WILL Be A WARM CONTEST
Iowa Statesmen Very Much Interested in
the Senatorial oahpaigm
NUMEROUS CANDIDATES. IN THE FIELD
Republicans OF the state Anxious to Know
Why Democratic Counties Have
Been Given Preference
in the Past.


DEs MONIES, Nov. 20,-,ISpecial Telegram
to The BEE, The contest for the United
States senatorship TO Succeed Senator vii
son promises to be one of the liveliest that
has taken place since the one that resulted
in the choice of Senator Allison over twenty
years ago. While Ex-Governor Gear has
been conceded to be the strongest candidate
so far, with the possible exception of Con-
gresham Hepburn, there is n disposition
among all other candidates and their friends
TO combine against him on account of his
locality. They say there is no reason why
all the United States senators to represent a
republican state should come from strong
democratic counties along the Mississippi
river,
The various candidates are already cstab-
fishing headquarters here. ana the fight
will be warm, If not bitter, from now on.
The advent of Congressman Perkins as a
candidate from northwestern Iowa com.
plicates matters somewhat, and makes it
more difficult to forecast the ultimate result.
Friends of Hon. A, b. Cummlns think they
see in the combination against Gear n good
chance for their candidate TO get in. The
same influences that are at work against
Gear will also have an Indirect bearing
against Congressman Lacy. Hepburn's
candidacy also precludes the probability of
n successful contest by Attorney General
Stone, both coming from the same portion of
the state. while the claims of northwestern
Iowa will make Congressman Perkins a
formidable contes can't.

CLAIMS HOLMES WAS NOT HIRED.

Suit In Which the Ex-City Attorney Sues
the City for $4,000.
The suit of George A. Holmes against the
city was placed upon trial yesterday after
noon in the district court. Holmes, who was
formerly city attorney and appeared for the
city in three of the cases IN which suit was
brought against the city by private indi-
viduals for the purpose of regaining posses
sion of chunks of Paramount park, is suing
for $1,000 attorney fees in the three cases.
Nothing had been heard OF Holmes claim
for several years until last spring, when the
sum of $40, 600 was awarded to two other at
torneys who had represented the city
in certain park litigation. Holmes had
up to that time received about 5000, and he
Immediately awoke to the situation with
such a vengeance that the suit now pending
was started. The $1,000 Is merely for the
time during which he claims to have been
employed by the city after his term of Office
as city attorney had expired.
The defense of the city Is that the claim is
eXorbitant for the work that was actually
done, and that Holmes, moreover, was never
employed by the city in the cases. City
Attorney Hazelton is using up a good deal of
the gray matter in his brain in the effort to
discover a lawyer whom he can call in to
swear that 81, 600 is an eXorbitant charge.
If an arrangement could have been made
between the attorneys by which the case
should be tried to the court, however, a diff
ferent result might have been reached. Last
Saturday Judge Smith heard the testimony
Of three different lawyers as to the reason
ableness of the charge of 81, 500 made by Ger.
tain attorneys of this city in Il divorce case,
All three testified that 81 500 looked all
right to them, but in spite of that testimony
Judge Smith looked back at the time when
he was conducting law suits and gave the
attorneys a judgment for $500. 1t is re-
ported hat Holmes attorneys in the present
instance would have been willing to leave
the case to Judge Smiths decision, but the
city attorney preferred to 20 before a jury.

somewhat, there being marks of two feet
