IT NAY BE PHILLIPS
ottumwa's Ex-Mayor, a Probable
Candidate,
NAY GET NOMINATION UNANIMOUSLY
Friends Pushing His Candidacy All
Over the State-Phillips Interview
ed--Refuses to Deny or Affirm His
Fashionable Present Situation.

tFrom Saturdays Dailyl
Indications point very strongly to
the fact that ex-Mayor Thomas j. Phil
lips of this city, will be the democrat.
ic nominee for governor of Iowa this
fall. Chairman Huffman, OF the demo-
cratic state central committee, is the
author of the Phillips movement, and
it begins to look as though he had done
his work we'll. An intimate friend of
Mayor Phillips said this morning that
he was a candidate and would get out
and work for the nomination. This
gentleman said he had assurances
from nearly all over the state that in
case Mayor Phillips should decide to
accept the nomination it would be ten
dered unanimously. He said that Mr..
Phillips was being put to he front by
the labor element of the democratic
party, who claim he would be the most
desirable man they could get in the
state. They point to his past exper-
fence with the miners, in whom he has
friends in all parts of the state, and
with whom he has always been on ex-
cellent terms.
Mr.. Phillips was interviewed by a
Courier representative this morning
and was asked whether or u not he
would be candidate or allow his
name to be used Mayor Phillips re
fuses to affirm or deny the fact that ne
is candidate, saying he had taken no
action as yet. He said it was too far
from the convention to make any state
ments either way on the matter. He
intimated, however, that if his friends
would ask him to become a candidate
he was willing to be sacrificed. What
action he would take on the matter,
however, he would not say.

his enlistment in the navy he has gone
through some thrilling experiences,
and has made an excellent record for

ing the terrible siege from June 20

ported here for several months that
Mr.. kehm had been killed. Fortunate
