"Present indicatlona are that It Is any-
body's ' fight , " said a promInent republican I
yesterday In talking of the congressional
convention which wtll be held here Thurs-
( lay , and this seems to be the prevailing
opinion. While it is true that ax-Speaker
Dyers vIll come before the convention with
forty-eIght instructed votes for him , ho yet
lacks nine to secure the nomination and
there are those who profess to know who
say that he wilt have considerable dliii-
culty in getting these nine votes. Mr. flyers'
friends on the other hmami feel confident
that when the first break comes In the hal-
loting helr candidate will secure sutilcient
votes to secure him the nomination without.
fall. how soon , however , they xpect this
break to come they are not prepared to
say.
say.There was some talk on the streets yesterday -
terday that the Cass county delegation ,
which is instructed for Major Curtis , would
probably swing to flyers and thus give him
the nomination , but this Is denied , and
rumors are to the effect that there will
likely be a combination of forces to beat
flyers and either nominate linger or McPherson -
Pherson , which It does not matter much ,
so long as flyers Is not nominated. Smith
McPherson on the first ballot wIll only
have the twelve votes of Montgomery , his
home county , but old time politicians who
have witnessed and taken part In many
a congressioaal convention , say that his
chance for the nomination is just as good
as if he bad more votes at his hack at
the start. McPherson , it is said , will have
mans' friends in the convention and his
nomination Is not unlooked for by his sup-
porters. Mr. McPherson Is in the city In
conference with his supporters and will
probably remain here until after the con-
vention. The other canlidates are expected
to arrive hero today when some lively work
may be looked for.
Friends of Mr. Hager are not at all despondent -
spondent and they say the outlook for his
nomination is considerably brighter titan
it may apear on the outside. They hook
torward to a long drawn fight at the coil-
vention , but hope to land their candidate
a winner in the long run , as they believe
when the break comes they will be able to
draw from flyers' strength. The situation
iB admitted by all to be a pretty comphi-
catel OttO and no one ventures to prophesy
the outcome ot the convention , The dale-

A. 13. Cummins , attorney for tim water
works company , says Bannister's view is
correct ; that the women of Des Moines
have the right to vote for or against. this
proposition. Separate ballot boxes must be
provided and the women's votes counted
independent of thoss f the men.
Becatmse of the fact that the state printer
hues presented a bill to the state of $1,000
for printing two sntnih check registers of
200 pages each , there Is a big row on hand
at the state house. Secretary of State
Dobson said this morning that he could not
tell what time outcome of the controversy
over the bill would be , but be was certain
of one thing , that he would never allow
the $1,000. Said ho :
"I will allow time state printer onhy time
regular coinniercial price which such books
bring anti 'that , I think. would not. anmount
to more than $30 each. I told the state
printer to come anl 500 me today about
the matter , If lie chose , Ho has not been
hero m'et. but I ant as fixed as ever in my
determination to refuse to pay his exorhi-
taat bill. "

Oilman and Powell of the Insane hospital at
Mount Pleasant. and the home for feeble
minded at Glenwood have been at the office
of the State Board of Control the past week
conferring with relation to matters at. their
institutions. Some of the changes made in
the conduct of state institutions by the
board have required fUrther explanation or
conference from time , o time , and when it
hmas not been convenient for a member of
the board to go to the institution and arrange -
range details the smmperintendent. has in a
number of cases come to Des Moines , where
everything could be talked over and a
thorough understanding arrived at in a short
space of time. Contrary to reports , thiero
has been practically no friction between the
superintendents of institutions or other of.
ficers of them anti the state board , either
because of reductions of salaries or on account -
count of changes in metimods. On the contrary -
trary , many letters have been received at the
board's office here eongratulatIng'ith niem-
bers on the goo4 jufigniemit exercised in time
changes made ant ] on the satisfactory work
possible to do under the new system , the
willie feeling that no one institution was
being better taken care of than
another , anti that the inmates were
receiving the best of everything
it was possible to obtain for
them. One superintendent , in writing with
regard to the rule recently sent out by the
board permitting stiperintencnts to raise
the salaries of tlmose in some of the bower
grades $5 a mouth if in their judgment
such a raise would be of benefit to the state
in the way of making those receiving it take
a greater interest In its work , and hook
more closely after the interests of Iowa
and her institutions , said that the liberality
of the board WOUIi permit. hIm to greatly
stinmulato seine of his force in their already
excellent work , and lie believed that. time
board would ever be glad that it made it
possible for tIme superlntentlonts to increase
pay In certaimi cases where such an Increase
would be appreciated and would redound to
the good of the state. It is time many good
timings the board has done which have not
been heralded abroad that make it jiopu-
ljmr with the people who are in position to
know the facts , and it. is believetl that it
will become steadily macro anti more popular ,
and In winning popularity win the lasting
esteem and confidence of time people by its
