ADVANTAGE ONLY TEMPORARY C. Ci. Saanders et Council Dion's Comes to Dei Moines to Plead Case for Atiro Once Slave f Ills Father. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 8. -(Special.) Anti Bryan men won at the meeting 01 the state central committee of the democratic party today and fixed the date of tjie two con ventions. The first democratic state con vention to select delegates to the national convention is fixed for Cedar Ha; ,iua March 26, with Claude It. Porter temporary chair man. The second convention Is fixed for Bloux City July i, with Representative Tim Clary of New Hampton as temporary chairman. A resolution of endorsement was telegraphed by the state central com mittee to Bryan. All members w?re pres ont except Sears of the Eluventh and Kelly of tho Sixth. Bryan men were fighting to keep both In Des Moines. Especially they wanted the first convention to bejield Here. The first convention will select delegates to the na tional convention. The Bryan men have already arranged to hold the annual Jef ferson day banquet In this city April 2 and had nearly completed arrangements to have Bryan as one of the chief speakers. They planned to hold the first state con vention tho day following and select the delegates to the national convention. With Bryan on the ground they felt sure that every delegate from Iowa would be a Bryan man. They still believe that Bryan will carry the state, but the action of the committee admittedly flust.rates them. The chief significance of the action of tha committee Is the fact that the anti Bryan men, who control, do not hesitate to makn an anti-Bryan move, though, of cours they argue that the move does not hurt Pryan and was not Intended for that purpose. Bryan men knew the commlttet was against them, but they had Telied cm what theyfaTlege Is an overwhelming sen timent In the state for Bryan to keep the committee In line. More than anything else, the action of the committee today forecasts a fight between the Bryan and anti-Bryan factions of the state. The rad icals have been passing the word around that the next state central 'committee Is going to be all "Bryan." A democratic legislator said In this city not two days ago that "Charlie Miller and his crowd are going to be beaten. The next central committee will be all radicals."
