pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, July 24.-There is one point
in the matterSof Lacey's candidacy for
the senatorship which has not received
the attention that lit deserves. When he
became candidate for the first time for
congress the Sixth district was, to say
the least, doubtful. Weaver. White and
Cook had been elected by the demo-
Gratis, and the district had become to be
looked on as democratic. Since Lacey's
several times. has now become surely.
republican, and the question arises, can.
a new, untried man. however able az a
statesman or politician, be assured of
election? with complete union of,
democrats. populists. middle of the
readers, silver republicans and gold
democrats, the vote in this district
would be TOO close for, comfort, and it is
taking chances to drop the man who has
piloted the party to victory 50 many
times.
OF course every friend of Mai. Lacey
would have feeling of pride on his be-
coming United States senator. They
know him to be capable, and most Wor-
thy of such honor, and yet there is a
feeling, perhaps seltishiness, that the
district might be lost without his ener-
Egetic campaigning.
If Lacey can not carry the Sixth dis
ltrict no republican can carry 1t. The
1people of the district know him, know
his influence in congress, his care of the
people, his many and successful efforts
lin behalf of old soldiers when pushing
a claim for pension, and in many other
ways, always looking after the inter-
tests of his constituents, and prefer that
he remains where he is. for the present
lat least. If he We're elected or appoint
led to the senate, there can be no doubt
A that he would make his personality felt
in that exalted position. as he hasat the
: other end of the capital, and yet II
