of a letter from John N. Parsons, secretary
of the national organization of letter car
rions, regarding tho bill u6r boforo congress
for nn Increaso in tho snlarien of letter

that Speaker Honderson alone stood in tho
way of tho passngo of tho bill and tho na
tional secretary urged tho Iowa members
of the association to bring nil tlie Influonco
they could to bear upon Hesiderson to tnovo
him from tho position ho had taken. In hU
letter Parsons asserted that Speaker Honder
son in afraid ho will be held accountable for
tho largei appropriations of tho present con
gress nnd for this reason Is refusing to per
mit tho bill of tho letter carriers to go be
foro tho house.
In view of the conditions said to exist,
according to Secretary Parsons' letter, tho
convention decided to telegraph to Congress
man McPherson, asking him to be preeout
at tho consideration of tho bill by the legis
lative committee of tho houso next Friday
nnd to use his best offorta in its behalf.
This telegram was framed and dispatched to
McPherson at the afternoon session.
Tho afternoon session was opened by nn

Ilxprpsslons of Gratitude,
The committeo on resolutions Included in
Its report resolutions of thanks to Post
master Troynor, the local members of the
association and all those who had been In
strumental in caring for tho delegates to
tho convention, and providing for their en
tertainment and comfort. It also reported
a resolution that tho state association should
select a delegate at large to the national
convention and that tho stato secretary bo
instructed to wtRo to tho national secre
tary and secure a dispensation for one dele
gato at large.
Anothor resolution reported opposed tho
change proposed In tho civil service rules,
contemplating the appointment of carriers
for terms of five years.
Another resolution reporjedjf but. which,
after considerable discussion, Vas laid on
tho tablo, waB one declaring tho opposition
of tho association to the eight hours a day
law and favoring n forty-eight hour a week
schedule in Its place. This was laid on
tho table, ns its adoption, it was thought,
might projudlco tho salary bill now before
congress and might lead to troublo for tho
carriers themselves.
A per capita tax of 25 cents was fixed for
tho ensuing year. After some minor routine
mnttors had been dUposed of tho convention
adjourned until this morning, when tho
election ot ofllcers for the ensuing year will

Tho democrats of Pottawattamie county
apparently did not tnko much Interest In
tho county convention to select delegates to
tho stato convention, held in this city yes
terday afternoon, ns tho meeting came closo
to dying a natural death for want of n
quorum. As it was, It was a full hour after
tho appointment 1 o'clrck before a suffi
cient number of tho delegates had put In an
nppearanco in the superior court room to
wnrrant Chairman Cooper of tho county
central committee calling tho gathering to
order. Even nt that hour roll call disclosed
tho fact that only eleven otlt of tho twenty
Bcvcn country precincts wero represented.
Tho attendance from tho city was also email,
two of the precincts being unrepresented.
Chairman Cooper, In calling tho convention
to order, refrained from ninking a speech
and at onco proceeded to business by nam
ing M. A. Stcmpel of Macedonia temporary
chairman. Frank Fox of the Fifth ward
was then selected as temporary secretary.
Chairman Stcmpel, on assuming tho gavel,
admitted thnt It was the first time thxc ho
had been called upon to presfTJr at such a
"function," and ho eagerly seized tho op
portunity to work off a. little address. In
tho courso of his remarks ho said tho
brightest prospects were boforo tho demo
cratic party today nnd everything favor
ablo for tho election of tho man whom they
had tried to elect four years ago. Democratic
principles, he said, this year havo tho big
ond of tho bargain, and "wo have a down
hill pull on them." The "them" was taken
to moan the republican pnrty and the speaker
was cheered. In conclusion, the speaker
vouchsafed tho assertion thnt It looked ns
if provldenco had taken a hand In tho politi
cal game and that William Jennings Bryan
was as good as elected president. This re
innrk again roused tho convention nnd there
was loud and prolonged applause from tho
thrco dozen delegates present.
Following tho speech of the chairman,
City Attorney Wadsworth offereil as a roward
for tho effort that the temporary organiza
tion bo made perninnont and tho suggestion
met with unanimous favor.
Tho real business of tho convention was
then started going by O. P. Wickham, who
suggested that tho chair appoint a commit
too of flvo to select the names of twenty
four delegates to attend tho state conven
tion to be held In Des Moines next Thurs
day. This was opposed by Loo Jones of
Rockford, who thought ho saw tho hazy
form of a mammoth sized niggor in tho
woodpile, and ho nmonded tho motion by
insisting that tho committee bo composed
of ono member from each precinct. The
nmendmont, after more or less discussion,
during which all parliamentary rules took
a recess, was accepted by Wlckhnm, and a
placid calm sottlod down onco more over
the gathering.
In ordor to avoid the expense and troublo
of calling another county convention, At
torney Wadsworth moved that tho samo
delegates elected to the stato convention
servo at the congressional and Judicial con
ventions, as yet uncalled. This did not qulto
suit Delegate Wickham, nnd ho opposed tho
motion. On being put to tho vote, however,
Wadsworth carried the day.
A roll call was then taken of tho pre
cincts for tho selection of the committeo
to name delegates and It showed that tho
following townships wero not represented:
llelknap, Center, Garner, Grovo, Hardin,
Hazel Doll, James, Lnyton, Lincoln, Pleas
ant, Silver Croek, Valley, Washington,
Wright, Wavolnnd and York. When tho two
precincts ot the First ward of the city
wero called John Booth modestly admitted
that ho was tho only delegate from the two
precincts present and his name was placed
on tho committee. Tho Second precinct of
the Sixth ward also failed to respond to
tho call.
Tho commlttoo was finally appointed as
follows: John Thomas, Roomer; Georgo
Dye, Carson; William Currle, Crescent; H.
F. Saar, Keg Creek; J. T. Hazon, Knox; R.
G. Williams, Lewis; L. Mickey, Macedonia;
J. AV. Crow, Mlnden; G. A. 'Murphy, Neola;
John Currle, Norwnlk; Loe Jones, Rockford;
John Booth, Emll Schurz, W. H. Knepher,
E. P. Senrle, J. II. Bryant, O. P. Wickham,
Fritz Frodhnrt, J. K. Cooper, J. W.. Corey,
D. L. Weir, Council Rluffs.
Whon the committeo retired to nn inner
room to prepare tho list of delegates it
practically exhausted tho convention, there
boing hardly half a dozen delegatro loft In
tho room. The committee after being out
about hnlf an hour brought In tho following
list, which was adopted without dlsputo:
I). W. Iloruff, S. B. Wadsworth, Roscoo Bar
ton, H. H. MartenB, J. M. Coons, J. W.
Crowe, H. Mnndel, P. D. Jones, Victor Jen

P. Organ, E. P. Searle, O. P. Wickham,
Henry Atkins, R. D. Leech, Dan Dr'scoll,
W. C. Boyer, George Thomas, J. M. Kelley,
D. Macrae, Jr., Thomas E. Casady, S. D.
Tobey, A. W. Wyman.
About tho only nnimatlon displayed by the
convention was whon It came to select a
chairman of tho county central committee
to succeed J. K. Cooper. Somo of tho dele
gates woro satlsJled with Cooper and wuro
In favor of refusing to accopt his reslgna
tlon. Cooper, however, declared emphat
ically that ho would not servo another year
and suggested tho namo of L. Zurmuchlon,
Jr. Now tho lattor happens to be chairman
of tho city central committee and some of
tho dclegatos wero of the opinion this was
honor enough. Tho name of Brooks Reed
was suggested, but that gentleman from
tho lobby declared that ho had no tlmo to
attend to tho duties of tho offl.ee and de
clined tho houor with thanks. As no ono
elso seemed anxious to uspire to tho posi
tion It was finally knocked down to Louis
Zurmuohlon.
This concluded tho business in hand and
tho convontlon on motion of Pete Peterson
stojd adjourned.

DES MOINES, May L (Spnclal Tclo
gram.) Governor Shaw today attached hU
slgnaturo to tho new building and loan law,
which becomes offectlvo In July. Undor Its
provisions all building and loan associations
now doing buslnctu in Iowa must amend
their nrtlclcs by July ID to agroo with tho
provisions of the new law or go out of busi
ness. Many of tho building nnd loan men say
the law will force thcra to loave the state.
This morning Governor Shaw stated that
ho would allow the valued policy bill to be
como a law without his signature. But a fow
moments later ho retracted from thin state
ment and declared that he was again In &
quandary. Tho fact is that unless tho gov
ernor attaches his signature to this bill It
will havo tho samo force o a straight veto.
So tho chief executive will bo compelled to
assume tho responsibility of either enacting
into law or vetoing the measure which he
Is convinced Is bad In practlco If not in prln
clplo. That ho Is convinced of evils lurking
In tho measure tho governor admitted In
conversation this morning. Ho says his In
vestigations ha,vo convinced him that the
effect ot tho valued policy law is not only
detrimental to the Insuranco companies but
to the Insured. In Missouri, tho governor
says, whoro ho mado, perhaps, the most ex
tenslvo investigation, tho rates under tho
valuod policy law are much higher than In
Iown, a direct result of tho law. Ho left for
Chicago thlej evening without taking any
action in tho matter. Ho goes to Chicago an
a delegate to the general conference of tho
Methodist church.
