REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL TICKET
MOST IMPORTANT MAN m IOWA

Just now the governor of Iowa is the
most Important functionary in the pub
lie eye. The senatorial bee that is
buzzing loudly in several bonnets is
presumed to be humming tune in his
z own ear. To be or not TO be- that is
the question that is agitating his mind.
II is a worthy ambition in any citizen
of our commonwealth and Governor
Shaw is worthy aspirant He would
serve the state With honor and ability:
but as a self-rsspeet citizen. keenly
alive to the necessity of acting clrcum-
specify in an important duty. and sen
sitive as is any other public man To
praise or censure where self-interest
may crop out. he is confronted With
possibilities of choosing one of several
paths-tksit OF naming temporary
successor 70 the late Senator Gear or
calling an extra session OF TIE leglsa-
ture or of ,esisning 10 alldN the leu
tenant governor TO appoint him 10 the
place. Probably the one having the
least danger of awakening a contest in
the party would be the Immediate APP
pointment Of an acceptable, expert
enced ard able public man. The alter
native of calling an extra session would
be more desirable 10 many, as it would
give all aspirants an equal chance be-
fore The legislature l. iSa ns,ts-
warthg fact that no on OF lcwa's pub
lie servants n.w looms above the oti:-
ers to such 4 degree as 70 make him q
shining senatorial mark on whom AL
could center their efforts. This is one
of the difficulties of the situation tsat
must be taken into account. 1t is one
also that would enable the governor @
select a temporary successor without
incurring general disapproval. Iii BE-
lieved the governor wiiltake broad
view of his duty. as he has hitherto in.
the past and will unite the knot in the
interest of the great Hawkeyes state.

and who have been brought on by the
latter. Sometimes these unlimited guests
are perfect strangers to the host or
hostess, while in other instances they
are personally distasteful to the master
or mistress of the house, and this being
the case their presence is nine times out
of ten unwelcome. AS already stated,
several great personagesin London have
ere this expressed their strong disap-
prevail of the practice by demanding the
Withdrawal of unasked guests, and it
may be doubted whether in view of the
fact that well-bred Americans in Lon
don are invariably described as "Gistin-

anything like the exception would have

he had still been an American.
