June % about twenty prominent
members of the National Non-Partisan
League sent in a protest to President
Townley asking that the organization
be made more democratic and less
autocratic.
The protest was prepared by Joseph
Gilbert, former manager of organiza-
ton, Rev. Maxwell, a national lectur-
er who now claims he quit the league
because its program is what he calls
un-American.
The protest charges that the candi-
dates Of the league are selected not by
the rank and file but by an inside
coterie, and that members and workers
in the league are under despotism.
The protest charges the Non-Part-
isan league is a one-man movement
in that one man dictates policies, can
didates and disposition of finance, and
the protest says if it is not made more
representative it will fail.
Pres. A. C. Townley, virtual owner
and director Of the league, threw the

Special to Times Republican.
Des MONIES, Sept. 25.-As a result of
the campaign by the state fuel ad-
ministration's office and the urgent
need for fuel Of all kinds more than
100000 cords of wood have been cut
in Iowa since Jan. 1. Most of it was
cut In the winter months of January,
February and early March before
spring work opened up. This cutting
OF 100000 cords Of wood will result
in a saving of about 100000 tons OF
coal the fuel administrators declare.
There is big demand for wood
especially in communities accustomed
to using considerable hard coal, which
supply has been entirely shut on.
Wood will be substituted for hard coal
where stoves are used more generally
than will soft coal the reports indicate
Licenses have been issued to more
than 1900 coal dealers in the state as
required by the government. Thus far
no occasion has arisen to require dis

resorting to the license club. If emer-
dealers or operators are not obeyins
regulations, fuel heads will not
hesitate to recommend the revocation
Of the license of the offending dealer.
which would put him out Of business.
Adapting Coal Burners.
Coal burning stoves and furnaces can
be adapted to use wood. according to
G. B. Macdonald, Of the forestry de-
partment Of Iowa State College. who
has given the matter considerable
study. On this point he says:
MANY coal stoves. both cooking and
heating. can be adapted at a very
slight expense to the Use of wood. The
main difficulty is with the coal CRATE
which Is more open than is desirable
when wood fuel is to be used. THIS
difficulty can be readily overcome, at a
slight expense, by fitting a perforated
coal CRATE. In most cases this gives
very satisfactory results.
IF wood is to be burned permanent
ly it would be desirable to increase
the size Of the fire boxes in stoves and
furnaces by substituting lighter fire
brick in place of the heavier ones
where these are used. Many OF the
modern furnaces have round fire boxes
into which the wood blocks do not mt
we'll, a matter which requires more
frequent firing when wood is used"
Professor Macdonald declares much
coal is wasted in the spring and fall
by keeping coal fire in the furnace al
most continuously. He declares wood
should be used for quick fire in the
morning and again in the evening per-
hitting the fire to go out during the
day. Otherwise the house is too warm
in the middle Of the day and coal IS

Des Nones, Sept 25.--Most salts

it Is a campaign for good government.

tinuance Of the united and harmonious
work of Iowa people in all matters OF
loyalty. With this as an issue. II
issue it can be called, there can be no
doubt Iowa will remain true to her
traditions.
Conferences were held last week in
the Eighth. Ninth and Eleventh con-
gressional districts to consider ways
and means for the campaign. They
were we'll attended. The republican
county chairmen nearly all attended.
Many of the precinct and township
committeeman were present. There
was at each conference a goodly repre-
sentation OF the republican newspaper
editors. From no quarter was any re-
port received that would indicate de-
lection from the republican party. The
congressional candidates will receive
the usual majority and this almost
without opposition. There is no doubt
of the result in the Eleventh. where
there is a small fight. County and
legislative candidates on the republi-
can ticket are confident and say there
has been no change IN sentiment
among the voters save in the Objection
of the republican party.
The fact that the candidate Of the
democratic party Of Iowa has accepted
a position at Washington that will
take him out of the state Is accepted
universally that his campaign for cleo
ton as governor has been abandoned
It was known last spring. when the
plans for the democratic campaign
were brought here from Washington.

high salary, but it was not the inten-
ton to make the SHIFT thus early
However the fact that there was no
response in Iowa to the scheme adver-
tise Iowa democrats as the whole
thing in loyalty. changed the plan. and
the appointment has been made ana
confirmed by the senate.
Chairman Rawson. Of the repubh-
can state committee. will this week
hold conferences in the Tenth, Fourth
and Sixth districts. where all who are
interested in the success Of the party
will be welcome. The committeeman
have been notified and there is no
doubt good meetings will be held. The
organization Of the entire state has
now been almost completed.
In view Of the necessity for concen-
trating all possible energy on the
liberty loan campaign, the republicans
will not start any speaking campaign
until that work is finished. Any meet
ings held, or any general activity FOR
the beneflt Of party candidates, must
interfere with the patriotic activities
Of Nhe people.
