The Democratic Party of Iowa met in Des Moines to nominate candidates for the upcoming elections. The convention voiced full support for President Johnson and his policies and called especially for the immediate admission to Congress of representatives of the former Confederate states. The convention, interestingly, decided to adopt all the candidates that the "Conservative Republicans" had nominated two weeks before, with the exception of two minor posts. (By John Osborne)
