Des Moines. June 13.-An interesting
state of affairs in regard to politics
is said to exist in the northern part of
! the state. In the 47th senatorial dis
atortal fight promises a contest sim
liar to others that have been held there.
| A. %. Clarke, of Algona. has been in
dorsed by Kossuth county Senator
Bachman, now of Emmett but formerly
of Palo Alto, is candidate again. and
| it is learned that j. W. Kinney, of Palo
| Alto, may be candidate. Kinney is
candidate for representative and now
has IA clear field in Palo Alto because
/ of the withdrawal of Barringer, but
Major Cheney is very anxious to have
a second term from Clay county. Now
| it is learned that if Kinney can suffi-
ciently control the delegation from
Palo Alto he will make deal TO allow
Cheney's denomination and thus get
| the support of Clay and Palo Alto for
senator. On the other hand Robinson,
| OF Emmett, is candidate for repre-
| sentative and Dickinson has candi-
date in the person Of DR.. Fuller. Dick
inson will insist on Fuller and If he is
not nominated it is said his name will
go on the ballot by petition and he
will be elected The aspirations of
Senator Bachman form another element
! to- contend with, and so it is COM
plication that is sure to be hard to
untangle in the convention.
| Some surprise has been manifested
because the Ringgold county republi-
cans did not put Chairman Spence
on the state delegation. 1t is under
stood that he did not care to go on the
delegation. But it appears that in the
convention the old Cummins and Anti
Cuinmins fight cropped out again and
the committee which made up the state
delegation was strongly pro- -Cummins.
/ A fight was made before the committee
to put Senator Allyn, strong anti
Cummins man, on the state delega-
ton. This would have necessitated the
displacement of Mr.. Scott, one of the
strongest Cummins men of the county,
and the committee would not permit It,
So that the delegation comes to Des
Moines without a single Mt. Ayr man
upon 1t. The matter is Of little con-
sequence save as it indicates that fac
tional feeling is still strong in some
counties Of the state.
Stitzel X. Way, of Wesley, sees his
way clear to reelection to the state
committee without opposition. He al
ready has the delegations from Kos
suth, Winnebago. Hancock, Boone and
Pocahontas counties, which insures his
selection A hard fight was made to
down him in his own county and il this
could have been done there would have
been a flock Of candidates out against
him. Way and Hanna. the candidate
for representative in Kossuth. are clos
est political friends. II was George
Hanna who was two years ago indorsed
for committeeman but who afterwards
withdrew in favor OF Way. Hanna is
q brother of the well-known United
States consul and man of ability. 1t
was the Way influence also that made
possible the Endorsement of Clarke for
senator in Kossuth and Clarke is one of
OF the country.
Some of the more influential men of
the last house are getting renomina-
tions. NJ. l.. Temple, of Clarke county,
who has been renominated, served III
the 26th. 2Sth and 29th general assem-
blies. Clarke, of Dallas, who will be
speaker, already has his nomination.
Others renominated are Teachout and
English, of Polk; Gilchrist, Of Poca-
hontas; Mates. of Sac; Furry. Of Hard
in: Ppher, OF Cass: Wise, of Black
hawk; Pritchard. of Wright: Cum
mings, of MARSHALL Bailey. of Ring
gold Freeman. of Pottawattamie;
Greene. of Madison; Head. of Greene;
and Greeley, of Story. There will be
no question about the ability of the
next house and that the high char
acter of the last assembly will be main
tanned.
1t is learned that Charles f. Rus
sell, of Chicago. political manager for
William r. Hearst, has engaged suite
of rooms at the Savery for the week
of the democratic state convention. Mr..
Russell will not be here merely as an
on locker.
