MATE FOR MEINLEY
Hon. Jno. F. Lacey Suggested
for Vice President.

The Des Moines Leader this morn
ing containg the following:
Another Iowan's name, according
to well authenticated reports is to be
presented to the photographers OF the
country in connection with the vice.
presidential nomination. This time 1t
Is none other than the Hon. John +.
Lacey, congressman from the Sixth
district. tits announced that the move
ment, which originated in Iowa, is to
be launched on the sea of national
politics In the course of three or four
days, and that it has promise of a
very ~hattering backing. Congressman
Lacey is recognized at the national
capital as one of the effective mem
bers from the west. He is an ex-
ceptionany well informed man on
public questions; indeed, many de-
clare that no member of the Iowa
delegation aside from Senator ALI
sonis so readily at home in any dis
cussion that may come up. He is a
student and a hard worker; a good
speaker and a ready debater. He has
had considerable experience as apre-
siding officer in the house; is popular
in Washington, and is poor enough
to be a desirable candidate, this hav-
ing been considered a qualification
by many of the participants in the
discussion of candidates heretofore
presented. Moreover, Major Lacey
has the great advantage of being a
veteran of the civil war, in which he
attained some distinction as a very
young and capable officer. Those
IoWans who have been taken into the
confidence of the Lacey boom pro-
motors are united in the opinion that
he would be on the whole a highly
acceptable candidate, and that If a
western man Is to be named it would
be difficult to do better from the
standpoint of politics."
