Washington. D. c., Nov. 1.-The dra-
matte declination of Speaker David B.
Henderson Of Iowa to accept renomina-
ton as a candidate for congress has in
tected into the approaching congress
sional elections a new issue and a new
interest. To Republicans. to the coun-
try at large, the elections in the several
districts assume an Importance only
second to that possessed by an election
for the presidency itself On the re-
suits rest the determination of the ques-
ton of the speakershiD of the next
house.
The speaker of the house of represent
tatives has always been an important
figure in national legislation, but in re-
cent years his importance has grown
to greatly increased dimensions. He is
a figure only second in power to the
president himself, and in some respects
his power is greater. At this time when
there is divergence on vital issues il
Republican ranks, the elections are

1t for consideration. With Republicans
in the majority and the selection of
speaker becoming their first work the
answer to be given at the polls will in
all proba bility prove d determining fac
tor in the choice they will make.
1t here becomes interesting to glance
at the leading members of the house
who already present themselves to tee
minds of Republican politicians as can
didates for what is practically the sec
Ond most important office in the coun-
trZ.
SHERMAN IN THE RACE.
One of these. Representative James
Schoolcratt Sherman. of Utica, who as d
Republican represents the Twenty-fi
district of New York, was mentioned
some two years ago, at the time of the
RESIGNATION of Speaker Reed. as the
most likely successor to the latter In
fact, Mr.. Sherman was strongly in the
running against David B. Henderson at
that time, and was understood to have
withdrawn only in Difference to the
wishes of Senator Platt of New York.
For time he was regarded as a sure
thing for the office. and it was general
ly believed that he was the 2ersonal
choice of President Mckinley Mr.. Nc
Kinley nominated him for general aD-
praiser at New York, which, though
practically a life office, he declined at
the instigationg it was said, of his own
constituents, who desired that he retain
his seat in congress.
In his sDeakership race against Hen
derson, Sherman had but one formidable
opponent, Serene Payne. of Auburn. N.
Y, then chairman of the ways and
means committee When he retired from
the speakership contest, Sherman was
believed to have secured So votes out OF
the 90 necessary to secure the caucus
nomination He has been six times
elected to congress and defeated once.
Congressman ''Joe" Cannon, Of ILL

November. 1899, he did come forward as
Republican candidate for the office. He
