HAS EXTENSIVE LAW PRACTICE
Judge Waterman Refused to Accept .
Second Nomination to Follow It, as
Did Also His Present Partner in
Davenport, Mr.. Lane-Distriet Cont
dent of EIectins Member.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Dec. 29.-Ihe republicans oi
the Second Iowa district place but
little credence in the report which has
been in circulation in Iowa to the effect
that ex-Supreme Court Judge Water
man, of Davenport will be repub
lican candidate for congress from this
district next year. Mr.. Waterman is
a member of the firm of Waterman d
Lane, of Davenport MIR. Lane being
a former congressman from this dis
trict, but refused to accept second
nomination for the reason he desired
TO give his entire time to the law
from the supreme bench for the same
purpose and formed partnership with
Mr.. Lane and today the firm enjoys
a very extensive practice. Mr.. Lane
would have been unanimously re-noEl-
mated had he been n candidate and
would have been elected by plurality
equal TO that given the late Captain
Rumple. Judge Waterman could doubt
less have remained on the supreme
bench as long as he desired. These be-
ing the facts in the matter. it is hardly
probable Mr.. Waterman would seek
partner voluntarily gave up and an
Office no better than that which he
gave up to go into the law business
with Mr.. Lane.
The republicans OF the Second dis
trict have not the least shadow of
doubt but they can eject u member Of
congress from this district next fall
Two years ago Governor Cummins car
ried the district by a handsome plur-
ality. In 1902. when Mr.. Wade was
elected, Mr. Martin. republican candi-
date for state secretary. carried the
district by over 500 plurality and this
fall Governor Cummins again carried
the district by 1900. Next year being
presidential election. the republicans
will carry the district by big plur-.
ality and IL Mr.. Wade Is the democratic
candidate, 1t will be impossible for his
party to re-eiect him. 1t Is generally
conceded thruout the district that the
nomination will go to either Scott or
Clinton county, as these are the pop
ulous counties of the district and large
manufacturing centers The nomina-
ition went TO Muscatine county in 1902
largely for the reason that the country
had not had candidate for representa-
tive for thirty years.
