Mm SS| Questions Are Who Shall Wrile |J^ it and What It Shall James Wilson May Write It De« ,, claring for Revision and Reciprocity. Lafe Young's Chances for Com mitteeman Good Neal's Strong Candidacy. Special to Times-Republican. Des -Moines, July 28.— Who will write the republican platform for Iowa in the year 1902? That is a question which is uppermost in the minds of many. That lis what the earliest arrivals for the state convention are talking about, About all that can be has been said about candidates for ollice: the prin ciples of the party, or rather the state mint of the principles of the party, is a thing of prime importance now. "It is a transition period for the par ty," said one of the members of the state committee. "The republican par ty is one of growth and development. It was the boast of the older members of tile party that they keep the party up to the times and adapted it to every new condition which confronted the country. It remains for us, the young er ii11*n of the party, to see that tile well earned reputation of the party for pro grcssivciiess is maintained." It is regarded as possible that a member of President Roose\clt cabi net will write the platform. The one last year was written by one who, next to cabinet members, is dose to the ad ministration at Washington. Geoige K. Roberts is credited with authorship of the tariff plank of the party. At any rate the tariff and H-ciprocity and re vision ideas o! the plattorm ha\e had his earnest and sincere approval. Now it. is suggested that James Wilson, sec retary of agriculture, may write the platform of this year. It is understood lie is coining to the convention as a delegate from Tama county. It has also been suggested that he will be available as a Fifth district member of the committee on resolutions. But be fore the membership of this committee is made up every candidate will be sounded as to his views on the plat form. as to whether or not he will stand by last year's demand for tariff revision to avoid sheltering the unholy trusts, or whether he is desirous of keeing still on the tarift-trust ques tion. It is probable that Bale "\oung will be selected in the Seventh district for the place on the committee. It" lie can secure the support of Polk county he will surely win out. This would suit Capt. Hull, who is the Iowa member of the national congressional committee. It is understood that Craig W right, ot Sioux t'itv. who would stand by last year's platform, will be oil the commit tee from tile Eleventh district. he Second. Fourth and Tenth districts may be depended on to have members of the committee who will favor last year's platform. The First. Sixth and Thiid are equally sure to be for reversal of the party attitude. A great deal depends on what the members of congress will do. It Hen derson, Hepburn, Hedge. Hull, Conner, Bat ey and the others insist on a plat form for Iowa on which the republican candidates for congress in New* "York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania may make a good campaign, their influence will be powerful. But on the other hand, both Senators Allison and Dolliver are in accord with the well-known views of Governor Cummins and the men who will he nominated on the state ticket. The truth is that Governor Cummins believes that the platform of last year was a good one and that it is one on which the republican party of Iowa may go to success this year and for many "years to come. He believes it is right. He is dead in earnest in making attacos on the trusts by any and every available means, and differs from some others in the view that the only thing to do is to keep on trying the present laws against trusts and making a few new ones, lie would prosecute trusts in every way. In his famous IMnneap olis speech he made it plain that he would make 1 rusts and monopolies out laws in the law and deal with them ac cordingly. In the platform of last year, which contains the best statement of this position yet made, is not reaffirmed this year the friends of Cummins will feel that it was a rebuke to him. The position taken by Capt. Hull, of this city, indicates plaintly that the pres sure for a change proceeds from the lffe in hers of contrress who feel that if the Tow a platform is too hard on the trusts they will not be able to secure funds with which to carry on their campaigns. Capl. Hull expects very Soon to go east and help manage tile republican campaign. The character of that campaign depends in some meas ure on tile attitude of the Iowa republi cans toward the tariff. In view of the fact that the congres sional convention which nominated Judge Walter I. Smith for congress a second lime reatliriiicd die Iowa plat form of last year in all its features it is presumed that he will not, as tempo rary chairman, take a stand in opposi tion to the Io\fa platform. When he v.-..s made temporary chairman it was with ihe understanding, at least oil the part of many of the members of tlv ommit tee, that he would sp' ak largely for the io'.va congressional delegation in icnard to national mailers, and thai lie would point out what tln would call a oiiservative course which would best serve the congressional campaign. It was asserted that Judge Smith would sorely protest against any revision of the tariff, for iliat was the altitude of I lie Iowa delegation as a body during the last session, and thai he might go sr. far as to denounce those who ndvo vate ree iproei ly. Judge Smith lias al ways been a strong protectionist. lias never wavered on -that point. lie vS-JS'? «yS-wSaS*' was always a strong gold man. also, and did not need an) idueation on tha' point, lie is one of the strongest men iln house today. 'lie ol his Ninth district admirers declares that he is lo i.av superior, intellectually, of any man lie one of tlii- giants of the house in a __ f. \v years, l-nder the circumstances Contain. ].is speech as iemporarv chairman wiii have a great deal of weight. T,ate Information in regard to th clerkship fi.uh1 is to the effect that C. W. Ncal, the Second district candidate, is going to lie a most important factor in tin- ti^rht. Among well informed ones it is now conceded that W'helan has not made the showing of strength antici pated at the commencement. Jones will lead on the lirst ballot, but will not be Jiofiinaled the n. The Second district is omihg up solid for N'eal and he an a Crockett or Buchan will be in the tight the (inish against Jones. In some re spects it is unfortunate that the contest for railroad commissioner comes last on the list. The throe candidates have looms engaged and are in for a hard f.ght. A local paper contained tie- fol lowing gossip yesterday oil this matter: "Major Mackenzie, of this city, has leeentv been down in (lie First district and incidentally heard some politics. 'It is commonly understood down there,' he said, 'thai Blythe and Hedge and their 1 ople are planning to turn the whole district over to Dawson for railroad commissioner at the critical time. There is a First district candidate, but he has i:o support. But the district will not be turned over to Dawson. I learn that i\etchum will get most of the delegation from Van Piiron county, and that is a pretty influential delegation in the First dis!rii t.' This comports with the general im pression of what is happening here, but until more of the delegates arrive it will not be confirmed.

Gossip of the Hotel Lobbies- Cornwall Is Confident of Sal inger's Defeat. Special to 'Times-Republican. Des Moines. July 28.—Sunday night and this morning the republican politi cians began to throng into les Moines and the hotel lobby at the Savery took en its convention appearance ot olu time. There were the handshakings, the groups scattered here and tlicie in ueep and weighty conference and till th other symptomatic signs indicative of a political convention. Chairman Spence. of the state central committee. I'. Turner, of New Hampton, a member of the committee, and K. L. Tlart.ol ouncil Bluffs, national committeeman, came in Sunday. Other notable arrivals yes terday were It. F. Carroll, of Bloomlidd. candidate for auditor of state "\\. Blakemore, of Bedford, candidate for state •railroad commisioner: H. B Bousqliet, of Knoxville, candidate foi clerk of the supreme court, accompa nied by T. "!. Gi'iSon and George P. Anthes, of Knoxville: ex-Governor S. B. Packard, of Marshalltown. who is here in the interest of N. S. Ketchum, candi date for state railroad commissioner: K. Daw-son. of Wavcrly. who is a candidate for rcnotnination as railroad commissioner, and numerous others. John O. Crockett, of Kldora, candidate for supreme court clerk, is here. W Cornwall has been on the ground since Saturday, accompanied by his law part ner. (I. H. Martin, of Spencer, and M. -V. Buchan has been busy about the lob bies since Saturday, accompanied by supporters from the Fifth district, and Second district politicians are begin ning to siring in today. State Chairman Spence in speaking .i' the coming convention said he looked for a large attendance, lie has received assurances that lead him to believe full oelegations will come from nearly every county. The total number of delegates in the convention will be 1,233. The members of the state centra. i.'aimittoo who a:--- now in the city in lude Messrs. Spence, Turner, Sargent. I hillips. Whisenand and Way. Messrs. I Whisenand. Way and Turner constitute the committee on arrangements for tin (invention. Altho the local committee has largely completed the arrangements for tin convention, it will hold a meeting this evening to complete unfinished details. The state central committee will prob ably meet Tuesday to look after any preliminaries that may need attention. There is much discussion about the lobbies as to the chances of C. T. Jones for renomination. One story is that Mr. Jones will not have the solid backing of the First district and that this will in part leave hini and go to Buchan, in order to insure the nom ination of that candidate, the defeat of Ketchum and the nomination of Dawson. On the other hand, this is strenuously denied ami it is said Van Huron county and some other parts of the district can not be swung for Jones under tiny circumstances. Friends of other candidates are work ing vigorously and by today every one of the aspirants for nominations will be on the ground directing affairs in person. The greatest interest is displayed in the lobbies over the selection of a member of the resolutions committee from the Seventh district. As tilings stand now. it is probable if the friends of the Cedar Rapids platform oontro' the Seventh district they will control the resolutions committee. There is a desire on the part of a good many Polk county politicians to avoid a contest and talk of bringing out a third can didate who would be suitable to aU elements-. Some of Lafayette Young's friends advised a compromise yesterday and urged the necessity of complete harmony in the district. The personnel of the resolutions committee is discussed considerably about til." lobbies. There is taik of x-Congressman Curtis fiom the Sec ond district. Secretary James Wilson is a delegate from Tama county and may be put oil the resolutions coin initiee from the Fifth if he is willing to lake it. (ieorge K. Roberts will probably represent the Tenth. If A. Funk is here he will represent the Kleventii. Several names have been suggest oil as probably members of the committee from the Ninth. Btitle is heard as tt, the other districts, save from the Sev enih. with W. H. Berry and Bufayett.? Young as the candidates. Talk of Slates Begins. .laIk of slates is already heard about tile lobbies. Just what form they will lake is not entirely settled. There is much talk, however, of a combination that will if carried out mean the nomi nation of Dawson for railroad commis sioner and tiBchan for supreme court clerk. Such a program, if it is attempted. for its object the defeat of by political strategy rather •fly. The friends of Ketchum to the situation ami have al about Io eoimleract will havt than dire are alive ready been castin iny The interest of the convention, so far as candidates are concerned, centers on railroad commissioner. The nomination of supreme court clerk precedes the nomination of rail road commissioner. Mr. Dawson is said to have pretty complete control of his own district. A report about the lobbies is that the friends of Dawson will throw I heir support Buchan and by nominating him for supreme court clerk attempt to forestall the nomina tion of Ketchum. As Buchan and Ket chum are from the same district, the nomination of Buchan will necessarily cripple Ketchum. Ketchum has been making an unusu ally complete canvass of tin- state and his friends believe he can be nominated, unless a combination is worked that will be fatal to his chances. This being tlie ase. there will undoubtedly be attempt on the part of Ketchum and his lieutenants to effect a combination that will include some ether candidate for supreme court clerk than Buchan. Just who will he settled upon seemed much in doubt, last evening. The fri.nds of W. W. Cornwall of Spencer, candidate for supremo court reporter, are here in force and are very hopeful Of the defeat Of B. F. Salinger of Carroll. Mr. Salinger will be on the ground personally today. There is no disguising the fact the Cornwall men the confident of the nomination of their candidate. They admit, however, that Salinger is an indefatigable worker and that lie has been going over the state pretty thoroughly. THE SITUATION IN TEXAS. Pains Hive Ceased and Waters Are Receding. Pallas. Tex., July 28.—During the hist twenty-four hours the aspect of the pood situation in Texas hits grown brighter.
