Ottunnwa for Gear.
A. w. BUCHANAN HOME.
Wapello County Legislator on the Stu
alton at Des nl0ines.
[From fridays Daily.1

Hon. A. w. Buchanan, representative
from Wapello county, is home from
Dee Moines where he has been for the
past few days. He will probably re-
main until after the holidays although
he may return before that. In speak
ing of the general outlook Mr.. Buchan-
an said today that both the Gear and
Cummins senatorial forces are thor
oughly organized, and while the lat
ter are making some strong preten-
tions yet there is no doubt but that
"Old Business" will be returned to the
senate.
The speakership contest between DR..
county, of the Gear forces, and Attor-
ney Eaton, of the Cummins- Eat ton
combination has developed into most
cations are now well lined up and
ready for the fray. Mr.. Buchanan
said he met and conversed with NUM-
Der of the representatives while in the
capital city, and the prevailing opinion
is, he said, in favor of Bowen. Both
Bowen and Eaton are from the Fourth
district, but Mr.. Buchanan said from
what he could ascertain the former
votes from that district. In several
districts he said Bowen will get a solid
vote and claims votes in every district,
which is more than can be said for the
other side, as ii is known almos1 to a
certainty, that the way the matter
stands at present there are certain dis
tricts which will not give Eaton sim
gle vote. The Gear managers are
ls.l. irY,it, e., VI y
on. This" Mr.. Buchanan said "may
prove TO be trifie too steep, but in my
opinion it will, not be below fifty"
Mr.. Buchanan said he was an admir-
err of Mr.. Bowen. He is man about
SO years old, physician and SUR
geon and possessed of very great abil-
ity necessary for the position as speak
er of the house. He was member of
the twenty-siNth and twenty-seventh
general assemblies aud chairman OF
one of the important committees. He
is very calm and deliberate in his man
ner, never losing his head at critical
moment. He is perfectly honest, and
straightforward, governed solely by his
convictions as to duty, and if elected
10 the speakership will make most
eScellent man in the place.
In regard 10 Mr.. Eaton, Mr.. Buchan-
an said: He is man whom 1 have
never met, but nave understood that he
is a gentleman of education and ability.
This contest for the speakership in
which the above men are now figuring
so conspicuously would never have
|come up if the Cummins faction had
not associated it with the senatorial
fight" said Mr.. Buchanan. '.At first
it was not the intention of the Gear
constituents to make any fight on the
speakership, until we were. practically
forced into it. The aggression was
made by Cummins and from the pres
ent indications he has hopeless prop
osition. 1t is quite proba BILE that some
of the Gear men would have voted fol-
Eaton had the lines not been drawn
50 closely. but as it is now, they will
support Bowen.

QUEER CASE OF SUICIDE.
A Chicago Man BECOMES Dcspondent

Memphis. Tenn, Dec. 22-(By Assoc

self in 4 hotel here this morning.
Sanders is the father of A. ii. San

they We're prepared and circulated by
Mr.. Cummins' supporters and We're
sanctioned BY his management. Per-
sonally did not aspire to the senator
ship, but accepted the nomination with
the hope that I would be able to cast
the vote of Dubuque county in the
Twenty-ninth general assembly in 1902
for my distinguished fellow townsman,
Senator William B. Allison. My friends
at Dubuque regard this prearranged
disloyalty to the republican party on
the part of Mr.. Cummins' supporters as
subversive of all the principles of gov
eminent by the people,"
The reporter inquired further, ssHaye
you copies of the circulars which were
sent to the county before election,
urging voters to unite for your de-
feat?"
Eyes, sir, have in my possession
the original circulars, many of which
came to my friends and were by them
handed to ME on my return
Have you any objections to our pub
fishing the circulars?'
None in the least, for I think that
every republican should know by what
means Mr.. Cummins and his support
ers attempted to encompass the defeat
of all republican candidates for the leg
islature in doubtful counties who were
recognized as anti-Cummins men. and
/ am at a loss to understand why the
republicans of Iowa should seriously
consider sending a man who would
either employ or profit by such political
methods to represent one of the most
loyal republican states OF the union in
the United States senate, and especial
ly when the defeat of candidates for
the state senate would be direct as
sault upon the interests of Senator Al
lison i'll his canvass for return to the
senate in 1902. I can draw no other
conclusion that it was when in years
gone by he differed with his party and
arrayed himself upon the stump in OPP
position to its principles and its can
didates."
''Wonld you be willing TO furnish
us those circulars for publication,
it we desire to present them to the
public?"
Il certainly would. as I believe the
republicans of the state are entitled to
an opportunity TO peruse Them

from those entertained by those other
Republicans, Mr.. Hanna,
of Ohio and Mr.. Allison, of Iowa. The
tone of his observations indicates that
he has once more had his ear to the
ground and made a fresh diagnosis of
the conditions of the hearts of the
people.
Mr.. Allison IL will be remembered,
after profound and arduous study of
the subject, reached the conclusion that
the trust question was a myth, because
his Investigations had demonstrated be-
yond any doubt that there were no such
things as trusts. They were mere
specters, evoked by the Democrats to
frighten voters. Mr.. Hanna, on the
other hand, discovered lots of trusts,
and declared that they were mighty
good things. The country, he affirmed,
needed more rather than fewer of them
for a full enjoyment of the era of
prosperity inaugurated jointly by him
self and Mr.. Mckinley on the 4th day Of
March, 1897.
The president does not agree either
with Mr.. Allison or with Mr.. Hanna He
finds that trusts exist and that they
seek to stifie trade competition, limit
production and determine the prices of
products. Unlike Mr.. Hanna, he is of
the opinion that they are not conducive
to general happiness, much less to
prosperity. "They are obnoxious" he
declares, mot only to the common law,
but to the public welfare. There must
be a remedy for the evils involved in
such organizations. What
ever power the congress possesses over
this important subject should promptly
be ascertained and exercised"
This is plain, straightforward talk,
and it does the president credit whether
his attitude is influenced by political
considerations or by non-partisan
craftsmanship. There is but one criti-
cism to be made upon it. Granting,
as the president implies, that there is
need for further legislation to control
the trusts, the need is all the greater
that legislation already enacted and
available should be enforced instead of
ignored. Denunciations of trusts do not
come with very good grace from an
administration which has done absolu-
tely nothing to enforce the Shermanla law.
1t may be admitted that that statute
does not cover the whole field. But
why should it not be applied to cases
which it does fit? More than that, the
trusts are obnoxious to the common
law" Why, then, may not his at
| torney general proceed under the COM
mon law instead Of waiting for special
Legislation which will be applicable to
every conceivable case? Why not use
the instruments at hand pending the
manufacture of others?
This is a point to which the president
may well direct the attention of Mr.
Griggs. Let him instruct that officer tc
utilize the Sherman act and the common
law until congress enacts that legisla-
ton which is so earnestly recommended
| In the meantime, it is pleasant to know
that Mr.. Mckinley is alive to the ex.
istence of the trust evil, though he Is
rather negligent of the partial remedy
ready at his hand.

Hanna will not agree to the nomination
Of Bushnell for anything.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-12-12

Naturally there is much gossip in
Washington about Governor Nash's
appointments. Chairman Dick might
have great influence with Nash but
will not under any circumstances en-
dorse candidates for places. This is
positive and candidates seeking the
Dick influence might as well save rail-
road fare and postage. On the other
hand Governor Nash will undoubtedly
confer with Dick and ask his advice.
That is different. 1t is well known here
that julius Whiting of Canton and Geo.
Hay, of Coshocton, want places on the
penitentiary board They were thrown
out by Bushnell and want vindica-
tion-also the job and the $1,000 a year
that goes with 1t. They will not reach.
Whiting was outspoken during the cam
paign in abusing Bushnell and Nash
did not approve of abuse in the
midst of a campaign where votes were
needed.
If eastern Ohio is given place on
the prison board ex-senator Charles M.
Hogg, of Cadiz, will be the man. He is
man of wonderfully good business
ability and Governor Nash wants up
to-date business methods in the man
agement of the penitentiary. Hogg did
| a. good deal for the administration in
eastern Ohio politics this year, notably
in the nomination of Hammiller over
Rutan, and both Nash and Hanna will
remember 1t.

There is talk in Washington of nomi-
mating Gen. j. Warren Keifer, of
Springfield, for secretary of state next
year If he will accept. 1t is urged that
some good soldier ought to head the
ticket. Kiefer had a remarkably good
record in the rebellion and was major
general in the war with Spain. He
Is fighter in politics and II Is argued
that he would make a great candidate
next fall when Ohio is absolutely needed
to give Mckinley a second term. There
has also been talk that Keifer may
prefer to run for congress again in
the Springfield district. Weaver is a
very popular man and was nearly de-
feated last year in a district usually
good for 1000 majority. 1t is evident
that Weaver cannot hope for third
term nor can he pick his successor.
Kiefer had several terms here and was
speaker-the only speaker Of congress
ever elected from Ohio. He was not
much of speaker but made a good
member and he would enjoy another
term as sort Of vindication. OF course
II Governor Bushnell should decide tc
seek little vindication also by running
for congress there would be a high old
time in the Weaver district and the
nomination would go out of Clarke
county. perhaps to Gen. VIM. p. Orr
but who remains in high standing with
the Mckinley administration.
Senator Hanna will probably havs
something TO say about the Weaver
district, and 1t Is safe to say thai
