Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Marcih 16.—By carrying the "Worth and Howard county con ventions Saturday afternoon, the "pro gressives retain control of tlie Fourth district and will name two delegates to the national convention. Th« standpat majority in the state convention will be approximately 150, and as this is a safe working majority the standpat anti-Taft crowd will be encouraged to make a fight in the con vention against instructing the -owa delegation to Chicago. Color is given to the rumor that there will be a contest against instructions by the fact tihat Hughes workers have en gaged rooms at a leading hotel and will keep headquarters open during the convention. J. W. Blythe of Burlington, has also engaged rooms at the sa/me hotel and will make an effort to dictate the course of the cor/ven tion. $s The twenty-one' conventions that were held Saturday Increased the lead that the standpatters have helt, for thie past week or so, tJhe standpatters capturing about 145 of the 249 dele gates chosen and the progressive.') 104. According' to the best information at jiand, the standpatters have elected a total of 648% delegates, excluding the contested counties of Des Moines and Butler, and the progressives have elected ft total of 606% dele gates. If the Des Moines delegates are taken by the standpatters, asueems likely, and the Butler delegates are given to the progressives, the vote in the convention will stand 666% standpat, and 617% .progressive, Ji ma jority of 149 for the standpatters. These figures may change on the con vention roll 'call, for here and there ai® individual standpatters or progres sives on the delegations not bound by majority rule and who will vote oth erwise than the majority. The following were the results of Saturday's conventions: Progressive—Black Hawk, 12 Cher okee, 11 Clinton, 22 Emmet, 8 How ard, 9 Humboldt, 8 Ida, 8 Shelby, 6 Winneshiek, 14 Worth, 7. Total, 104. iStandpat—Adair, 9: .Audubon, 8 Black Hawk, 6 Buchanan, 12 Cal houn, 9 Cass, 11 Cedar. 11 Dela ware, 10 Iowa. 9 Jones, 10 Musca tine, 16 Scott, 29 Shelby, 6. Total, 1*5. The decided victory won by the standpatters has developed something of rivalry between the standpat lead ers. By common consent it was t'.iought that George D. Perkins, editor of the Sioux City Journal, and standpft can didate for governor against Cummins in 1906, would be put to the fore and made not only the chairman of the delegation to the national convention but the premanent chairman of the state convention. Opposition developed Saturday to the last part of this pto gram. National Commltteemar. Hart, who is a candidate for re-election to membership of the committee for a third term and also for delegate at large, is said to be promoting the can didacy of former state Representative W. S. Hart of Waukon for permanent chairman. It is said the arrangement was made with Mr. Hart when it was expected that standpatters might control the Fourth district, and supporters of Mr. Perkins hint that a deal was arranged whereby the national committeeman would receive the support of his name sake's district in return for supporting him as permanent chairman. ^Thile admitting their defeat i: a sure one the Cummins supporters ?.re pre paring to push the governor'.') cam paign for the United States senate with all the vigor possible. Headquart ers will be maintained during he con vention and thousands of badgss bear ing the words "Cummins at the pri maries," have been prepared for dis tribution' among the delegates and vis itors.

You will be unable to find a medicine so well suited for the purpose of pre venting and curing colds as Dr. A. "W. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills, because of their wonderfully prompt and thor ough action on the liver, kidneys and bowels.

FOR RHEUMAYiS Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste have failed to cany off. This waste or refuse matter ferments and sours and generates uric acid which is absorbed into the blocd and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism, with its torturing pains and aches, inflammation and other disagreeable symptoms, gets pos session of the system. Thi aches and pains may be relieved and the infla:::-, mation temporarily reduced by the application of a good plaster, penetratir'Vj liniment or some other simple home remedy, but the disease can never: I» cured while the blood remains saturated with the irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The cause should be driven from the blood before tlie trouble reaches the chronic or helpless stage. S. S.
