Des Moines. July II. Democratic
leaders from over the state began COM
ing into The capital city Monday and
by tonight, the hotels will be full o!
democrats who have come to attend
the state convention to be held We'd
nesday. The details for the convention
are now well arranged.
Interest centers in the platform as
the state ticket was nominated at the
primary without contests. There II
considerable opposition to DR.. Reyn-
olds, of Creston, as chairman Of the
state central committee as was shown
up in the county conventions, but it is
being predicted that this is not strong
enough to prevent him from< again
winning this honor.
AS to the, platform it is believed now
that the counse Ell of some of the old time
leaders to go easy on. the platform may
be followed. The Iowa democrats do
not want a division in their own ranks,
particularly. in this presidential yea.'
when they hope to see, theistate give 2

the road question. They believe big

strong in praise of Wilson and his war
policies, particularly in his handling
Of the Mexican trouble, without res
Sluting much one way or the other on
state questions, will be the political
thing to do and will hold the party to-
gether.
Opposition to Paeifist Program.
But there is opposition to this pa
cifist program. The element which
howled about the cut and dried way
the state ticket was picked out and
who don't like to make the democratic
party as dry as E. T. Meredith, guber-
material nominee, says it ought to be,

county democrats came out strong foi

county convention as did sou4e of tbs
other wet counties. The Scott county
democrats pledged their nominees for
the legislature to work for local option
in the legislature next winter This
element in the wetidistricts7 will want
some declaration along this line in the
platform and will probably insist on it,
in spite Of the fact that the hndidate
for governor is out as an absolute. dry
