Des Moines, June S.-The prohi-
bitionists of Iowa are said to be look
ing forward hopefully to the next
national campaign and are even nov
preparing to offer one of their number
as national candidate for 1904. The
prohibitionists usually make theil
nominations several months ahead OF
time when nominations are made by
other parties, hence it is not too early
for them to begin laying plans fol
their national campaign. The mar
/ the Iowans have picked out for the ma
tional ticket is A. U. Coates, of Perry
the prohibitionist candidate for gov
ernor in Iowa last year. He made ar
Unexpectedly good run for the office
and got nearly 10000 votes in the
state This was the first time that the
prohibitionist party got above the
mark required for minor party to be
recognized in the Iowa law as a poll
tical party. Heretofore the prohibi
tionists have been in the class of poll
teal orphans going on the ballot by
petition. From this time On they have

Iowa last year Coates is a modest and
retiring young man of great popular

near carrying Iowa for a prohibitions

"A good deal of interest is being taken
just now among the Catholic clergy OF
this part of the country in the matter OF
s'oS1SS'pi w
bishop Corrigan in New York. 1t is GER
tainly known, despite some yelled dis
chalmers emanating from Dubuque, that
the name of Archbishop Keane. of the
archdiocese of Dubuque, is being con-
sidered as one who may be called to
New York. 1t is no new thing for the
vatican to send to the larger and more
important sees of the church church.
men who have distinguished themselves
III high places. Altho Archbishop keane
has been at the head of the Dubuque
see only a few years he is a man of
considerable experience and has
demonstrated his capacity by putting
new life into the church under his
charge. The name OF Archbishop Keane
has been suggested along with Arch
bishop Ireland. That the clergy in New
York state will oppose the candidatures
Gc both these prelates from the west is
regarded as certain. The movement is
well started there to have selected for
the successor of Corrigan one of the
priests or bishops of the New York
see. The prejudice against any one
from the outside coming into the see is
said to be great, and it may be, SO
prominent Catholics here think, that
for this very reason the vatican will
choose some one from the west to the
end that the longtime jealousy be-
tween the sections may be so far as
possible obliterated. 1t is related that
Archbishop Corrigan was first of the
prominent churchmen to put forward
the claims of Keane for the vacant
place at Dubuque. Corrigan knew
Keane very we'll when the latter was at
the university at Washington. 1t has
been charged that Keane had been in
strumental in causing the misunder-
standing which existed for several
years between Corrigan and Satolli. but
this seems not to have been believed by
Corrigan himself. AS between Keane
ard Ireland it is believed the pope will
choose the former to go to New York
because it is expected the st. Paul man
will be made a cardinal. If Keane is
called from Dubuque new man will be
selected for this see and that will cause
another shaking UP in the church in
this part OF the country.
