Des Moines Letter Highlights One-Third County Contests
The Des Moines letter reports Democrats lack opposition in twenty-three counties for House members and twelve counties for state senators, leaving over a third of Iowa counties without a lower house contest. It notes missed nomination filings by Democrats in several senatorial districts and counties, while Republicans also failed to file in some districts. The piece mentions freight reduction data and a Fire Marshall report on mutual insurers, plus political maneuvering around delegate divisions and endorsements.
