Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 21.-All the
signs in the political sky in Iowa point
to contest next year between Shaw and
either DolliVer or Cunlmns as to which
will get the Iowa delegation for the vice
presidency, .4'%
Secretary Shaw. according to inside ad-
vices from Washington, and in the opin-
ion Of the shrewdest politicians of the
state. wants the vice presidency next year
and has already laid his plans for secur-
Ing the Iowa delegation. The mere an
nOuncement Of this fact would suffice to
stir up battle in this state, and the cir
culation Of the report among leading poll
ticians has already set the anti-Shaw ele-
ment Of them to thinking how to counter
act the movement and prevent him from
getting the delegation. There is just one
way. it is figured, In which this can be
done. and that is to select a delegation
to the national convention that will be
favorable either to Dolliver or Cummins.
An effort of this kind will unquestionably
be made.
The talk up to this time has been very
much one-sided in favor of Cummins for
the support Of the Iowa delegation for the
vice presidency. But the recent speech
of Dolliver in the United States senate
In favor Of the ratification of the reci-
procity treaties has given strong impetus
TO the Dolliver boom. In spite Of this,
however. it is pretty generally believed
that Dolliver does not want to give up
the senatorship. for the sake of becoming
vice president. and that the ultimate out
come OF the present state of things will
be a contest between Shaw and Cum
minis for the control Of the Iowa delega-
ton to the national convention.
Some of the opponents Of Cummins are
saying that they want nothing better than
to see him showed into the ice-presiden
tial chair and thus killed off. The friends
Of the governor. however. argue that the
acceptance of the office of vice president
in these modern days does not kill off a
man politically, and that the selection OF
Cummins for vice president will insure
him at the least seat in the senate and
possibly, in time the presidency.
