Partial pages of The Des Moines Daily Capital
The Des Moines Daily Capital reports on the Polk County Republican convention in Iowa on Saturday. After reports on corruption in the vote counting process in favor of S. F. Prouty, John A. T. Hull was given the nomination for the House of Representatives. In addition to nominating Hull, the convention named delegates to the state convention and issued a resolution calling for a reform of the primary voting process, expressing support for President Roosevelt’s renomination, and commitment to the Republican platform. A second article contains an allegory about a young politician who lost a race and learned that he should not “squeal.”
