Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 31.-That Iowa is
to be the battle ground of the big
party leaders during the early days Of
the presidential campaign, is the belief
of progressives of this city, who are
responsible for story circulated here
that Colonel Roosevelt will invade the
state soon, following the route Of
President Wilson.
Progressive leaders have received a
tip that the colonel is planning a
western trip, and that Iowa will be

and eastern bull moosers have been
making queries as to gthe truth Of the
report. -
Z In interests Of cummins?
Some of the Iowa progressives, are
inclined to join in boosting for the
nomination of Senator -Cummins and
one or two of the more prominent had
about decided to issue staten nt to
that effect. But the report that Reose-
welt soon is to visit Iowa has caused
the party heads to await sthe result of
the colonePs trip i -e-Asszaiai- .sas.
1t may be that Roosevelts western
trip is planned in the interests of the
Iowa senator, as 1t is generally be-
lieved that the colonel will not only
accept Cummins as tho nominee but
Will take off his coat and work for his

Sioux City. Jan. 81. - Spades were
called by their proper name at the
meeting Of the democrats of the Elev
enth district, which was held Saturday
at the old council chamber in the city
hall.
Were assured they were enjoying poli-
teal plums, and the moral Of the ses-
sion. II moral there was, made
pointed by w. d. Jameson, former
congressman and organizer Of the Iowa
Democratic Club, who politely informed
the job hunters they would have to
pay assessments to keep the democracy
in power.
Mr.. Jameson said that he was post
master at Shenandoah, as well as or
ganizer Of the Iowa Democratic Club.
Mr.. Jameson said he did not get that
Job because Of his long experience in
the postal service, but that 1T was
given to him as reward for his political
services in the past and also as re-
ward for his persistent activity in get
ting the signatures of w. w. Marsh
and Or. j. w. Reynolds at the end Of
his nomination papers.

boys nodded their heads in assent.

Il am frank in saying to- You that l
know any number of men over the
state of Iowa who have had experience
in postoffice matters, who are better
qualified for the job than I am, who
would be willing to take the job for
$500 and who would put in more time
on the job than I would, who would
make better postmasters for Shenan-
doafl,'' said Mr.. Jameson. They We're
not given the plum, and was. would
not pay back to the democratic organi-.
zation some OF the money that comes
to me in this way.
"Anl want to say to all Of the fed
eral job holders. the postmasters and
others. that on them the Iowa Demo.
cratic Club will levy assessment on a
fixed basis. while from the rank and
file, who are not holding offices, we
will look for donations"
Mr.. Jameson said that the demo-
cratic party existed to run Iowa and
the nation; that the democrats could
do neither unless they had funds tc
make the coming campaign.
The speaker asserted that following
the war there would be many tariff
matters that the trusts and monopolies,
would want tended to In their way
and they were willing to pay. The DEM
.ocrats. he asserted, did not have the
help from that quarter. so the money
would have to be raised by assessing
the plum holders and the mass Of the
democratic party.
