SHAW'S THIRD TERM.
tits Taken CUTE Seriously in Wash
ington.
SAY SHAW is CERTAIN TO ATTEMPT II
congressman in Washington from
Iowa Generally Believe That Gov
ernor Shaw Will Undoubtedly be a
candidate-Others are in the Race.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Among Iowa
men in Washington the report tnat
Governor Shaw is in the race for a
third nomination is taken quite SER
iously. The governor is looked upon
as certain to attempt to secure third
term as the chief executive of the
state. One gentleman who is on rath-
er intimate terms with every Iowa
congressman said to the Capital cor
respondent today: 'Mr. Shaw be-
lieves that Iowa stands an excellent
chance for securing first place on the
republican national ticket in 1904. He
does not believe that it will be posi-
BILE for Senator Allison to win in the
convention, The senator's chances
were best in 1892 and they faded COM
pletely in 1896, when Mckinley cap
tured the st. Louis convention. Among
the Iowa congressman the belief is al
most universal that Governor Shaw
regards himself as the logical candi-
date of the trans-Mississippi region.
He realizes, however, that the prefix
Eek" to his title would prove serious
drawback to his candidacy. Hence
his desire to remain at the head of
the state government until the nomi-
mating convention meets. Under the
circumstances the report that he is a
candidate to succeed himself is receiv-
ed with general credence here"
Govrnor Shaw is not the only repub-
lican who is laying pipe for the nation
al convention in 1904. Senator Fair
banks, of Indiana, is putting in con-
siderable amount of political lightning
l,Iitc "A hoc &c hic, T,n1i.
teal secretary Mr.. J. A. Matthews,
who was for many years the Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago
News and the indianapolis News. Mr..
Matthews is an excellent writer, who
has wide circle of political friends,
and he will doubtless be able to ma
terially advance the interests of the
tall gentleman from Indiana, who has
presidential aspirations sprouting all
over him.
Every one realizes that vice presi-
dent-elect, Teddy" Roosevelt, looks
upon himself as the only real candl-
date. But among the New York dele
cation there is a disposition to look
upon Governor Odell as dangerous
rival to the rough rider. Governor
Odell has started in to govern the
state of New York in the interest of
the people. If he keeps up the pace
which he has set for himself at the
start ii. will be impossible to defeat
him for reelection. With the pres
| tige of two victories in the Empire
state behind him, Mr.. Roosevelt will
cut but sorry figure as his antagon'
list, and if the powers that control the
political destinies of New York state
decide to send yseventy-six delegates
| there will be rs from New York in
19O4-pledged to Odell, Roosevelt
Fairbanks and Shaw will all find them
selves very far in the rear when the
first flag drops in the first presidential
race of the nineteenth century,

Mrs. J. Waldren, living at 1921 Ave
nue. A, have an unexpected addition
to their family. Late in the night as
they were going to bed there came a
knock at the front door. Opening
the door Mr.. Waldren discovered a
basket on the front porch. AS he
stopped to pick it up he heard the cry
of baby coming from the basket.
Fastening into the house with the
basket, he called his wife and together
they proceeded to investigate its con-
tents. Warmly wrapped in several
small blankets, lay little girl about
three weeks old. In the basket also
was small bundle of baby's clothing
and box of condensed milk. There
was nothing to indicate where the lit
tie waif came from. Mr.. and Mrs.
Waldren have no children of their
own, and decided to keep the little
stranger.
