The republican campaign in Iowa,
which will close on the night OF the

officially here tomorrow when the
leaders from all sections Of the state
gather for the first republican con-
pcntion. the purpose Of which is to
ratify the delegates elected at the re-
cent presidential preference primary,
to serve as the states representatives
al the republican national convention.
Leaders here tonight were reticcnt
regarding the course TO be taken by
the steering committee OF the con-
vention. Much will depend, it was
said. on the keynote speech OF the
temporary chairman, Howard J..
Clark Of Des Moincs. II is expected.
however, that most vt the addresses
will have 10 do merely with national
questions. the plan being, as far as
known, TO follow the precedent set at
the recent democratic convention IN
Clinton and avoid reference 10 any
factional difference IN the party.
Harmony is 10 be preserved At all
costs, il was stated, and doubt was
expressed whether tho convention
would indorse any presidential candt-
date. 1t was thought certain, bow
ever. that II any such endorsement is
made Senator cummins would be sc-

Willis ]. Abbot OF New York, chief

erary bureau OF the democratic ma
tional committee in the campaign OF
1908, is in Omaha for a day or two
looking over the political situation.
lie has been away from New York
for some time gathering information
from a number Of states.
u have been away from New
York for about five weeks" said Mr..
Abbot, making tour OF the mid
die western states, in al cndeavor TO
find out with some degree OF GER
tainty where these republican dele
gates, who have been instructed for
favorite sons, are going when the in-
eyitable break comes at Chicago. l
visited Kentucky Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Primaries No Criterion
THE one conclusion that have
reached is that it is highly improba-
carried the primaries in these states
are likely to win in the convention.
The Burton delegation, Tor example,
impressed me as mere shell, which
will go TO pieces after two or three
ballots
%ln Indiana the delegates are tied
to Fairbanks, not merely by formal
instructions, but by personal affec-
tion. There is, however, no sign OF
any Fairbanks sentiment in other
states, except Kentucky, and I'm IN
clined to think his delegates would
be entirely satisfied TO secure his
nomination for second place.
Forsees Roosevelt Demonstration.
There are Roosevelt men on every
delegation. This situation naturally
would make easy a great demonstra-
tion for Roosevelt in the convention,
and / do not think his nomination
entirely impossible II is quite appar-
ent, however, particularly in the
states west OF Illinois, that public
sentiment is more for Hughes than
for Roosevelt
ITO what extent this Hughes senti-
ment will take form in the convention
/ would not attempt to predict. But
it is a very decided factor in Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, states which |
have just left. Ny own judgment
would be that at present the Roose-
welt sentiment is strongest, but that
the Hughes sentiment is increasing"

SOLDIERS IN THE TRENCHES WANT MOUTH ORGANS

The following letter showing the spirit of the soldiers in the trenches in France. was written by brother of Harold Chadwick, of Cordova, and published in the Manchester Guardian. Since the publication of the letter the writer has been reported missing.
 Sir:-We would like to make an ap- peal to the readers of your valuable paper for few mouth organs or melodeon. to pass away the weary hours when we are out of the firing line. The only music we have is a comb band. and a buscuit tin for drum. The noise is enough to bring about the fall of Berlin.
 We would like to express the opin- ion of the boys in the trenches about the conscientious objector. Of course, some have reasonable excuses, but the majority of excuses are disgusting to read about. The pest cure TOT Iheli would be to put them on patrol or re- pairing barbed wire, and they will see what the Germans think of the motto, Thou shalt not kill" They would give them the music of a dozen ma chine guns and a supply of gas to sooth their senses Tell them to pull themselves together and be true Brit ons and help to secure the safety of the British empire, because it is the freest country on Gods earth.
 It will be of interest to say our bat talion has been out here eight months and in the trenches all winter. and
