Sioux City. Jan. 31.-The Tribune
says: j. U. Sammis, of LeMars. candi-
date for United States district attor-
ney, will, If the program is carried out,
be offered thru Congressman Lot
Thomas the position of collector of in
ternal revenue, to succeed j. w. Pat
terson of Dubuque. 1t is the opinion
of politicians that he will accept, in
spite of his assertion that he will not.
This is expected to solve the anoma
lous situation now existing in the
Eleventh. This district could secure a
federal appointment, but has had no
candidate.
The candidacy of Mr. Sammis for the
district attorneyship is of long stand
ing. He has been avowedly seeking the
place. Inasmuch us Collector j. w.
Patterson and United States Attorney
H. G. Mcmillan are both in the Fifth
congressional district, and 1t is a sort
of tacit law that two federal appoint
ments should not go to the same dis
trict, the distribution Of the federal
plums resolved itself into a contest be-
tween Mcmillan and Patterson as the
Fifth's representative.
While prophecies of politicians may
go all wrong. ii is said Mcmillan has
won. In that event the collectorship
would be sent to the Eleventh. and
there is said to be no question but
Thomas would take advantage of this
to conciliate Sammis as much as pos
sible. And so it is said j. U. Sammis
will be the next collector.
The terms of the federal officers ex-
pire with in a few days, and it is the
expectation that some disposition of
the appointments will be forthcoming.
The federal office holders continue
serving until successors are named.
