SUCCESSOR TO SENATOR GEAR.
Subject That Is Engaging the Attention OF
Iowa Politicians.


Des Moines, Ia, July 1S.-The ef-
feet of Senator Gears death upon the
political situation and the probable ac-
ton of Governor Shaw in the matter
OF n successor are the chief political
topics of the hour. Governor Shaw has
not yet returned from Colorado. which
fact gives freedom in the matter of
speculation. The belief is general that
the appointment of Il successor to Sen
ator Gear will mark turn in the
political affairs OF the state and the
election by the Legislature eclipse in
interest the senatorial contest of last
winter
This, will be true unless Governor
Shaw, who is himself a candidate for
senatorial honors, shall bury his own
ambitions and aspirations in the inter-
est of party harmony, which is hard
ly to be expected. 1t is believed that
he will appoint no man without an un-
derstanding that the appointee shall
get out of the way when the time
comes for the legislature TO elect n
United States senator. Politicians will
be disappointed if, when the governor
takes action, it is not with his own
advancement toward the senatOrship
in view.
