DISCUSS STATE CONVENTION
' 1 1 n ivit t ii in Ir- I)li-un trn Give Their
Vrrnlmt of Hip (Jrrnt Plnlit
nt Crilur ItnplUs.
"We nro satisfied, but not content," wns
tho way tho nntl-Cummlns delegates put It
when asked how they felt over the nom
ination for governor on their return yester
day from the republican stato convention
at Cedar Rapids. On tho other hand, tho
Cummins delegates wero Jubilant nnd satis
fled thomsclves by saying: "I told you
so." They nil wero of tho same opinion
that It was tho greatest convention over
held In the state, ns far its attendance wns
concerned. That somo of tho delegates
who had hoped to seo Herrlott nominated
wero sorely disappointed wns evident.
Both factions In tho delegation from this
county deny tho report that an agreement
was reached between Cummins nnd Her
rlott, whereby tho latter was to rccelvo
tits nomination for lieutenant governor In
consideration of his pulling out of tho race
for tho gubernatorial nomlnntlon. They
say that even ns lato ns Wednesday after
noon tho Cummins managers wero looking
for Herrlott to ascertain If ho would bo
willing to accept tho nomination for llou
tonant governor. When tho balloting began
thoro was nothing definite that tho nom
ination would go to Herrlott. Adair, tho
llrst on tho list of counties to bo called,
cast Its voto for Herrlott for Heutennnt
governor nnd this stnrtod tho hnll rolling
in his direction, with the result that tho
nomlnntlon fell to him by nn overwhelming
mnjorlty.
Tho mnkoup of the Pottnwnttnmle dele
gation proved a surprlso to somo of tho
nntl-Cummlns men. It wns supposed that
sixteen of tho delegates wero stanch Her
rlott men, whllo It was conceded that
eighteen wero for Cummins. The balloting
In tho caucus of the Ninth district, how
ever, showed that twenty of tho thirty
four delegates favored Cummins. Whon It
camo to a showdown tho nntl-Cummlns
faction discovered thcx had mado a mis
take by placing on tho delegation n Cum
mins delegate from Silver Creek township,
whereas tho man Intended was from Car
son. Doth happened to be of the same
nattto. The antl-Cummlns forces In tho
delegation received nnother shock whon J.
B .Matlock of Crescent township openly
declared himself In the caucus for Cum
mins, Matlock nt tho county convention
had hecu a candldato for the nomination
for represontatlvo nnd was defeated, Ho
laid his defeat to Krnost Hart nnd other
supporters of Herrlott nnd voted ngalnst
them when he got to Cednr Rnplds. He
had been counted ns an nntl-Cummlns man.
Tho Cummins dolegates from Pottawatta
mie county took tho position that the
ngreement entered into beforo the county
convention hero npplled only to the voto
on governor nnd declined to recognlio It
ns binding In tho cnuctts. From the spirit
displayed by some of the delegntcs It Is
snld that It was doubtful If they would
havo cast their voto nt any tlmo for Her'
rlott for governor It he had not withdrawn
from tho race.

COLONEL SAUNDERS' BERTH
Felloiv DcleKntcc Cnehrr It 1 ill Out of
Ills llcrrtntlnn In Meep
Iiir Cnr,
Colonel C. 0. Saunders was the victim of
a practical Joke at the hands of some of hit
fellow-delegates from the republican stato
convention at Cedar Rapids Wednesday
night.
George S. Wright telegraphed to Chicago
to reserve a section In the sleeper for him
self, Postmaster Treynor nnd J. P. Green
shields nnd wns disappointed to nnd he
coult' only get an upper berth. When the
train arrived ho learned that tho lower
berth had been reserved for tho colonel.
The three put their henda together nnd de
cided to euchre the colonel out of his berth.
Grocnshlclds went to tho conductor and
said: "You have the lower berth In section
12 reserved for C. 0. Saunders, have you
not?" The conductor, supposing Green
shields was Saunders, replied In the nfllrm
ntlvo and hnnded him a check for the bf rth.
When Colonel Saunders reached the train
nnd applied for his reserved berth he was
somewhat surprised to find thnt a C. G.
Saunders was already In possession of It. To
fay that tho colonel was wroth would bo
putting It mildly, nnd tho conductor, to
oven matters, gave him a berth In tho elate
room.
Sleeting .Messrs. Wright, Treynor and
Grcenshlelds Inter In tho car, Colonel
Saunders told them of how someone had
Impersonated him and secured the berth he
had reserved. "What wbb the number of
your berth?" asked Wright. Tho colonel
told hint. "Why, wo found n fellow In pos
session of a check for that berth and gave
him ?3.I0 for It. ns I happened to have the
upper berth In the same section nnd wc
three wnnted to be together," said Wright,
nnd the colonel went to bed never drenmtng
who It wns had secured his borth.

DES MOINns. Aug. 8. (Special.) It Is
announced that the republican stato com
mittee will meet In two weeks In Des
Sloincs and the old committee will turn
over Its affairs to tho new one. Thcie
aro only two new members of tho state
committee, which consists of eleven men,
and tho strength of factious lu the com
mittee Is tho samo ns before. A majority
of tho members were opposed to the ele
ment which won out in the convention. In
view of this tact It Is probnble that It
will offer to tho candidates on tho state
ticket the privilege of selecting a chair,
man who Is to have charge of the cam
paign. There Is nothing to prevent the
committee selecting a chairman who is not
of the committee, nnd this has been done
In the past with advantage to the party.
Several prominent men aro In favor of
this, although others fear that the result
might bo to give the now dominant faction
too much of an ndvnntnge next year.
A. 11. Cummins, the successful candidate
for governor, arrived home this evening,
looking well after -his prolonged fight nnd

SII33 Alice Tyler, secretary of the Iowa
library commission, makes good report of
the work which has been dono tho last few
months in encouraging interest In libraries
nnd library work In Iowa. She was elected
secretary of tho commission Octobr 1, 1000.
slncj which tlmo she has visited twenty
eight towns of Iowa for the purpose of con
ferring with library boards as to hotter
organizations or to hold meetings of wo
men's clubs preliminary to Inaugurating tho
library movement or for actual work of
reorganization In connection with tho local
librarian. Tho visits were from a week to
ton days In length In mnny places. She ra
ports that one of the most remarkable fea
tures of tho work has been the readiness
nnd cugnrncss ot lown towns to tako ad
vantage of tho assistance offered by the
library commission. Tito work of tho sum
mer school for librarians at the State uni
versity wns highly successful. Lnst fall a
periodical clearing houso was established
for tho exchange of periodical literature and
n largo number of oubllc nnd private II
brarles nre engaged In this. Regarding the
generosity of tho citizens of Iowa townrd
llbrnrlcs Miss Tyler reports:
"Tho generous gifts by public-spirited
citizens of handsome library buildings to
their homo communities are a Just cause for
congratulation and certainly cannot be too
highly praised. Such gifts an that made by
Sir. P. SI. Mujser to .Muscatine, Mr. Joel
Stuart of Grinnoll and Governor F. M,
Drnko to Centerville do much to arouse
other communities to similar endeavors and
aro an Inspiration to tho whole stato, while
Sir. Andrew Carnoglo'a generous gifts to
Davenport, Ottumwa, Dubuquo, Cedar
Rapids and Upper lown university nre
gratefully npprcclnted by ull who aro In
terested In seeing a strong freo library In
nil our cities and universities. We aro
proud of our stato at nil times nnd espr
clnlly proud of tho manner In which It has
taken hold of tho library movement and Is
coming steadily and rapidly to the front.
Tho commission, Inspired by tho way In
which our people nro tnklng hold of tho
work, Is planning greater things for the
coming yenr and looks forward to twelve
mcaths of continued success nnd progress."
