave action to the option OF
the county committees. There Is no
law in Iowa providing for PRESIDENT
al primary, hence the members OF the
committee decided they did not have
the power necessary to insure the sue
cess OF the proposition.
Committee Action Surprise.
The action Of the committee was 4
surprise Previous to the meeting IT
generally was understood that the
early demand for presidential pri-
mary had disappeared so there would
be no discussion OF 1t by the commit
tee However, the question was brought
up and the attitude assumed that a
primary Of such nature under ex-
listing circumstances with no statute
providing for 1t would be cumber-
some affair.
Hence the committee voted to III
corporate In the convention call a
paragraph giving the county auditor
the option Of having primary or a
caucus for the selection Of delegates
Friends Of the primary are commend
ing the committee highly.
The convention for the selection OF
delegates OF the national convention
win be held at Cedar Rapids on April
"a. c. NJ. Thomas OF Maquoketa will
be temporary chairman and c. N
Houck OF Decorah will be temporary
secretary. Both were elected unani-
mously. They are young men and at
torneys and progressive republicans.
Convention 70 es lovva's Biggest.
There will be l.479 delegates. This
number insures the largest convention
tho republican party ever held in Iowa.
At the last state convention the basis
for representation was the vote for
governor, and there were 1889 ac-
credited delegates. This year the COM
mitteo decided to use the presidential
vote as a basis.
No date nor place was fixed for the
second convention, which Will be held
after the national republican conven-
ton ut Chicago June Is. At this con-
vention the party platform will be
adopted. two candidates for supreme
Judge chosen. and candidates, named
for places not filled In the primary. 1t
it probable Des MnInee will draw the
second.
