Of State Appears. ~
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, July 15.-something OF
old time interest in public affairs, a
good deal Of the signs Of determine
tion to win. much to remind one OF
tho before-the primary conventions
that are gone but not forgotten-thts
was the thought as the strains of q
local band called to their seats in the
big Coliseum the several hundred dele
gates to the republican state conven-
ton. The most casual observer was
impressed with the fact that the re-
publicans who used to do things are
coming back and coming back in a bet
ter frame Of mind than usual. The
convention manifested real spirit. ABB
sence OF factionai division was evident.
but it its stead an apparent deter
mination to play q good political
game.
Chairman Charles A. Rawson had
ton and it was quickly assembled fol-
lowing the caucuses where the COM
mittees were selected.
New Candidate Appears.
At the time Of the meeting Of the
convention at II o'clock, 1t was beyond
the power Of any one to make any
bstter prediction as to outcome on tho
authorship contest than might have
been made q week or moro ago. Tho
only change was entrance Of the can
didacy Of George Wybrant, OF Du-
huque, but Just on what principle this
came in was not clear. as at no time
has any ono thought OF going outside
Of the list OF i've for q candidate un-
leas Il should develop after lonS
deadlock neither could be nominated.
Al. any rata al the five remained In
the race and each one wearing .

There had BEEN some Interest aroused
over various funnor as to the pog-
sible controversy over certain planks IN
the platform. The only one which
seemed to cause much disturbance was
regarding prohibition. A number have
been ardently at work to secure In
the platform q plank favoring sub
mission Of constitutional amendment
It became known that Senator Cum
minis, SO it Is asserted, will vote for
submission Of an amendment to tho
federal constitution. But a great many
called attention to the fact that the
matter has not been sufficiently dis
cussed in the party councils 80 that at
this time it could be made a test OF
party membership. The discussion.
hos
DANGEROUS Whatever is done will prob
~biy fairly represent the best thought
Of those present.

ditor will begin pretty early in the at
