4 The Next Ticket.
There is much talk now of the per.
sonnel Of the ticket that will be pre-.
scented next fall by the republicans OF
i course, the governorship is up in the
4 air but there is plenty OF material for
speculation as to whether Governor
j Cummins will ask for another term
and whether he will be opposed by
4 Geo. w. Perkins, Of Sioux City, OF
Lafe Young of Des Moines, or some
one else.
| But not all Of the attention Is being
given to the head of the ticket. w,
IW. Morrow, candidate for treasurer
4 was here yesterday on private bust
ness. He seems to be conceded the
/ nomination by the leaders of both fac
] tions, and an effort is being made here
4 by the ninth district friends OF H. w
Byers that he shall be nominated for
attorney general without fight II
Mr.. Morrow is The railroad commits
! sionerships are also being discussed,
Colonel Palmer and e. A. Dawson &c
off the board this year and 1t Is under
stood that Colonel Palmer will be q
candidate for denomination. W. L
Eaton, of Mitchell county, Frank Por
i terfeld, Ed Sits. Owen Lovejoy and
Il others are considered for the other
place. 1t is possible that slate may
be made up including two candidates
for railroad commissioner, the attor
!, ney general and the treasurer, and
along with the auditor and superin
!. tendent Of instruction and two SUI
preme judges Ito which four there
will be no opposition for renomina
tion) an effort may be made to have
these eight officers nominated this
+ summer without a fight, leaving the
] contest exclusively on governor and
Il secretary Of state.
