Special 20 Times-epublican.
Des Moines, Aug. 17.77-1f the repub-
licans are to win in the next presiden-
tial campaign q party leader must be
nominated who will refuse to turn the
republican party back to the old guard
and who will fight for those principles
which the progressive republicans
have stood for. This Is the opinion
OF republican leaders here. 1t is point
ed out that the progressive party can
not win nor could republican nor
progressive in principles. but that the
nominee who can reunite the party
and give the country q business adj
ministration will have the best chance
Of victory.

minis. He Is said to favor the pro-
gressive party's putting full ticket
n the field in the coming national
campaign. It is believed here, how
ever, that If the rank and file OF the
bull moosers, as well as the leaders,
could feel sure that the reactonarles
would not recover their hold on the re-
publican party should 1t again attain
national leadership. there would be no
bull moose ticket.
Vote 40 Delegate Basis.
The number Of delegates which a
district is entitled to will hereafter
he on the basis Of votes cast and not
ON the number OF people Of the district.
This will cut down the number OF dele
gates from the southern states. Other
r. anges have been made looking to-
ward the elimination Of all opportu-
,ity for serious division growing out
CT the seating Of delegates and Ike
controversies.
Another question which is discussed
here is the apparent lack Of interest
manifested here in the middle west at
,his time over national politics AS
long as the voters pocketbook Is not
touched AMI the full dinner pail is the
rule and not the exception, interest Is
not apt to be Keen, say the leaders.
There are parts Of the county, how
where many men are out Of
work, particularly the eastern manu-
featuring districts and the western
coasts. Economic problems and dis
cussions are interesting them far moro

winter months come on there is likely
to be a far greater discussion Of all Of
these problems.
