Des Aioines, July 18.-Governor Shaw
will not act hastily on the senatorial |
matter. When he does act it will be |
after having been fully advised and /
with definite plan in view. The gov
ernor might have been elected to the
senate himslf last January il he had
accepted the overtures of the Cummins
men, who certainly would have thrown
him their votes when they found that
they could not elect Cummins. But he
could not honorably accept their pro-
posals, because he had given his word
that he would not enter the contest.
Now the question is whether or not he
will be candidate. That is naturally
the question which he will desire 10 de-
termine first before he decides what to
do about appointing man to fill the
vacancy "A great many plans and
schemes are being proposed to the gov
ernor and it will take him some days
to arrive at conclusion satisfactory
even to himself His decision will,
| however, not be long put off.
The friends of Mr.. Cummins have
made 1t plain that they want an extra
session They believe they have more
strength with the members of the pres
/ ent legislature. who We're chosen at q
4 time when Cummins and Gear We're the
only candidates. than they would have
with the field open for others. In the
latter contingency a large part of MIR.
4 Cummins' present support would be
cut of Some of the governors friends
are inclined to think that he would
! stand fully as good show In the pres
Kent legislature as he would in any
other.
t State Treasurer Herriott is out in an,
interview strongly objecting to ar ex-
4 ira session because of the expense and
s because it would be unnecessary. Law,
& yers are not agreed as to the legal as.
Epect of the question. Some maintain
ttnar the constitution provides for ses-s
sion OF the legislature bienniaily and
THAT the members would have the right
IA to come back and hold a session in
4 January. 1902. without being called to-
4 gether by the governor. This question
will have to be decided before that
+ time, because a session is absolutely
necessary before 1903. The state gov
eminent and institutions cannot be
operated without it.
The specsx ion on the senatorship is
3 mere guess york upon the part Of ev-
cry one who INDUCES in it. There is
nothing tangible upon whichato base a
'Aprediction, because there has been no
time for consultation and the sudden
= ness with which the problem has arisen
makes ii necessary for some delay to
secure a complete knowledge Of the
situation.
I'VE should learn the facts before we
outline policy in regard to China"
said Governor Shaw. "Of course l be-
} iieve that we should take our place
with the powers ard hold up our end
5 in China along with them. We can no,
9 do anything less in justice TO Ameri-
r Leans and the American interests in
) China and the far east. ! believe We
s should wait to hear from Conger and
y We should send a force strong enough
: to get the facts and 10 find out wha,
. has become of Conger. but / believe ir

4 tain of what has been done. We do MOI
: positively know that there has beer

c truth new issues will arise and tha,
Will be plenty of time to meet them
