Des Moines, June 12.-The ambition
politicians of the Tenth district, and
some outside the district, are trying to
figure out what would happen If Con-
gresham Dolliver should be nominated
for vice president. Some of the news
papers have been saying that 1t would
precipitate a big fight and that the
convention to nominate Dolliyer's sue
essor would be one of the hottest in the
history of the state because there are
so many who would like to have Mr..
Delivers seat in congress. The ambi-
| ltious ones have been waiting for many
years for a chance and Dolliver's re-
tirement would open up the field for all
of them, it appears. The fact is, how
lever, that there would be no convention
i at all to nominate a candidate for con-
|gress in case Mr.. Dolliver Should be
Nominated for vice president. The con-
4 vention at Algona on the 8th of May
(which nominated Mn Dolliver for a
4 seventh term in congress provided, as
required by law, that the congressional
1 district committee should fill his place
on the ticket, IL, for any reason, it
should become vacant. This was done
4 upon the suggestion of Al Adams of
4 Humboldt, who was chairman of the
! convention. 1t was done merely as
matter of form, because the law re-
s|quires that convention shall make
i some provision for filling vacancies on
the ticket. OF course no one supposed
i that there would be any vacancy. The
members of the committee named in the
4 Iconvention are:
Roone-A. j. Barclay, Boone.
A Calhoun-F. C. Malloy. Jolley.
q Carroli-H. w. Macomber Carroll.
Il Crawford-C. F. Keuhnle. Denison.
Il E,mmet-M. X. Whelan, Estherville.
!. Green-Paul E.. Stillman. Jefferson.
4 Hamilton-J. L. Kamrar. Webster

Z Hancock. B. Rogers, Britt.
L Humboldt-R. j. Johnston. Humboldt.
Kossuth-George W. Hanna, Lu

, burg.
Il Pocahontas-Ward Ferguson. Rolfe.

Dodge. s If
winnebag go-G. S. Gilbertson, Forest
& City.
No one can tell what this committee
i would do If confronted with the respon-
y sibility of naming. a candidate for con-
gress from the Tenth district. Most of
& these men are close friencs of Mr.. Dol-
s liver. but some OF them are quite inde-
,sIpendent of him and his Interests and
. would be inclined to have notions Of
their own AS the probability of Mr..
: Delivers elevation to the vice presi-
dency continues. politicians will more
1 closely study the makeup of this COM
:. imittee. Possibly the committee might
not want to shoulder the job of naming
la congressman and might therefore call
a convention for the purpose.
. Col. G. u. Godfrey of Des Mo:nes has
!. Icalled a meeting of the Shiloh monu-
ment commission at Davenport during
n the meeting Of the Grand Army of the
!" Republic next week. The probability is
that Col. William L. Shaw of Anamosa
will be made chairman OF the commits
!. sion if he is physically able TO act. Col
: Shaw has been in the hospital al Iowa
. city for some time undergoing treat
! ment. but is understood to be on the
/ road to recovery. Samuel Mahon of OF
: sion and j. b. Morrison of E't. Madison
was appointed to take his place.
