Iowa People Elated at States PrOmi-
nenCe in Politics.

nence In Politics.
A dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa, last
night says: Governor Shaw was seen again
this evening with regard to his appoint
ment as Secretary Of the United States
Treasury. He declined to talk at length
about the matter merely reiterating that
the President had confidentially asked him
by wire If he would accept the position If it
should be rendered to him. He replied that
he would accept, but up to the present time
no formal tender Of the position has been
made by the President. However. from
the tone of the dispatch from Washington
he assumed the President will appoint him
and that to all intents and purposes the
matter has been fully settled.
The governors term as chief executive
of Iowa will not expire until January 16,
when Governor-elect Cummins will be in
augurated. The legislature will convene
January 49, and Governor Shaw will be very
busy in the interim with the preparation
pointment by the President shall be made,
Governor Shaw will hardly be able to take
UP the duties before January 20, and pos
sibly later.
The people of Iowa are greatly elated at
Governor Shaw's prospective entry into the
Presidents cabinet, but would regret very
much to have Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son retire in consequence, and no one would
regret this more than would Governor Shaw.
All Iowa people feel that Mr.. Wilson Is the
right man in the right place in this and
other administrations. With Allison as Sen
ate leader, Henderson as Speaker of the
House, and with the prospect now of two
members of the cabinet. the state is un-
doubtedly greatly honored and largely influ-
entail in national affairs.
