Mayor Phillips feels that he has
been treated outrageously by the
ring" and he also feels that he owes
them nothing. He contributed to a
legitimate campaign fund in no par
simonious manner on former elections
and has at all times stood ready to give
of his means and lend his personal eff
forts towards the success of the demo-
cratic party heretofore. In exchange
for this, in the face of the fact that he
said he wanted the nomination and
the request had been tacitly granted
up until the last moment, the ring
seized chance to defeat him and did
it. Now they ask the mayor to "be a
good fellow" and not let little thing
like that interfere with party loyalty.
The mayor is made out of different
stuff and his friends are too.

The democratic machine with the
Hon. Thos. Keefe at the head is now
fully in the saddle and democrats who
do not bow the knee to the dictator of
democratic policies in this city, may
just as well move out of town so far
as any recognition from democratic
sources is concerned. The politician
or the voter who does not stand solid
with the alderman from the First ward
has no show. This condition of af-
fairs will be greatly increased should
the democratic ticket be elected at the
city election. Are the people of this city
ready to turn over all it's affairs to the
care, direction and management Of
Mr.. Keefe. Are conservative demo
Gratis ready to do this? The vote on
election day will tell the story.

Washington. D. c., March 6.-Vice

discharge of his official duties as pre-
siding officer of the senate when that
body met yesterday at noon. He was
soon required to make a ruling. Dur
ing the reading of the journal Mr..
Money desired to interrupt the pro-
ceedings, that Mr.. McLaurin, his col
league, might take the oath of office.
Mr.. Morgan objected, saying that the
reading of the journal should be COM
pleted.
IL am of the impression that the
rules require the reading of the jour
nal first" announced Mr.. Roosevelt
when the matter was submitted to
him for decision. The announce
ment was quietly received, altho it
was noticed that the vice president
had used personal pronoun instead
of saying "the chair is of the opin-
ion
The cloture rule proposed to re-
strict debate will offer Mr.. Roosevelt
an opportunity to display his nerve
and make lasting reputation. The
opposition has announced an inten-
tion to filibuster to prevent its adop-
ton, but the filibuster can only be
defective upon the chairs recognition.
1T will be within the power of Mr..
Roosevelt to fail to see Mr.. Teller or
some other member of the opposition
after the debate has proceeded a few
days, place the question, force a vote
and trust on an appeal from the chair
that the majority will sustain his ar
bitrary action. This is the only way
the filibuster can be broken.

Mayor Phillips tells the Courier that
he will not support the head of the
democratic ticket at the coming city
election. More than that he says the
Courier may make the statement as
coming from him. If there is anything
more needed to convince the people of
Ottumwa that serious split has occur

Ter would like to know what it is.

FOSTER TO HIS FRIENDS.
Asks Support of Polk County for Of
flee of Governor.


Des Moines, March 6.-Sidney A.
Foster is sending the following letter
to Polk county republicans:
Only Dear Sir: / AM a candidate
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor. I have always been a republi-
can, have never repudiated the plat
form Of my party, nor bolted nom
inee. So long as the party stands
true to her principles, as in the past,
l shall continue to be republican. I
make no claim to the nomination up
on the fact of long party service, but
submit that one who has been faithful
and never before asked anything of
the party is certainly entitled to con-
sideration, ability and fitness being
ccnsiderG. The fact of having been a
resident Of Iowa for many years., a
large personal acquaintance turnout
the state, with the assurances of
friendship and support received fully
justify my candidacy and belief in ul-
innate success. My candidacy is not
backed by either an old or new ma,
chine, in it there are mo old scores to
even up and the endeavor on my part
will be to submit my case to the coun.
ty primaries in such a spirit that
when this contest is over the party
may be better organized for the com
mon work and an increased republi
can majority.
"The republican party is greater
than any Individual, or two or three
individuals who wish to dictate the
politics of Polk county. I wish every
republican in this county to be con
suited, and l write this letter to yol
personally, urging that you give my
candidacy your careful consideration
and at the primary I trust to receive
your friendship and support. an
fully aware that the result in Poll
county will have tremendous bear
ing upon the result in the state con
Iyention,"

Secret Meeting Held in ottumwa Re-
cently-Prominent Democrat of OF
tunwa Says Name of Our Mayor

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
1t is we'll known fact among GER
tain party workers of the state that G.
A. Hoffman, chairman of the democrat
ic state central committee, and our
own" Charlie Walsh were in the city a
few days ago on a quiet mission that
has not been explained. A Courier re-
porter learned this afternoon that
while they were here a conference was
held amongst local leaders and other
distinguished party men of this part of
the state and plan set afoot looking
toward the nomination of Mayor 7. j..
Phillips as democratic candidate for
governor of Iowa. 1t is asserted by
his friends that being one of the few
democratic mayors of the state, and
that too of the best city in the state,
and having been prominent and active
in party politics, Mr.. Phillips is their
logical candidate for governor. 1t is
claimed furthermore by them that our
mayor has shown high order of ex-
ecutive ability; that he is the head of
one OF the largest enterprises in the
west, and that he would be equally
strong and successful in the governors
chair. Besides, it is claimed that he
would receive party support from the
laboring men of the state and would be
an especially strong candidate. 1t is
stated upon good authority that numer-
GUS letters are being written and other
missionary work being quietly done in
his behalf and that already his friends
have the situation well in hand. 1t is
understood that at conference of To-
cal party workers it has been decided
to hold meeting in the near future
at which the mayors candidacy will be
formally announced.
Mayor Phillips Interviewed.
Mayor Phillips was approached late
this afternoon as to the truth of the
report and seemed to regard the whole
thing as fake" When questioned
as to Walsh and Hoffman being in
the city he would neither deny or af-
firm it and only said that the rumor
was news to him. my running for
governor is absurd" said he, and vet
it could be plainly seen that he appre-
ciated the situation.

Boarding House Burns-Twenty-Five
Occupants Escape Unframed.

Laddsdale, March 5. Especial y
The three-story boarding house at
this place burned to the ground this
morning about o'clock. The house
was owned by the Eldon Coal and
Mining company and was occupied by
w, B. Hinkel. The loss on the build
ing is between $1,000 and $4,000 and
the insurance $1,000. A part of the
household goods was saved. The loss
cannot be estimated at this time, but
is supposed to be in the neighborhood
of $500. The origin of the fire is un-
known. About twenty-five people
were in the house at the time, but all
escaped without injury.

bonds issued by the town of Reeds, in
Wabasha county, for the construction
of railroad. The town afterward, by
special act of the legislature, was dis
solved and the courts decided that it
could not be held for these bonds,
which, in the meantime, had come into
the possession of Mr.. Sage. The bill
provides that the residents of the terri.

What democrat outside of the ring
of which Boss" Neefe is monarch
about whom lesser lights are studded,
will say that Mayor Phillips was not
entitled to denomination under the
circumstances. Up to within almost
the last hour before the convention it
was conceded that Mr.. Phillips was
the only man to be seriously consid-
cred. There was no open opposition.
That which was done was worked
stealthily, was done in the dark and
with the avowed object of Furnishing
Mr.. Phillips. They saw a chance to
humiliate their master and they took
it, desperate as it was.

for Office. Alderman Hoglund, it is
rumored, said before the late city dem
ocratic convention that he would not
support the mayor if he were nomin-
ated. At least he was open in his
statement but he exhibited mighty
poor judgment in the estimation of
the mayor and the mayors friends.
The Ratchet in this case has sharp
edge and is eager for gore.

Mayor Phillips does not take the
suggestion seriously that his party in
tends to present his name as candi-
date for governor. 1t is probably a
scheme of the local ring" to sidetrack
the mayor until after the city election.
1t would make no difference to them
then what would become of the mayor.
The mayor. however. is probably just
as much of a politician as his oppon-
ents, after his eyes are opened as they
have been during the past two weeks.
