IOWA'S POLITICAL
HORIZON TROUBLED
HAMILTON COUNTY MAY PRO.
DUCE A @FAvoRITE SON.
indications Point to Judge j. H. Rich
ard of Webster City as Possible
Candidate for Congressional Honors
and Prediction Is Made that He
Would Have Strong Support.

Special to The Journal E., 80
Webster City, Iowa, Nov. 24.-The political
waters of the Tenth Iowa congressional dis
trict have been strangely troubled the past few
days. Evidences are coming to the surface which
would seem to warrant the prediction that Con-
gresham ]. p. Conner Of Dennison may not be
without opposition, as his friends have been
enthusiastically claiming for some weeks.
Hamilton county may decide to spring can
didate, and one whose name has not hitherto
been mentioned in connection with this particu-
lar Office. 1t is not Senator Kamrar, the sturdy
morse of many well-fought campaign, or
D. G.. Chase, he of the brilliant intellect and
the silver tongue. 1t is Judge Joseph H. Richard
of this city. .s--.
The Judge IS deeply interested IN his profess
has made record which has already coupled
his name with the supreme bench for such time
the eXigencfes of fate might open the way to
that honorable distinction. This fact has tend
ed to keep Richard in judicial rather than con-
gresslonal channels. ::

Would Be Strong Candidate.

b.. Would Be Strong Candidate.
However, with nearly every county in the dis
trict grooming favorite sons, there are hosts
of people and many prominent politicians who
believe that Hamilton county should be in line
with candidate whose name has proved tails
manic in many former contests of minor char
acter, and which might be sufficiently potent to
unite the various elements and win victory
in Conner's defeat should appear to be in
evitable.
1t has usually been the custom for Hamilton
county to have two candidates at least. Blythe
would have one congressional aspirant and Cum
Minis his faction the other. Two separate
special trains would be necessary to land the be-
ligerent factions at the arena of conflict. Under
such conditions, however some other county was
always sure to carry off the plum. ~
Might Capture Nomination. -.
The newer generation Of local leaders who
are now beginning to sit up and take notice
have about concluded that with candidate like
Judge Richard there would be alignment
in Hamilton county, old feuds would be for
gotten and an enthusiastic front be presented at
the convention which might result in capturing
the coveted nomination.
The counties in which Judge Richard holds
court and which are also in the tenth congress
sional district are Hamilton, Webster and
Boone. Richard is very popular in all three
counties. Boone has, no congressional candi-
date so far as Is known Webster county is in
the same situation, tho her resources for fur
nishing several candidates on short notice for
any kind Of a political office has long been the
/ wonder and admiration Of the political world.
| All things considered, there is strong local
belief that the time Is ripe for a new deal and
the district will not be surprised if the name
| of Judge Richard is formally presented for
! congressional honors when the proper time
| comes.
Record Sale of Hogs.
J. N. Fawcett Of Woodstock, who held the
most successful Poland China hog sale in the

hotel facilities here. At the sale just held in

Essay On Pants.

Pants are made for men and
not for women. Women are
made for man and not for pants.
When man pants for a woman and
a woman pants for a man they
are a pair of pants. Such pants
don't last. Pants are like
moIasses. They are thinner in
hot weather and thicker in cold.
Women are often mistaken in
pants; such mistakes are breeches
of promise. There has been
much discussion whether pants is
singular or plural. Seems to me
when men wear pants it is plural
and when they don't wear pants
it is singular. Men go on a tear
in their pants and it is all RIGHT;
When the pants go on a tear it is
all wrong. lfyou want TO make
pants last make the coat first

A REAL CRAZY ONE.

Muskogee, |. T., August IT,
One Of the most remarkable cases
of hallucination that has come
under the observation OF the court
OF the Western district was seen
here today when Wright Wasson,
a citizen of Wagner, [. T., was
placed on the witness stand upon
examination as to his sanity.
In the gravest and most earnest
way Wasson asserted that he had
married Helen Gould fifteen years
ago and that they had twenty
one children. He said that he
was in the secret service and that
the marriage had been forced up
on him by the orders OF superior
officers, and that it was no fault
of his. He further stated that
he was a close personal friend OF
President Roosevelt, and that he
had appointed the president gov.
ernor OF New York ten years ago.
He says he made his appointment
at Hope, Ark. He believes that
the president will come to the Jail
here, identify him and secure his
release. He also has an idea
that he was married and that his
wife was murdered. This woman
has no connection with the Helen
Gould hallucination.
Wasson is about 33 years old
and was born and reared in
Indian Territory. He became
convinced that he had been or
dered 10 kill a resident, promi-
nent citizen at Wagner, and was
getting ready 10 carry out this
plan when he was taken into
custody. He had invited friends
to see him do the job, asserting
that it would be done according
to secret service rules. The
officers think this is one Of the
strangest cases that they have
had to deal with. Thsy believe
that Wasson's mind prayed upon
crime until it became unbalanced.
He was ordered sent to the st.
Yincent's hospital in st. Louis
where the insane whites from
Indian Territory are confined.
