90S nomination would open in ear.

uCol.
Senator Fairbanks declined to be the
vice presidential nominee in Phila-
delphia in 1900 because he wanted to
head the ticket this year, 1904. I'm
mediately afterward he began his cam.
paign, quietly but none the less eff
fectively, and had already talked frank
ly on the subject to big party men
when President McKinley's assassina-
ton made Mr.. Roosevelt president and
SO shaped party affairs that he was
the logical candidate this year. Mr..
Fairbanks attitude for months past
has clearly demonstrated that he was
carefully guarding against doing any
thing that would impair his candidacy
in 1908,
Secretary Shaw has persistently
lodged the vice presidential lightning
and his ambition to be president is the
only logical explanation. He would be
well beyond 60 years and if he wait
ed until 1912 to become candidate
and in this day that is considered too
great an age.
Senator Foraker has long had the
presidential bee in his bonnet and he
likewise is one who would be too old

date. If Governor Odell is elected
governor of New York this year or
two years hence he will in many quart
ers be considered the logical candidate
in 1908.

Senator Fairbanks Is the Strongest
Opponent of the Former Iowa Gov.
ernor for the Leadership Of the

[BY H. ]. MAHIN.l
Washington Bureau Of the Courier.

Washington, D. G., July 2.
Talk of Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, for
president in 1908, has already reached
such proportions in Washington that
1t amounts almost to formal declara-
ticn of Secretary Shaw's candidacy by
his friends. Mr. Shaw has never denied
that he was candidate and his recent
dodging Of the vice presidential nomi-
nation is taken to mean that he has
the position at the head of the ticket
four years hence in mind. Senator
Fairbanks is Secretary Shaw's most
dangerous opponent in the race.
Almost the day after President
Roosevelt was nominated in Chicago
the question of the presidential nomi-
nation in 1908 was opened There is
already movement on foot to obtain
If possible from President Roosevelt a
declaration that he will not be a can
didate for nomination four years hence.
At the head of the list of those who
want the place are Secretary Shaw
and Senator Fairbanks. The latter is
practically an avowed candidate for
the place. Others in line for the honor
are Senator Foraker, IGlihu Root, Gov
ernon Odell and Secretary Taft 1t is
realized that if the republicans are sue
cessful next November it will be the
first time that Mr.. Roosevelt has been
actually elected to the presidency 1t
is evidently feared by those who want
to lead the party in 1908 that he might
again seek the nomination on the
ground that inasmuch as he was forced
to take the vice presidential nomina-
ton in 1900 and became president by
accident the traditional third term
prohibition is not brought into the mat.

President Roosevelt is taking every
precaution in this campaign to spike
doubtful states and to prevent weak

Some of the party leaders will urge him
that it is political necessity for him
to announce that he will not be can

is elected this fall With such a de,

Des Moines, July 2. = Claims aggre-
eating $7,737.91 have been presented
in the district court against the city
of Des Moines. The petition is present
ed by John Lucas as trustee for the
claimants. The claims have been al
lowed by the claims committee, but
not voted by the council for the reason
that the funds were depleted. A case
in the supreme court is cited as max
ing it possible for the claims to be
paid from the judgment fund when a
judgment is secured in the district
court.
The largest claim Is for s2,290.30 for
the Barber Asphalt company, and the
smallest, $780, for shoeing horses.
