Des Moines, Aug. 14.-Congressman
j. A. L. Hull returned to Iowa today
any stir in the contest for the Gear
senatorial succession. The reason has
not been made known. His name has
been repeatedly mentioned. Politicians
always include it in the list of those
talked Of. Hull has said nothing.
Politicians regard him as the shrewd
est politician in Iowa, barring Allison.
Informed men say he will have to show
his ability to control the Seventh dis
trict in the next legislative fight over
senator or he can't get it, How he can
do this is a mystery. There is no ques-
ton but what he can control the dis
trict in district politics where he makes
an issue of his own and opposition
strength. But the legislators from this
district are already elected. All of
them but Tom Anderson, of Warren
county, are for Cummins, or have been
for him Anderson objected because
he hates liquor and he blames Cumrnins
for the saloons return. Carr, IN this
county. has been .Cu.nmins man only.
Stewart, the other representative, Is
brother-in-iaw OF Dick Clarkson. What
Glarkscn would do is a matter of spec
iulation, il it came to a show dpHfn be-
