ONLY ONE CONTEST FOR PLACE ON TICKET
Present Railroad Commissioner Hot
Candidate for RewonUnatlon a4
There Will Be a Scrambla for

(From a Start Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 6. (Special.) Despite
the fact that the late republican convention
Is generally supposed to have left some
political 'sore spots about the state, It Is
declared today by a republican of state
reputation and one who has had much to
do with shaping the policy of the party
the past year in relation to the tariff and
reciprocity questions that the second con
vention to be held In Des Moines July 20
will prove a veritable love fesst.'
Since the holding of the national con
vention there has been a sweeping away of
the Jealousies which have cropped out in
Iowa, republican politics during the last
two or three years and the evidences all
point to, the lining up of the leaders and
rank and file of the party under the na
tional platform and the casting of the
largest vote in ue msior, u..
Roosevelt and Fairbanks
The. recently published article by Gov
ernor Cummins on reciprocity, which was
written for the Encyclopedia Americana,
has had a good effect. In the article the
governor has had an opportunity to ex
press his ylews to a much greater extent
and In a more comprehensive manner than
heretofore, when his utterances have only
corns In the line of seml-polltleal addresses
and the general impression has been made
thkt he is not so radical on the subject as
Ma political foes have been charging.
Another good sign for the party Is seen
In tha dropping of all talk of opposing can
didates for the present state officers who
will stand for renomlnatlon. At the time
ot the recent convention and Immediately
following It there was considerable talk
of opposition to both Secretary of State W.
B. Martin and State Treasurer Qilbertson.
Although the state central committee will
not be reorganised until after the meeting
of the convention it is said R. H. Spence of
Mount Ayr, the present chairman, - will be
chosen to succeed himself and will direct
the campaign. Mr.' Spence has anticipated
the result and some, time ago put in order
a suite of rooms In the observatory build
ing. Nearly one whole floor of the build-'
Ing will be devoted to his use this year.
For several weeks a. portion, of the rooms
have . been Opened and much preliminary
work has been done. The actual work of
tbe campaign will not begin in, earnest,
however, before August 1.
Clear Lake Men ' Not "Present. '
The state executive council sat patiently
In the governor's private office this after
noon awaiting the arrival of a delegation
of Cerro Gordo - county people who had
been . called .to prove why or why not
Clear Lake, a prominent summer resort
In that county, should not be lowered, but
not a- soul appeared to argue the matter.
A short time ago the Board of Supervisors
of that county waa urged by a score of
farmers to request the drainage of the
lake, but equally strong; aseertlohs from
another faction . stayed proceedings, and
the hearing waa set for today. xSome of the
farmers claim that the lake has reached
such a high stage that It Is a menace to
farms. The townspeople of ' Clear ' Lake
say that It is Just high- enough .to make

. . Father and Son Insane).
A strange and sad case of insanity Is
reported from Marlon county, Iowa. Sheriff
Bybee of ' Knoxvllle paesed through the
city having In charge two insane persons
he was taking to Wyoming. The men were
father and son, Thomas. J. Reed and his
son, Delbert Reeo. Both went insane while
visiting relatives in Iowa. They lived In
Natrona county, Wyoming, On ' a" ranch,
and the son had been living a somewhat
solitary life as a sheep herder. It was re
ported that' the father had. shown signs
of- mental weakness before' coming to
Iowa to visit, but a few weeks ago the
son - became deranged over- religious mat
ters, and this faet preyed upon the mind
of the father, until both became utterly
Incapacitated. They ' were declared Insane
at one sitting of the Insanity commission
and were ordered deported to Wyoming,
their home. -

Richards of the general otf.ee looking over

tion to the leaders ot the tme, there were
about 1,100 people waiting to take their
turns at the registration desks.
Wet and steaming under the hot sun
those who had stood the night through In
tfco line sat on the ground and played cards
or ate the lunches which they purchased
from venders pausing up and down the line,
sang songs and aome even alept, thor
oughly exhausted.
. J. a Barnes of 66 West Sixty-eighth
street. New Tork City, was the first man
to be registered, having taken his position
at the door ot the hall at 4 o'clock Monday
afternoon. Barnes Is a traveling salesman
and came up from Omaha especially for
the registration.
Over at the Baptist church, where women
and old soldiers were registering, only a
corporal's guard of the men walled through
the night and. went on duty at sunrise.
The experiences they had during their time
ot service made - them more oblivious
to the storm of the night than
were the - younger generation at
the city hall. During - the night
th Old veterans sat around on logs which
were provided ' for that purpose, and
"fought their battle over again" swspping
experiences' ef the campaign In which they
had taken part and telling what they
were going to do wlth'the quarter seotlons
Which each expects to secure in the Rose
bud. The women began straggling around
about 4 o'clock this morning and were
placed Jn line with the oldsoldlers, who
gallantly gave their places to them. Miss
Jennie Conway of 719 South Thjrty-flret
tfeet, .Omaha, was the first to register at
this plaoe, but at 9 o'clock there were
about fifty women In line, and their ranks
were followed by about t50 veterans of the
civil war. Only a few Philippine veterans
were on duty.
"We'llclean out' this crowd like a whirl
wind." said Conimlssloner Richards. "Of
eonrse others will take their places as each
train arrives, but we hope to keep ahead
of the erowdj or, at least, to keep even.
I am more than well pleased at the good
arrangements for handling tha crowds, and
at the orderly condition of everything.
The opening is a success In every way."
An extra train, last night at midnight
