THE IOWA CONGRESSMAN NOT YET AN AyowEp
CANDIDATE FOR THE NOMINATION.

Washington, May 30 (SpeciaD-For the last two
days there has been talk at the CAPITOL about
Representative Dolver a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for the Vice Presidency than
of any one else. The feeling is that he is young
and progressive man. OF expansive mind strong
character and considerable popularity and that as
a representative the ticket the great Central
West he will add strength it. The indorsement
given TO him by General Grosvenor has added TO
the talk since the Ohioan is regarded so generally
as the spokesman in the House of the President
The following may be accepted, as IL comes from
an Iowa source near to Mr.. Dolver as worthy of
credence: He is not yet ayowed candidate for
at present he has right to regard himself a
having been solicited to consider the question Of
the nomination by those competent to submit the
matter. In other words. while the gossip In his
favor is decidedly complimentary, II is without
any oh1cial sanction. and there is no absolute
knowledge that II means more than that he is the
choice of large number of his associates In public
life. For this mention and discussion of his
claims he is duly grateful. But Mr. Dolliyer is
not prepared. on the basis OF this commendaion to
plume himself on party favor. Others are dis
cussed In all sections Of the country. Iowa Re-
publicans here say that Governor Shaw If Mr.
Dolliver should evidently be the favoritA among
the leaders in other States by teh time the Con-
vention assemblies would not be a candidate for
the nomination at Philadelphia. The Iowa senti-
ment here pretty generally favors Dolver.
