PROMOTION IN IOWA.

PROMOTION IN IOWA.
A face comparatively new to the House. but
not to the Senate will be seen in the Iowa dele
cation in the person of Albert F. Dawson, a long
time popular clerk Of the Senate Committee on
Appropriations Trained under the careful SUI
pervision OF the venerable senior Senator from
Iowa, Mr.. Allison, possessed Of exceptionally
pleasing personality and of extensive familiarity
not only with political conditions in Iowa, but
with the affairs of the national legislature, Mr..
Dawson is expected to render an excellent ac-
count of himself in the House. and his friends
are making sanguine predictions for his future.
Mr. Dawson captured the only district repre-
scented by Democrat in the last House, SO that
the delegation from that State Is now sohdly
Republican There is one other new face, how
ever Ebert H. Hubbard, not OF The Phhs-
tine" who comes from the l1th District sue
oeeding Lot Thomas, also a Republican, VINO
had served in the House for six years
Kansas and Maine have returned precisely the
same delegations as represented those States IN
MARYLAND shows only two changes. this being
one of the two States where the Democrats
made gain They elected Thomas a. smith
from the LIST District in place or Wllllan II.
Jackson, Republican, who had represented the
district in the 9th and 5Sth Congresses John
Gill jr. Democrat, who comes to represent the
4th District, succeeds James w. Denny, also
Democrat. This is the district formerly repre-
sented by Charles r. Schirm, the Adonls or the
Maryland delegation.
HISTORIC BAY STATE.
Massachusetts has added one more historic
name TO her delegation in Congress in the per-
son of lockwood Hoar. of the late Senator
Hoar Mr. Hoar has for himself a place
in Massachusetts worthy Of the son of his father
and much is expected of him in the House where
he comes to represent the Sd District. succeeding
John R Thayer. This is the Worcester district
and was represented in the last three Congresses
by Thayer but is not normally Democratic
district Thayer having always run ahead or MS
ticket It is therefore, believed that Mr.. Hoar,
having secured the election this time. is destined
for a long term of service in the House, perhaps
eventually for a term in the upper House. The
only other change in the Bay State delegation IS
furnished by the succession of John T. Weeks,
of the 18th District. to Sam Powers. who after
four years service in the House declined to run
again.
senator Lodge tells the story of one Of the
members of the delegation from his State-Wno
by the Senator's orders must be nameless-who
is tremendously impressed with the dignity OF MS
position One night his wife awoke him ana
whispered, John. there are burglars in the
house" You must be mistaken, my dear, SAID
the Massachusetts statesman. There may be a
few in the Senate but in the House-oh. no; the
idea is simply preposterous
COAL AND IRON MEN.
once more Pennsylvania has lone Demo-
craft delegation. The defeat of Charles H. Dick
errnan of the 10th District, by E. w Samuel.
and of Joseph H. shull of the 26th District by
Gustav A Schneebeli. robbed the Democrats OF
two seats and left Marcus c. L. Kline. OF the
18th District the sole Democrat survivor OF the
landslide which struck Pennsylvania. There
are, however five other new faces In the Penn
sylvania delegation. Thomas H. Dale who sue
ceeds William Conneil of the Scranton District;
Mial e. Lilley who succeeds Charles +. Wright,
of the 14th District; James F. Burke VINO sue
ceeds Henry Kirke Porter of Pfttsburg. and j.
OF Pittsburg.
