'I kon Re Seraankla for Plaees on tha Caanty Ticket. Although the democrat of Pottawat tamie county are scheduled to hold their convention Thursday, July 14, there has been up to date very llttl talk of candi dates and aspirants for the several nomina tlona for county office, If Uier ara any, are keeping well under cover. It has been said that they aro awaiting tha result of the national convention In St. Louis before announcing themselves. Following the city election, when the democrats were flushed with victory, they talked loud and long of sweeping the county platter clean this fall, but Indications are now that this confldenc has been some what shattered, as - a prominent member of the party slated yesterday that It looked aa If most of the county nominations would go begging, and this la sold to be especially true of the nomination for county attorney. There had been strong hopes among the democrats that John P. Organ, who Is con ceded to be one of tha strongest men in the party In this .county, would accept the nomination for county attorney, but he has positively declined to have his name men tioned and has flatly announced that even If the nomination la forced on' him he wilt decline to run. F. W. Mller, chairman of the democratic county central commit tee, has been approached, but be has also declined to be considered as an aspirant for the nomination. W. H. Ware has been mentioned. but he has asserted that he is not a candidate for any office, even that of county attorney. Roscoe Barton of Avoca, It is reported, might be Induced to accept this nomination and falling him the party may be able to fall back on Ira Stltt of Carson. Al Lenocker of Oakland Is, as far as Is known, the only avowed candidate for a nomination at present In the field. . Mr. Lenocker two years ago was nominated' for county auditor and was defeated by R. V. Innes. Thla year Mr. Lenocker Is out after the nomination for clerk of the dis trict court and It Is generally believed that he will have but little If any opposition. There has been some talk of nominating City Clerk Louts Zurmuehlen for county auditor and It Is said he can have the nomination If he wlir accept It Mr. Zur muehlen, however. Insists that he Is not an aspirant for any county office. No names have been mentioned aa yet In connection with the nomination for county recorder. The precinct primaries to select delegates to the county convention are to be held Saturday night of this week and by that time It la expected something will be known of the probable candidate.

July I (Special.) A great deal of Interest attaches at ths present time to tha atUtude of leading republican politicians and republican newspapers to ward the biennial elections amendment which is to be one of the Issues In the campaign this year. Those who desire peaca and harmony In the state and would avoid further political strife, and especially would avoid anything that would afford opportunity for revival of factionalism n the republican party, are lining up for ths biennial elections amendment If It car ries there will be no political contest In the state next year. Those who want to see tho factional nght revived between the old political machine and the present state administration are lining up to defeat tha amendment arid thus to precipitate a con test for governor and tha legislature next year. The senatorial question can only In cidentally enter Into the question at all. If the biennial elections amendment passes the present legislature will hold an extra session In January, 1908, to legislate for one year and make the appropriations, but would not elect a senator. If the amend ment Is defeated the legislature elected next year would select Senator Dollfver again or his successor. The present legis lature cannot select a senator unless In the case of death or resignation of one of the present senators, and both ara tn splendid health.. There are some Indications that tho organisation which was formed this year to control the late state convention In Iowa, and which organization is somewhat dis credited by tha more recent national con vention at Chicago, will be put In order for a light next year In case the biennial elec tions amendment la defeated, and that a determined effort will be made to effect a complete change In the state administra tion. A good 'deal ot nonsense has been written about possible or probable candi dates for governor for each faction, but it Is safe to say that there has been noth ing done beyond the merest Informal talk of available men fdr the place. There has. also been repeated efforts made to show that it haa already been decided who wlU run for congress In tho Seventh district, but this Is sheer guesswork, and It Is I known here that leaders of factions are quite willing to let matters drop for the present and to turn their attention to the national campaign. Counties Report Slowly. The state auditor has found It necessary to telegraph a peremptory order to several county auditors of the state to Insist on their making their returns to the state of the abstract of assessments made as of January 1 this year. A good many ot the county auditors were slow In making their reports. Seven counties are aa yet unreported, namely: Linn, Marlon, Wright, Adair, Black Hawk, Calhoun and Des Moines. . Their, reports war,aowi ovardue, for tha abstracts should be made up and the executive council should begin on the making of . equalizations next week.

We want the commissioners to be the higher house and we want the privilege ot electing a lower house for our selves. This will give the actual residents of the Philippine Islands a greater voice In the. government of . the Islands than they now possess or U provided for In the re publican platform." ..

The meeting was held for the purpose of organizing, but also took up the question of policy with refer ence to Mr. Cleveland. Seventeen of the. twenty-four delegates are for Mr. Cleve land, but they decided not to press his name unless there should appear to be a good prospect of his nomination. Seven of the New Jersey delegates ore for Parker, but no effort has been made to reach a decision as to a candidate In case a definite conclusion not to present Mr. Cleveland's name is reached. Former , Comptroller Eckles, who held office under Mr. Cleveland, upon being pressed for a definite announcement would only say: "I am sure w will have a conservative ticket on a conservative platform."

Km BRYAN ARRIVES AT ST. LOUIS Loader Will Be Member of Committee oa Credential. ST. LOUIS, July 8. William Jennings Bryan arrived at the Jefferson hotel shortly before noon today and from the moment that he net foot In the hotel he was an exceedingly busy man, his callers being so many that he found It difficult to obtain time for meals. , - The Instant ha walked Into the lobby of th hotel he waa surrounded by a dense crowd, which pressed forward to shake him by the hand. There was no cheering or demonstration of any kind, beyond the pressure of the throng around him, which Anally became so dense that be had dif ficulty In reaching his room. As soon as h. entered the door of his apartment the visitor were upon him and from that time on he was given no rest. He declined to express an opinion regard ing the outcome of the convention. "I see," he said, "that It has been re ported that I am to be a member of the committee on credentials. I would like to be, but I will not. I am to be a member of the committee on resolutions and could hardly serve on them both. The committee on credentlnls will have an Important mat ter to settle at this convention. It must determine whether or not the party is to be run by gavel rule. "In my opinion there Is no more Im portant question before the public today than whether or not a few men, on of whom happens to have a garel In his hand. shall override the wishes of the voters who have selected certain men to repre sent them la convention.

Of course it goes without saying that I am opposed to such a thing and I will not stand for it" , "Does that mean that if a gold plank Is Inserted in the platform that you will leave the convention?" Mr. Bryan . laughed heartily as he re plied: "I don't think that I will be called to answer that question in the conven tion any more than I am compelled to an swer It now. Really, though, I could not discuss such a question as that" When asked if he had any particular financial plank that tie proposed to father before the committee on resolutions Mr. Bryan declined to say, merely remarking: "I cannot talk of that matter before the meeting of the committee on resolutions." Neither would Mr. Bryan say If he would accept a financial plank compromising be tween affirmation of the Kansas City and Chicago platforms and a gold plonk. ' Later in the day Mr. Bryan gave out the following formal statement; After conferences with a number of delegates from various sections l am satis fied that the opposition to Judge Parker is sufllolent to make his nomination highly improbable. It not Impossible. There haa been no concentration upon any anti-Parker candidate. , The contestants will present the endorse ment of a majority of the delegates of the convention, who, having been deprived of a voice In the state convention, will appeal for Justice 'to the national organ ization. The national committee cannot en dorse the Hopkins methods without over throwing the most fundamental of demo cratic doctrines, via., the right of the ma jority to rule. When asked about .the platform, Mr. Bryan replied that nothing definite could be said on the subject; he hoped to see a platform satisfactory to the democrats who had borne th burden of the fight In recent campaign. On the subject of candidates he maintain the attitude that he ha maintained ail along, saying that he Is not urging the nomination of any particular person and will be satisfied with anyone whose democracy Is unquestioned, and who can be trusted to faithfully carry out democratlo policies after election. Contention of Hopkins Crowd. The' Hopklns people contend' that the na tional committee will not be able to take cognizance of the contests In Illinois for the reason that there was no bolt from the state convention by either the Hearst or Harrison people and that the national committee cannot take up a contest unless It Is a state matter. Differences arising from district cau cuses, they claim, are not within the prov ince of the national committee. In ad dition to tha contests In Illinois there will be a fight for all of the seats ot the dele gates from the District of Columbia. The Hearst management claims in this connec tion that arbitrary rulings by the chair man gavo the seats unjustly to delegates who ara friendly to Oorman. Bea Want Ads produce th beat result.
