CONTEST FOR LOCATION.
Dss Moinss Objects to Cedar Rapids
Grabbing Republican Convention.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 1.-THE state COM
mittee fixed April "a for the republican
state convention.

Des Moincs, Jan. 1.-THE fight for
the honor of entertaining the first re
publican state convention was on In
dead earnest today. The state central
committee meets ,this afternoon to
settle the question. A delegation OF
Cedar Rapids business men headed by
President Haskell and Secretary Wun-
derlich, of the commercial club. ana
Ernest r. Moore, arrived last night
prepared to make fight for the con :
.Yentsosa They are ready to meet all
arEun1lnts. Des Moines Is the only
other contestant for the honors.
If Cedar Rapids gets the convention
its business men will ask that the date
be liked later than 1t was originally
tertains the convention some time dur
ing the last OF April or the first OF
May. Under the call of the republican
national committee the convention
must be held not later than one month
before the national convention. which
comes on June IS.
Des Moines offered the usual facil-
tiles, the big coliseum seating 10000
persons, and almost unlimited hotel
facilities, with abundance of good halls
for the district conventions.
Cedar Rapids offered a hall seating
1900, with convention facilities guar
anteed to be sufficient for the occasion
The advocates of Des Moines ques-
toned the sufficiency OF the Cedar
Rapids facilities and pointed out that
in order to seat the delegations the
convention would have to be divided
ana part Of 1t sent to the galleries and
on the stage. This was denied.
Des ,Moines also turned another card
by showing correspondence to the ef-
feet that persons who have already
sought to secure convention rooms al
either of the two leading Cedar Rapids
hotels have been advised that all rooms
have been engaged in case the conven-
ton comes there.
In view of the fact that the conven-
ton is almost certain to start a boom
for an Iowa man for president, the de-
sire Of many is to have 1t as large as
possible.
All the members of the republican
state committee had arrived at moor
except the member for the Eighth dis
trict, who is expected soon. Members
Of the committee state they have ha6
suggested to them the names OF abou,
a dozen speakers for temporary chair
man, but no one has as yet been agreed
upon.
When the committee met Commit
teemen Loranz. Of the Eighth district
had not arrived and vigo Lingley. o1
