Des Noines, May 26.-Ths members
Of the Panama-Pacthc commission to
have charge Of the Iowa exhibits at
San Francisco are in session here to-
day. The sessions are being held in
seoret.
It Is probable that organization viii!
he completed at this time. The tenn
pogary commission made contracts and
Agreements as to space at San Fran
cisco which require that the space
secured must be accepted before July ]
next. This means barely thirty days in
which to get this matter arranged.
There is therefore need Of haste in the
preiiminares.
It is expected that some one will be
placed in charge who can give the
matter his undivided time and at
tention until after the close Of the
exposition.
The commission was selected by a
committee appointed to devise plan
for the Greater Iowa Association. Re-
port will also be made in due time on
this latter organization. The members
of the commission are George w.
french. Davenport; Charles F. Cur
tisa, Ames; w. C. Haskell. Cedar Rap

George Huffman. former chairman OF
the democratic state committee. denies
emphatically story credited to Ed
Meredith wherein II Is represented that
Huffman sent telegraph somewhere
notifying somebody that $1,000 was
coming to be used for carrying a sec
ton of the state for Connolly. He
says he has never sent any telegram
of the kind or any other telegram, and
he knows nothing Of any money.
The Connolly people were Immensely
pleased yesterday on reading the
1atest pronouncenent from the Mere
.ai1h. people. 1T shows on Its face,
esaid one Of them, that Meredith is
desperate and has virtually given up
"a man never gets mad unless he Is
scornered and he never talks ugly un-
fless he knows he is beaten"
A committee called on the Meredith
Soommittee to see If It could make good
ton the boast that it has a copy OF thai
Telegram Meredith Is supposed to have
sent from Chicago to stop the presses
and take out the Kenyon editorial Il
failed to find copy of the message
But some one went to figuring. and
found that II in the time ii would take
ITO get a copy Of the paper to Chicago
and word back to stop the press only
$500 copies were printed. as claimed
It would take three months to run off
one edition Of the paper. They say this
looks rather queer. In fact the demo
cratic campaign for senator has got
down to the stage Of scrapping over
who's lying anyhow and why.
In the meantime Meredith and Con
nelly are out securing the state fol
votes.

at the state house. Representative
