DES MOINES, Ia., July 31. - Nearly 1,100 delegates attended the republican convention, practically full delegations representing every county. The only controversy was over the tariff and trust utterances of the platform, and that was settled in the committee on resolutions in favor of a reiteration of last year's utterances as contended for by Governor Cummins with an addition to the trust plank congratulating President Roosevelt upon the inauguration of judicial proceedings to enforce the anti-trust laws.
With the exception of the address of the temporary chairman the convention was devoid of oratory. No nominating speeches were made and the notable visitors, comprising the entire Iowa delegation in congress were not called upon.
Messrs. Martin, Gilbertson, Mullan and Ladd were renominated by acclamation. Judge Bishop, who is now on the supreme bench by appointment, and B. F. Carroll had no opposition. Five ballots were required to nominate a candidate for clerk of the supreme court. Six candidates were in the field, including C. T. Jones, the present incumbent. The first ballot resulted: John C. Crockett 236, Charles T. Jones 270, T. E. Bosquet, 87, M. A. Buchan 180, C. W. Neal 142, J. E. Wheelan 236. Mr. Crockett gained steadily and won on the fifth ballot.
E. A. Dawson was renominated for railroad commissioner on the second ballot, his competitors being W. S. Ketchum of Marshall county and W Blakemore of Taylor county.
W. W. Cornwall was nominated for supreme court reporter on the first ballot, receiving 641½ to 464½ for B I. Salinger, the present incumbent, and 127 for J. H. Williams of Story county.
