To day Its champions aic In the field, waving ' Ita banners and rallying their shattered columns for a freh attack. " It Is ufeles.H to ciisguiwe thHt which Is all too apparent, that Iowa republicans nre for the first time in their history rent with a si-rloiia factional quarrel. It Is not possi ble and It would not be seemly to discuss how the merits of that controversy. But at leant all can agree that it Is unfortu nate and that every effort should be made to Ir-al the breach and avert disaster. We should remember that while there are In dividuals whose passions are so aroused that even open conflict- and dismember ment might be Welcome, they are but In dividual the great body of republicans which sent us here does not desire, such .Calamities. We should remember that the treat party of the nation of which we torn! so conspicuous a part will look upon och folly with amusement and pain, for Jt will realize that not only would we drply Inlure, perhaps mortally wound our.

The committee on resolutions submitted (he following platform, which It was stated they had unanlrmaialy agreed to: The republicans of Iowa In convention assembled declare: We find abundant cause for rejoicing in conditions prevailing. The country as a whole Is unceasingly pros perous and our state Is experiencing the climax of protection and prosperity. We are rightly proud of the history of our parly, which for sd many years has de termined the policies and directed the ad ministration of our public affairs. We commend the inspiring character. Impor tant achievements and undaunted leader ship of Theodore Roosevelt. It Is with ex ceeding pride that we contemplate the con fidence reposfd In him by the people of our country and the admiration which he com mands from the whole world. Iowa rejoices In tne prominence and In fluence of Its representatives In the cabl net and lit congress. They have discharged the duties of public station with honor and high credit to themselves, the state and nation, and deserve the esteem and af fection of the people whom they have so faithfully served. Bouquet for Congressmen. We approve most heartily the work of the Iowa delegation In the recent session. It Is most gratifying to know that their Influence was exerted in behalf of legis lation which will protect the health of our people and maintain equity of opportunity upon our commercial highways.! The courageous lead- ishlp and practical administration of Governor Cummins mer its our unqualified approval and we appre ciate the honor conferred upon our party by him and other state officials who have flven exceptional service to our people, n all the department-of the state gov-' ernment the highest degree of efficiency has prevailed and fidelity to public service le everywhere manlfat. It (a gratifying to know that with a tax levy for state pur poses by no meana burdensome and with generous support to all public obligations the state Is free from debt and with ample funds for current needs. The republican party has always stood for the enlarged participation of the in dividual voter In public affairs. To this end we pledge ourselves and our party In this state to the enactment of a wise and Ju dicious primary election law which will provide for the nomination by direct vote of all candidates for office to be filled at the general election and an expression of party preference In the aelctlon of United States senators. , We are unalterably opposed to the dom ination of corporate Influences In public affairs We favor the enactment of strin gent statutes, to purge the politics of our state and nation from the corrupting In fluences of corporate power, and we pledge ourselves to tha enactment of such laws as will render it unprofitable and unpopmar for corporatlona to engage In polltlca or In any wav contribute to political campaigns, v,,. .kniichm.ni of the free Dans on rail ways Is a most Important step in curbing the Influence of corporations In political affairs and we commend the republican legislature which hae enacted a law to this end. Tariff BevUlon Plank. We are uncompromisingly In favor of the American system of protection. Duties on fotclun imports should not be levied for revenue oniv, but should be so adjusted as to promote our do.nestio Interests, en large our foreign markets, secure remuner tlve prices for the products of our fac tories and farms and maintain a superior acale of wages and aiantlaid of living for Ann riian labor. Wipe and unselfish tariff laws maintained In the interest of the general welfare, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly lre eesen Ual to our commercial and Induatrlal pros perity. We believe that all Inequulltlea In the tariff Fohedule which Inevitably arise from chnnKlng Industrial and commercial conditions should be adjusted from time to tunc, and oomlepinlng without reserve all 'assaults upon the protective system, we favor such reasonable and timely changes aa will keep the tariff In harmony with our Industrial and commercial progress.

RUMOR OF SURRENDER (Continued from First Page.) leader of the constitutional 'demotrats. Is confirmed. It turns out that he was as sassinated at his country' house near Terl klo, Finland, by men In the 'pay of the black hundred organization. ' M.

HI -daihghter was -wounded. In the hand. The" "rnifderers escaped.' A remarkable fact Is that, three hours prior to the 'murder.' a telephone message was received at a newspaper office from Mos cow asking for news of Mr. Herzenateln and saying It was reported In Moscow that he had "been assassinated. M. Herzenstein was of Jewish descent and very wealthy." His attack's on the minister of finance In the lower house of Parliament attracted widespread attention. He supported the constitutional scheme' for land expropriation. His family had renounced the Jewish faith and become orthodox Russians sev eral generations ago. He occupied a prominent place In Moscow society and was a popular Idol among the peasants. Excitement mi Capital. t:2S p. m. The greatest excitement pre vails here as the result of the startling news from Bveaborg and there Is the deep est apprehension regarding the situation at Cronstadt. as there la little doubt that the rising of the garrison of the Oibraltar of the Baltic wan a premature attempt to ex ecute a widespread military conspiracy which involved the seizing of the fortresses of Sveaborg, Cronstadt and Sevastopol ae basis for the revolting Black sea and Baltic fleets. Both telegraph and telephone com munication with Cronstadt were cut dur ing the night, but no sound of firing has yet been heard. Although It Is learned that a summons to revolt was Issued there, the chief joint now in doubt is whether the main prt of the Baltlo fleet, consisting of a battleship and three cruisers, which were hurriedly sent from Reval to Helsingfors upon re ceipt of the news of the mutiny at Svea borg, has Joined In the rebellion. Confusing- Reports. The squadron Is understood to be under the personal command of Grand Duke Alexander Mlchaclovttch. brother-in-law of Emperor Nicholas. A telegram claiming to be from the commander of the fortress has been received here but Its meaning is. not clear. The dispatch eays: The entire crews of four warships have mutlned. Other dispatches mention the crews of the torpedo boat destroyer and other ships on the spot aa revolting, while another dis patch says: For a time, with a portion of the crews locked below le-ka the li.yal members of the crew tired upon the mutineers. If the Reval squadron Joined the mu tineers there Is little hope of regaining possession of 8veaborg fortress where It is claimed aix companies of loyal troops are holding out on Commander Island agalnat the mutineers on Michaeleviska, Artillery, Engineer and other Islands composing the group on which the fortress Is built. The commander of the artllery, General Aggleff, was a prisoner during the night. "The Cossacks and troops ashore at Hel singfors have remained In entire posses sion of Skatudden Island.

Installing themselves In complete control of Jhe city and placing their sentinels be fore the post, telegraph and other govern ment buildings. The revolutionists are wildly Jubilant. Although the mutiny at Sveaborg occurred unexpectedly they Instantly decided that they must take advantage of It and try to precipitate the general engagement be tween the government and the people for which they have been preparing. They ex press confidence that the supporters of the government will break where they are least expected and that the government will find when the test time comes the army divided against Itself and that units sup posed to be loyal will fight on the aide of the people.
