IOWA REPUBLICANS ARE UNITED
No Sore Spots Over the Defeat of John
T. Adams Says State Chairman
Chas. A. RaWson

Des Moines, Feb. 20--lowa republi-
cans are bearing no sore spots as a
result of the defeat of John r. Adams
for the position of the republican
national committee at st. Louis last
week, according to Chas. A. Rawson
OF Des Moines, chairman of the state
committee. -
All is lovely in the G. o. p. ranks
and the election of another clean
sweep ticket for congress, senate and
state officers is predicted by Mr..
Rawson.
AS matter of fact Adams could
have won the'honor at st. Louis had
be been DESTROYS of pressing matters
to a conclusion at the Tuesday meet
ing, Mr.. Rawson says, but felt that in
view of the possible effect of the
publication of the now almost famous
letter from Berlin, he deemed it ad
visable to withdraw, and aided in
throwing his support to Mr.. Hays, the
successful candidate.
Hays a Hustler
Mr.. RaWSon has a very nigh OPINION
of the new republican national COM
mittee chairman, Will H. Hays, of
Indiana.
He is a live wire and hustler, and
will keep things moving from the
start" says RawsOn. Il do not bel
-ieye that any material discord is go,
ing to develop in republican ranks as
the result of the selection.
Mr.. Adams did a big thing for the
benefit of his party when he withdrew
his candidacy at St Louis. Nobody
who knows Mr.. Adams has any doubt
of his loyalty to the United States
but he saw that the fight raised at
St. Louis might be used by the demo
Gratis in the comming campaign and
also in that Of 1920. and deemed it
best to withdraw in the interests of
harmony"
The republican state central com
mittee is planning no activity what
ever until after the primaries, and nc
office will be opened in Des Moines
until after the June nominations are
made.
