CONTEST IN NATIONAL
 DEM. COMMITTEE
Fight on Over Representation From
 Oregon and KentucI<y-Three Cities After Convention.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Before the democratic national committee takes up the questions of when and where the national convention of 1916 shall be held it must dispose of two con- tests for seats in the committee. These are over representation of Oregon and Kentucky. In the former state w. IT. Easterly contested the seat of Will R. King. The Kentucky contest, involv- ing General w. B. Haldeman of Louisville and Urey Woodson of Ow- ensboro, was regarded with particular interest.
 On Sept 3, 1914, the democratic state central and executive committees of Kentucky chose MT. Woodson to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John c. Mayo. The state demo- cratic convention last August elected General Haldeman national commit teeman. Afterward, the Kentucky democratic state central and execu- tive committees ratified and avowed that these committees "elected Urey Woodson to fill the vacancy caused by the death of J. c. Mayo, until the next democratic state convention as- sem bled.''
 Mr. Woodson claimed MT. Mayo was elected for term of four years that he was elected to fill the vacancy caused by MT. Mayo's death, which | made him a member of the commit tee for four years from the election of MT. Mayo, which was in May, 1912
 When these contests are out of the way the national committee will pro- ceed with the selection of a conven- tion city. St. Louis, Dallas and Chi | cago are the leading aspirants.
 There was some probability that l the committee would not conclude it's session until Wednesday, in view of the fact that the committee is to | lunch with President Wilson at the 1 White House at noon of that day.

LOCAL COMMENT


Cedar Rapids has about finished it's
census and having put q live man on
the job who saw to it that the count
was made thoroughly, Cedar Rapids Is
going to show over 10000 nhabitants
The good word will go out over Iowa
and more people than ever will turn
their course towards Cedar Rapids.
Marshalltown under the present situa-
ton is doomed to look like thirty cents
when her enumeration comes in, in
efficiently taken with perhaps 1000 or
more citizens missed in the count. The
board of supervisors has already held
up the bill of one Of the deputy as
SCISSORS being dissatisfied with the
amount OF work ne mad been doing.
The Marshalltown Club, which was
going to take a volunteer census and
check It against the official enumera-
ton, il short reports in thirty blocks
and may be unable to render much
assistance Mr.. E. NJ. Dodge, the city
assessor, finds his hands completely
filed with the work Of assessing SO
that he is turning in very few census
cards, His deputies n. j. Allard and
f, n. Haar are doing good work but
they can't cover the town. The new
city council should authorize the APP
|pointment Of q special deputy who will
act as director of the census and give
his whole time to it. II there Is no
fund from which to pay him let the
boosters raise the money about town.
Marshalltown can't afford to straggle
in with a half baked census when
Mason City is prepared to show a
population Of $4,000 and Cedar Rapids

not seek to force consolidation upon
