AMES DENIES THE "CHARGE
Massachusetts Coagrewmss Says He
Had Nothing to Do With
Tickets.
LOWELL. Mass., j June 8. Congressman
Butler Ames, who arrlvtd at his heme to
day from New York, gave out a statement
tonight regarding the charge made before
the republican committee at Chicago that
he was responi'ble for the use of alleged
forged tickets of admission to the Florida
state convention.
Congressman Apiea declared that he had
nothing whatever to do with the tickets,
either with receiving them or with their
distribution, and that the statement cred
ited to former United States District At
torney J. M. Stripling regarding the matter
Is "unqualifiedly not true."
The ststement of Congressmsn Ames,
said In part regarding the Florida conven
tion: "At a meeting of some of the regularly
elected white delegates, who did not believe
In federal control of elections, I had the
pleasure of being present. The question
arose as to how the delegates were to get
Into the convention and I think I remember
saying that as they had collected the cre
dentials, they would- have to Issue tickets,
and no one without a ticket could get tn.
My suggestion waa,' that If tickets were
necessary to admission to' the, convention
hall, then those who were entitled to ad
mission should procure them. .This proved
to be a correct thing, as the Taft manager
had arranged that no one without a ticket
should enter the halt
"I did not get the tickets nor do I know
who did. I heard afterward they were ob
tained at a printing office In St. Augustine.
I left for the north before the convention.
I was given to understand afterwards that
at thla convention the delegates were five
or six to one In favor of Foraker. v'
"I was then and have been since then, op
posed to Instructions of any kind for dele
gates to the national convention, having
at heart not a personal Interest for or
sgalnst Mr. Tsft, but for the good of the
party. This belief I share in common with
aome of the most prominent republican
leaders." .

CHANCE FOR FARMER BOYS
Agricultural Students to Bave Exhibit
at Iowa Fair.
FIGHT FOE SPEAKERSHIP BEGINS
Next General Assembly Will Not
Bo Mark Different from Last
One Tho Primary
Retarns.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. June . (8pecl.) One of
the prlnclpsl attractlvs exhibits at the State
fair next August will be an exhibit by the
State Agricultural college of Amea. The
state fair management hss turned over
the secretsry's building on the fair grounds
to the college for the exhibit. In this will
bs shown the work the college Is doing
In engineering and other work. In con
nection with ths exhibit there will prob
ably be an exhibit of the stock on the
state college farm. Including the horses
purchssed a year ago and which are to be
used In developing a new breed of draft
horses, the college working In harmony
with the United States Department of Agri
culture. The horses and stock will be kept
In the stock barns on the grounds.
The state board Is- now erecting and will
have completed for occupation by tha
time .the fair opens a fins new adminis
tration building. This stands Just west of
the old secretsry's building. " All tha old
office buildings which , stood along the
street Just west of the stock pavilion and
agricultural hall have been torn out. The
open place back of them, which will be
Just south of the new administration build
ing. Is to be transformed Into a plata ap
propriately decorated with flowers and
shrubs.
E. B. Cimljotta of Mason City wilt have
at the state fair as one of the night at
tractions In the stock pavilion thla year
two herds of circus horses. One of the
herds ts all white In color and the other
Is cream colored, with white mane and
talis. The horses are bred especially for
trained circus horses. The entire herd Is
expected to make an attractive feature of
the horse show attraction. '
Flcht for Speakership On.
The' fight for speaker of the next house
of representatives of the Iowa general as
sembly Is en. In fact. It waa on In a gen
eral way when the last general assembly
adjourned. Since the primary election of
Tuesday It has been given a new Impetus
for the candidates for speaker ' now have
before them the party nominees.
There Is every Indication that the com
plexion of the next general assembly of
Iowa will not be materially different from
what It was at the last session. The can
didates In the Calhoun and Jefferson dis
tricts are progressives this year' where they
were standpatters before. This would give
the progressives an Increase of two In
the republican caucus, but there are other
contlngenclea that are likely to cut thla
down. For Instance, In the Marlon county
district a democrat is likely this year to
succeed Teter, a progressive. On the whole
the democrats do not stand any show of
making appreciable gains in either house
or senate at the election In November for
tho reason that- ths standpatters wartt a
republican, legislature to re-elect Allison
and the Cummins men want a republican
legislature to ho.on hand to elect Cum
mins as Alllaon's successor In case of
vacancy. " . '' " ' '
There are Indications now that the
speakership fight. In the house will be a
three-eomerod -affair, with White of Story
and Lee of Emmet as the progressive
candidates and .Harding of Woodbury as
the standpat candidate Ths probabilities
are that Leo and White will get together
and that the strongest with the progres
sives will be selected. If Teter wins out
In Marlon county he will be a progressive
candidate also. There Is no surety that
the democrats, will select one of their num
ber for the empty honor of speaker, whers
there Is no hope of his selection.
Many Political Conventions.
Four political conventions will be going
on In every county In the state of Iowa on
June 20. This Is according to the primary
election law. The law provides that each
party shall on that day meet In county
convention to fill, siteh vacancies on the
ticket as the prims rv haa failed to fill and
adopt any platform and resolutions desired
and select delegates to the state conven
tion. The results of these county 'conven
tions will determine who controls the next
state conventions. The democrats meet- in
state convention In Sioux City and the re
publicans In Waterloo the week following. '
Verner to Indianapolis.
John Vener of Charltan, la., a member
of the Board of Examiners of State Mine
Inspectors, will attend the general confer
ence of mine Inapectors of the United States
In the hall of the house of representatives
at Indianapolis on June

The primary election returns are not all
in or all candldatea and ths full meaning
of ths vote cannot yet be told. It la abund
antly apparent now, however, that Gov
ernor Cummins wss defeated in his own
friendly territory. Ths Tenth and Eleventh
districts and many counties In ths other
northern congiesslonal districts did pot give
the majorities that had been expected of
them. Furthermore, the pro-primary claims
of the Allison men were born out almost
rerfectly. The last returns, which ars prsc-

The total votes for senator and governor

1770, while that for governor was only 151,-

that many voters voted only for United
States senator and paid no attention to the
rest of the ticket, there being 46,867 votes
cast for senator more than were cast for
