Against It STATE CONVENTION THIS WEEK Probability Bfe Heeolations Bearing; on Tnls Sobjeet Will Be ' Pat Through and Local CandU ' . dates Protected. (From a Staff Correspondent) DE8 MOINES, July 7.-(Speclai.-The republicans of Iowa are scheduled to meet In state convention this week, and among the leaders there is full realisation that unless great care Is exercised there will be such a breaking up of the party as will make it Impossible to win a victory this year. The first consideration of practically all who wilt attend the state convention will be the Interests of the local candidates. There Is a complete state ticket in the field nominated by the republicans In the state wide primary and on this ticket there are standpatters and progressives In about equal numbers. There are legislative candidates In every county of the state. There are candi dates for congress and judges, and can dldates for county offices down to town ship trustees. In all there are 2,000 or 3,000 aspirants for office whose interests must be regarded. - The delegates to the state convention the coming week were selected by county conventions in which the delegates who sat were elected by vote of the republi cans in each county. These delegates are all republicans and they desire that the republican party shall be maintained strong and able to elect state and district officials and control affairs in Iowa. It la therefore certain that there will not be at this time any consideration given to the formation of any new party to take over the affairs of the state. There has actually been no talk of this in Iowa by anybody.' It Is agreed that no new party ideas will be considered. But on the other band, the temper of the delegates coming to the county con vention, as Indicated by the kind of reso lutions that were adopted at the various county conventions, Is In favor of placing the party on advanced ground in this state and pre-empting, to some extent any issue that mlght.be taken up by any one disposed to form a new party. It is believed that if this Is done, the third party movement will be effectually ended here. '.' . V " !'.?'- Worried as to Head of Ticket. The leaders are in considerable doubt as to what resolutions to adopt In regard to the Taft and Sherman nomination. It is believed now to be certain that no resolutions of any kind specifically en dorsing the nominees of the Chicago con vention can be got through the Iowa re publican convention. It is the program to lay on the table any resolutions that look to committing the members of the party in this state to support of Taft and Sherman as a test of party fealty. There may be, and probably will be, some en dorsement of certain things accomplished by the administration the last few years and commendation of any progressive measures favored. , But It is far more likely that ' whatever resolutions are adppted will leave each and every re publican In Iowa free to follow his own Ideas as to support of the national candi dates, or rather the candidates tor presi dential electors. The state and local tickets, having been nominated at prl mar : eWtibja and about which there being n controversy whatever, will be odfamended as worthy the confidence of the voters. : . ' f K-i . ' Will Name Two Judges. ' , The principal business of the convention will be the naming of two candidates tor supreme Judge on the republican ticket There are a number of candidates, in cluding Justices Sherwln and MoClaln of the. bench, Judges Ransler of Indepen dence, Gay nor of Le Mars, Preston of Newton, ' Dawley of Cedar Rapids' and Barker of Clinton., The national ques tions have so far overshadowed this fight that nobody is able to do any guessing on the outcome. Ex-Senator D. W. Turner of Corning is to be temporary chairman of the state convention and he - wilt deliver a key note address that will be a call to def inite action for the party. Democrats Are Retnrnlnc. The Iowa delegates to the Baltimore convention are returning, but with no brass bands, and generally coming back on different trains. The delegation failed to cover Itself with glory, and tn tact, caused a great deal of criticism by divid ing as to the temporary chairman. The majority of the delegation stood out for Clark, while at home the demand of the democrats was tor support of Wilson for the nomination. But generally the delegates and visitors are declaring they will support the nominees, of the con vention, and there seems to be no dubt that the party will be well united In this state, for the campaign. , No Liquor Issno Tnls Year. It Is understood that neither the r publicans nor ths democrats will put Into state platforms anything this viar that wilt raise an Issue on the liquor license and regulation question. In the last campaign the democrats were badly handicapped by a plank whloh was re garded as unduly favorable to the saloon interests. They will avoid this in Iowa In the presidential year. There was some talk of the republicans endorsing a plan for a change tn the method of se curing saloon consent petitions but this may not be done. Consideration of Babies, ' To ths women's clubs of Iowa and con gress of mothers is due the development of a great deal of Interest tn the sounoe of rearing children, and some new Ideas as to baby shows. The "Babies' Health contest," held at the state fair last year, proved a great success, for it was there that was used for the first time, an of ficial score card by which might be Judged the merits' of various bablea as to , their good health and general qual ities. With this was also arranged a school for instruction In the care of In fants. Thls is to be repeated at the fair this year' and the clubs of women throughout the state have taken great Interest tn the event Similar exhibits and contests are being arranged at county and district fairs, and it Is be lieved that in time It will be known thai Iowa people take as much care of their babies as they 'do of their calves and pigs. : ' ; Work for the Tramps. , Des Moines will accent 'the offer of. a local railroad comDanv to donate KA.A0O ties which will be used for fuel la the homes of the poor this winter and will be sawed by the prisoners sentenced in police court The offer was made to Superintendent of PubUo Safatv P. f.

Big Difference in - Water Board Sums "l see by the evening -papers today ' said a water consumer, "that the Waver board has been granted a tax . levy of $100,060 by the city council in lieu of the hydrant rental formerly, collected by the Omaha Water company.' ""This action explains why the board looked so lightly upon the $500 a day the City, lost for over fifjy days as a result of its hasty and, secret sale of the water bonds. That 125,000 was but a drop In the bucket to the-way money was disappear ing in another direction. "On April 30, 1912, John L. Webster, as attorney for the Water board,, made a report, which was published at the time, setting forth a most elabora analysis of the water companys revenues and ex penditures, and concluding with the state ment: The converse of the case is that, as shown by Mr. Gilchrist's report after the city shall have come into , pos session of the plant it can pay operating expenses, Interest on the S7.000.0QO of bonds and have a surplus per year of (262,300.' But cow Mr. Webster Is telling the council that the water company, without the collection of the : hydrant rental, could not. have operated the plant "You will notice that within sixty days a difference of $362,000 has come in - Mr. Webster's calculations, a trifle of $8,000 a day.
