after the news OF his death was announced.
The impression seems to be that w. ".
Wilcox. a prominent insurance man and

office or pension office, will be in the lead.
At the same time there is considerable
speculation as to whether or not Ambas-
sador Conger will not enter the race.
Past Commander r. p st. John, who
was a candidate for the position of United
States marshal for northern Iowa, but was
turned down, is also prominently mentioned
for the position. The position nominally
would be at the disposal Of the Iowa con-
gressional delegation, but for some time
has been conceded to Congressman Hull.
