Algona, Aug %. Now that Dolliver
has been appointed to the United States
senate, there is considerable discussion
as to candidates to succeed him in con-
gress 1t is probable Kossuth county
will present Harvey Ingham as its cam
didate. The Algona Republican, in
forecasting Delivers appointment to
the senate, had the following to cay
about his successor in the house:
Politicians in this section OF Iowa
have been sure Of Delivers appoint
ment as senator for week and have
been governing themselves accordingly,
and when they realize that Dolliver.
must soon give way to a new congress-
man the question who that favorite son
| is to be assumes to them at once an in
terest and Importance not allowed for
the time being to any other. It has
now been twelve years since there was
any counting Of votes in Tenth district
republican congressional conventions,
and as consequence the most inter-
Testing politics has been out of the ques-
/ ton. Politicians are referring back in
memory to conditions once obtaining,
but very many former belligerents are
hoping they will not come again. In
this county any inclination TO boy poli-
tics is likely to be suppressed.
The man who succeeds Dolliver In
4 the house of Representatives will neces-
sarily have all eyes turned upon him
When he takes his seat. He will not
be so much the member from the Tenth
5tdistrict as the man who occupies Do1li-
Iiver's old seat. He will have a hard
time in any event, because all the COM
tparisons Will be with Dolliver, espe-
lcially when he arises to address the
house or appears on the stump.
kossuth is one of the strong republi-
can counties in the Tenth district and
is entitled to and should present can
4 didate. and it Is certain will do SO.
Candidates of ability in other coun-
4 ties will appear in considerable num-
bsrs, aud thereSis no apparent advan-

Il Stevens OF Boone, Judge Connor OF

Iof local candidates for the succession,

] canyassed Mr.. Clarke. however, the
urged by a large contingent of devoted
friends. has decided to keep out of the
lcanvass. Mr.. Inghana is accordingly tc
be heartily supported by kossuth coun-

d for the position. He is man Of fine

tiNe speaker. He would make a popular
campaign that would inspire enthusi-
