DIES MONIES. Aug. 2o.-(Special) Sen
ator A. b. Funk of Spirit Lake said today
that he would not support Secretary Les
lie NJ Shaw for president. Since Senator
Funk is a warm supporter of Governor
Cummins his statement is believed to
mean that the Cummins people generally
will not only refuse to line up with the
Shaw people. but in view of the growing
talk of Cummins for president that there
will be open hostility between the two
camps Of the party in this state. On his
return from attending the Chicago re-
ciprocity conference Senator Funk at
tended meeting of the capitol commis-
sion here, of which he is a member. Be
fore leaving the city today he said; Il
shall not support Shaw and I am not
particular who knows IT, II my influence
in politics counts for anything in this state
it shall not count in favor of Secretary
shaw" declared the editor of the Spirit
Lake Beacon. Il do not believe that Shaw
represents the people Of Iowa on the ques-
ton of the tariff He is travelling about
telling people that Iowa is in favor OF

believe the majority of the people OF
Iowa are"
| Garnsey on Last visit.
| Artist Elmer f. Garnsey. who has the
! contract for the decorations at the state
| house. is in the city on perhaps his last
| visit The 800 900 decorations are now
practically completed, the only work re-
naming being a little in the north and
south corridors and the painting about
the inches that will hold the battlefags,
which painting has been delayed by the
work on the inches. Mr.. Garnsey has had
| offers to do a great deal of work in the
east. notably on the Carnegie institute at
| Pittsburg and one or two big churches In
the east, but has been forced to refuse
| them on account of his health. The work
on the Iowa state house will be his last
work, possibly, for many years. Mr..
Garnsey is considered one of the ablest
artists in the east, but he has a growth
on his neck which has ben troubling him
of late and on the advice of his physician
on the completion of the Iowa state house
he will take an extended rest
