Ft. Dodge, Aug. 29.-The political
gathering here yesterday afternoon
was the most important one that has
occurred in the Tenth district since Mr.
Dolliver was first nominated for con-
gress at Webster City in 1883. 1t was
/ expected that the contest for the nomi-
nat ton OF successor to Mr.. Dollker
would be outlined in this conference
j and that politicians could tell after it
had been held something about what
4 the fight in the Tenth district would be-
/ To some extent this happened, but still
mot enough of the district leaders were
present to indicate With any certainty
how the counties Will line up, or. in
fact. who the candidates Will be-. 1t is
4 perfectly clear however. that Judge
u. p. Conner. of Denison; Harvey Ing
/ ham, of Aigona, and Senator Warren
/ Garst, of Coon Rapids. Carroll county,
! will be the leading candidates and there
! is very little room for doubt that one
of them will be nominated.

erner and the Judge were competitors
in the law practice in Denison. Mr.

Judge and for ngress in 1886 and 1855,
and when Mr.. Shaw became candi-
Idate for governor Judge Conner turned
