IOWA
SENATORIAL FIGHT IMPENDING

Three Cornered Affair In Bachman's Dis
trlct In Northwestern Iowa.
DIES MONIES, IOWA-One of the most
animated contests of next year is expected
In the senatorial districts consisting of the
counties fClay. Dickinson. Emmett, Kos
suth and Palo Alto. 1t is the understand
ing here there will be a three-cornered
fight, in which Senator Bachman of Es-
therville, Emmett county, will be a candi-
date for another term and A. D. Clarke
and Gardner Cowles, both Of Algona, will
be pitted against each other. Clarke and
Cowles were candidates in 1901 for the
Office of representative. from Kossuth
county, and after one of the most memo
rable political struggles in the history of
the state, In which thousands of dollars
were expended, Cowles Won by the bare
majority of 81 to 80. There were several
contesting delegations, but before the
county convention there was a compro-
mise by which Cowles was to be returned
to the legislature and the delegation Of
kossuth county was to go to Cedar Rap
ids instructed for Cunmins. In the belief
of many, the result in Kossuth was piv-
otal, insuring the nomination of Cummins
for the governorship.
1t Is expected Clarke on account of his
retirement from the field in 1901, will be
given strong Cummins support in the COM
ing senatorial contest. There is no doubt
that the battle between Cowles and Clarke
will be a repetition of the bitter experience
of 1901. although Cowles is likely to be
somewhat weakened by the fact that Har-
vey Ingham. his first lieutenant in 1901,
has removed to Des Moines. E. P. Bar
ringer, who was formerly member Of the
house from the Clay-Palo Alto district, is
understood to be preparing to be a candi-
date for another term. In 1901, Barringer
was defeated and A. H. Cheney Of Clay
county was nominated, because Clay had
the most delegates. Now Palo Alto has
the majority and Barringers: chances of
the nomination are excellent. =. .
James G. Davis of Keolxuk is in the city
and is getting in readiness to enter on his
duties as attorney for Iowa for the North
Western road. MIR. Davis said to-day he
would take up the work Jan. 2, and will
maintain an office here.
