The Cass County Democrats face internal splits as the Waterloo convention and Des Moines commentary mirror national fissures. The Atlantic Evening News and local papers blast factionalism while Cummins’ VP talk fades. Gov. Crawford and J. S. Crawford loom in Iowa politics amid tariff, reciprocity, and party rivalries.
The Cass County Republican Convention reaffirms Chicago resolutions, endorses J. B. Rockafellow for District Judge, and appoints eleven delegates to the Judicial and State Conventions. Sherm F. Myers heads resolutions and committee actions as officers are confirmed and district representation is reorganized.
A contrast in party organization is noted after the two conventions held in this city. The Republicans acted promptly and in an orderly, businesslike manner to fulfill primary obligations. The Democrats, by contrast, appeared unsure of actions, adjourned without completing needed business, and faced uncertainty over their nominee. The piece labels the Democrats as mishandled and in disarray versus the Republicans’ disciplined approach.
The Des Moines Capital summarizes the Republican platform calling for a safely protective tariff, a permanent currency system, postal savings bank, revised Sherman anti-trust and interstate commerce laws, stock and bond regulation, and protections for workers. It supports farmer aid, civil rights for colored citizens, natural resource development, military efficiency, foreign commerce, and veterans' liberalities, with statehood for Arizona and New Mexico and Lincoln centennial observance.
