Preference Law.
Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, Oct. 2S.-Congressman
j. AT. Hull is anxious to make peace
with Governor Cummins with a view
to getting the governor to consent to
Hulrs being given the congress onal
nomination by accamation ,lext year
I'm fact Congressman Hull is very an
xious to make peace and during the
time he has been in this city lately
has been spending good deal OF his
time talking politics with men who are
friendly to himself and also to the
governor There are great many poll
ticians in this city and county who a. e
friendly to both men even though
some people do fail to see how Oil and
water can be expected to mix, and
some of those who are rather extra
friendly to the governor have been ap-
preached and asked If they did not
think it possible to induce the COVER
nor to consent to Hulls nomination by
acclamation. They have been asked II
they would not be willing to go TO the
governor and suggest to HIM that he
could not afford to run against Capt.
Hull and run the risk of being de-
feated. So far as can be ascertained
all Of these have thus far answered
that Hull might just as well stick his
head in lions mouth as to suggest
another compromise with Governor
Cumnins. They recall that Hull not on
ly failed to keep his promise at the last
campaign when such an arrangement
was made but afterward denied that
he made any such arrangement.
1t is also known that recently Con-
gressnan Hull has had his friends Cir
'culating in the other counties of the
district in the hope Of bringing infiu-
ence and persuasion to bear on the
governor to induce him to stay out of
the congressional campaign. The ar
guunent is always that the governor
cannot afford to enter the CAM
paign against Hull. This of
course does not apply to any sense of
money matters but to the inlputation
that the risk of being defeated by Con-
gress1nan Hull is so large that the gov
ernor cannot afford to risk his political
future in such a campaign. There are
great many Cummins supporters,
men who are for Governor Curnmfns
first last and all the time, who are not
decided in their mind that the gov
ernor should u~un against Captain Hull
and the governor himself has said,
without admitting that he was think
ing Of running against Hull or for
third term or anything else, that he
did not know what he would do. But
the chances Of Congressman Hulrs
latest move for harmony being sue
cessful is decidedly remote and the
Cunmins people generally recognize
the fact as has been reported before
that whether the governor is candi-
date for congress or not he will be in
the campaign in the seventh district
with, his coat off making speeches that
will not be for Hull. The argument Of
many of the Hull men who claim also
to be supporters Of the governor, is
that It is unfair for the governor to
force them to make a choice between
the two by his entering the field as a
candidate for congress. According to
all appearances whether the governor
is a candidate himself or not, the choice
between the two men will have to be
made, for the governor will he In the

The executive council will issue in
two or three weeks bulletin giving
the first information from the census.
The bulletin will give the population
for all the Incorporated towns of the
state for every census taken from 1885
down to and including the census for
this year. 1t will also give the popu-
lation of the counties of the state
showing the number in each county of
native born from native parents, native
born from foreign parents, foreign born
and colored. The information has al
ready been made public to limited
extent thru the newspapers. but not in
detail Other bulletins will likely fol-
low on other phases Of the census be-
fore the final complete volume is pub
Iished. This follows somewhat the
plans of the federal census in sending
out bulletins.

The Blashfield painting that is to be
one of the chief works of art in the
state house if not in the west, is now
on exhibit in New York. 1t will be ex-
hibite1 there for a few days and then
will be brought west and placed in the
panel above the grand staircase. 1t is
expected that it will be in place inside
Of a month or two, or at least before
the legislature is in session.
The failure Of the supreme court to
bring in the decision on tie old soldier
law is again disappointing to the old
soldiers and gives more time for cases
to core up under it. 1t had been hoped
that the decision would be brought in
this period. The third period of the
term will begin November
a. but the secrets of the consulta-
ton room of the supreme court are not
divulged to the public and there is no
more surety. that the decision will be
brought in at that period than there
