Iowa's Senior Senator Says
His Age Bars Him From
the Presidency.
TELEGRAM PLEASES HIM
Governor Shaw congratuIates Allison
on Mention of Latter's Name-Is
Understood That Governor Will Be
a Candidate for the Place.

Washington, June Ex-senator Alli-
dent in 1904.He declines with thanks
the nomination which some eastern
newspapers have tried to thrust upon
him since he came to Washington a
few days ago. The Iowa senator was
much pleased to receive from Cover
nor Shaw telegram urging him to be-
come Iowa's favorite son, but says he
has no intention of complying.
Shaw Sent Telegram.
Governor Shaw sent the following
telegram:
"My dear Senator Allison: - no.
tice with much satisfaction that the
country is taking kindly to the men,
tion of your name for the Presidency.
hope you will encourage its use. |
will be more than glad to aid to the
best of my ability that Iowa and the
nation rally to you as never before.
Do not say No Leslie M. Shaw"
Will Be Too Old.
"Why, shall be rs when the con-
vention OF 1904 meets" said Mr.. ALI
son, "and you could not convince our
people that man of rs is not old.
Some one else will have to pose as
Iowa's favorite son, for will not.
am eerious. l mean what say. Why
should not Governor Shaw himself be
the candidate of our state? He is a
fine man and has a good record be-
hind him. am sure everyone in
. Iowa would be glad to join in present
ing his name to the national conven-
ton"
Not Ambitious.
The understanding among Iowans
here is that Senator Allison has def.
nitely abandoned his ambition to be
President. He realizes that time has
passed him by. He would be rs
when nominated and 76 almost to a
day of his Inauguration, and the re.
publican party is not likely to take
chances on candidate as old as that
Aside from this matter of age, Mr.. AL
lison is not half as anxious to be Pres
ident as he once was. He knows il
is post which kills. all but the har.
diest and most enduring of men, and
he is very happy and contented in the
place which he now occupies, father
of the senate and republican leader OF
that body.
Shaw Wants 1t.
1t is further understood among the
members of the Iowa colony here that
Governor Shaw wants and expects tc
be brought forward as the candidate
of his state in 1904. With this in
view he is neutral between the Cum
minis and anti-Cummins factions now
engaged in good natured by earnest
struggle for the control of the state.
