A Narrow Margin to Work On in Congress
The death of congressman Jaird tightens the Republican House majority, risking quorum for partisan business and delaying extra session plans to challenge contested Democratic seats. Delegates expect early election committee action, with Republicans prepared to seat incumbents, while potential Dakotan and Western reinforcements loom. The Democratic convention follows, nominating county treasurer and surveyor candidates, with Archie McIntyre favored, urging party loyalty at the polls. The piece also contrasts tariff stances between Town and Quay factions, noting Iowa Republicans push protection against trusts and conspiracy, complicating steel and other key tariffs.
