Congress
Opened.

UpOuGu.
Last Monday the American
Congress opened with most all
the members present and an over
flowing crowd of visitors. This
session promises to be interesting
and lively, as there will be many
bills Of Importance introduced.
Among them are the reciprocity,
Nicaragua Canal, Ship Subsidy,
Babcock, Anti-Anarchist and a
bill to cut down the present rep
resentation of the south, in those
states where they have disfran-
chised the Negro. Already the
active Republicans have prepared
a resolution and are going to
make hard fight for its passage.
Representative Moody of Mas
sachusetts introduced a resolution
to determine whether Louisiana's s
representation should be reduced,
on account of the disfranchise-
ment Of portion of the vote of
the state. Mr.. Moody's action is
in line with the determined effort
OF a number of Republicans of
l. j..
prominence in the house to bring
the long agitation of the subject
of the misrepresentation of the
southern states to definite issue,
and if possible to secure action at
this session to remedy the evils
complained Of.
Louisiana has been selected as
the state against which the test
is to be made, for the reason the
delegation appearing is the first
congressional delegation to be
elected under the new disfran-
chisement laws and constitutions
of the southern states. 1t was at
first proposed to challenge the
Louisiana delegation at the bar
of the House when the members
appeared to be sworn in, and to
have them stand aside until the
subject was investigated. After
consideration, however, Mr..
Moody thought it better to reach
the question by a resolution call
ing for a committee of eleven
members to investigate the mat
ter an report it's findings and rec
on1mendation.
''This I believe to be the most
direct manner to reach the end in
view," said Mr.. Moody. ''The
house is the final judge of the
qualifications of its own members,
and there is no appeal from its
decision. Thatis an additional
reason for greater deliberation
and care in passing upon the
rights of members to their seats.
This is question that strikes at
the foundation of a republican
form of government. 1t is GER
tainfy worthy of as much con-
sideration as questions of for
eign policy and trade expansion" "
Several other members have
similar resolutions and bills ready,
and there is a strong feeling
among the more radical Republi-
can members in favor of reducing
the representation of southern
states which by constitutional
amendments have disfranchise-
Negro voters.
On account Of Mr.. Moody's
close relations with President
Roosevelt it has been thought
the President was supporting this
movement. AS matter of fact,
the President has not been con-
suited, but the question will be
laid before him in day or two.
Last winter Mr.. McKin1ey's in
f1uence prevented the forcing of
| the issue. The advocates of the
movement are now willing to
submit to the Judgment of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They believe he
will be with them.

Odebolt Chronicles: Many influential
men who supported Senator Gear for
reelection have come out for Cummins
for governor.
Winterset Madisonian: Hon. George
ID. Perkins, editor of the Sioux City
Journal, and for several years member
of congress from the Eleventh district,
will be a candidate before the republi-
can state convention for the nomination
for governor. A good one, certainly.
Audubon Republican: Senator w F..
Hartman. OF Franklin county. is am
nounced as candidate for governor
He Is said to be an able and clean man
a good speaker a lawyer and farmer
and safe man.
DEBORAH Republican,: There is gen
eral feeling that Mr.. Cummins would
dignity the Office and that IL he is de-
feated it must be by another man of
equal ability and strength of character.

Des Moines. bases his candidacy for the
goyernorship on the theory that the
people are always worthy of the conf
dence of Citizen" But the people are

made the announcement that he is a
candidate for governor. This action of
AIR. Cumnlns has been considered ever
since the Titus amendment was de-
clared Invalid by he supreme court, but
IT was only last Saturday that Mr..
SCummins consented To be candidate.
He is strong all over the state and we
believe will receive the nomination
without serious opposition. There is no
need to speak of MIR. Cummins fitness
for the office of governor. II goes with
out saying that his administration
would be honorable and business like.
OF Minister Conger the Burlington
Hawkeye says: There is no positive as
surance that he can be nominated If he
wants it, but it Is unquestionably true
that ne would make the strongest kind
of candidate in the now troubled
gubernatorial campaign In Iowa.

pace promises to be lively II is a little
to early to pick the winner, but popular
sentiment all over Iowa seems q turn
