KENDALL TO HAVE

TETER OF MARION COUNTY HAS
e ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY
FOR sPEAkERsHiP
No Certainty Of Caucus Action 6n the
Primary Law-Interview Purporting
to Come From Senator Saunders
Favors State Wide Law.

Des Moines, Dec 1t seems to be
taken for granted among the politi.
clans that N. 3. Kendall Of Monroe
county, will be the speaker of the next
house Of representatives.
His friends state that he has enough
votes pledged to insure his election.
Members Of the legislature are in con-
ference with him almost daily respect
ing the committee assignments.
L. D. Teter Of Marion county has
announced his candidacy. His friends
believe he will surprise the Kendall
forces when a showing of strength is
made.
Both men have been classed as pro-
was entirely quiescent in the fac
in being reelected but was one of
two republican candidates who pulled
through. Both Monroe and Marion
counties were carried by the anti
Cummins forces last summer.
No hint has been heard of stand.
pat candidate for the speakership.
There is some controversy as to
whether the progressive republicans
VIII absolutely control the republican
caucus Of house members next Jan
uary. They claim to have about forty
five Of the seventy-five republicans.
It is assumed among politicians that
the whole of the republican member
ship will go into caucus on the speak
ership and such matters.
But this does not insure caucus &C
ton on the enactment Of such legis-
lation as to the primary for instance.
On this subject there may be opposi-
ton OF the plan of the Cummins people
to take action in caucus.
Saunders for Primary.
Surprise has been expressed in poll
tical circles with regard to an inter-
view purporting to have been given
out by Senator Charles G. Saunders
Of Council Bluffs in favor Of the state
wide primary.
He has been quoted as saying that
while personally opposed to that kind
of primary the party platform
pledged it and he will vote for it.
Senator Saunders was given credit
for the defeat of the Cummins state
wide primary bill in the last legisla-
ture. He proposed a substitute for a

delegate primary instead Of the state

delegate primary instead Of the state
wide plurality nomination direct
1t has been assumed that the fight,
the coming winter, would be along
this line. The stand-pat republicans
believe that the platform pledge will
be kept If primary law which per-
mits the voters to elect delegates to
conventions which shall nominate can
dates for Office is enacted. The Cum
minis republicans will insist on the
passage of a state wide primary which
will permit the voters to nominate the
candidates without intervention Of
conventions.
The statement from Senator Saun-
ders that he will support the state
wide, plurality plan is taken as signi-
ficant of the attitude Of stand-patters,
generally, although 1t Is a surprise to
the politicians for it indicates that aft
er all there may be no fight with re.
spect to the primary election legisla-
ton next winter.
No $4,000 Mansion.
No one imagines that Senator James
A. Bruce of Cass county will get very
far with his proposition to appropriate
$4,000 for a mansion for the chief
executive Of the state.
in the first place it would have TO
be erected in Des MONIES. which is
sufficient to earn for it the unanimous
condemnation of the newspapers Of
the state
In the second place it is not needed
and would be piece of the worst
kind of extravaganza and folly. The
governor now draws salary amount
ing, in all, to $4,000 or more than $500
a month. Governor Larrabee and 9th
er executives got along on $4,000 to
$4,100 year and rented home or lived
at the hotel. It is apparent that It
would take more for governor to
entertain properly in a $4,000 man.

cumstances to rent modest home,

pected to occupy, or apartments at the
hotel.
Practically all of the legislation that

ter.
Indications are that the assembly
will devote most OF it's time to the real
ly Important legislation along reforma-
tory lines. The primary, props for
the anti-pass law, two-cent fare bill
such measures as these will take up
most Of the time. But the pet schemes
will be there, also.
Insurance legislation bids fair to oc-
cupy the center of the stage during
most Of the winter. The legislative
commission which has been charged
with the responsibility Of reporting q
remodiflcation of the insurance laws
expects to complete it's labors tonight
and to formulate definitely its report
to the legislature. This report will be
in the hands of the assembly for adopt
ion or rejection this winter. 1t will
take the place held last winter by
the educational board of control con-

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-The currents
of the stock market shifted as con-
stantly today as yesterday and specula-
tive sentiment seemed to undergo the
same vacillations during the day. There
{, was an apprecable expansion In the
volume of the market, however, ana the
fuctua tions were much wider than yes
terday.
The effective efforts on the side of
higher prices practically ended after
the shock caused by the alarmist rum
ors regarding the extent of the harm
done by the storm in the southern
states, although there was temporary
recovery after 1t was learned how tar
the early rumors were exaggerated AS
these rumors pointed to the annih1la-
tion of the city of New Orleans and al
most a repetition of the San Francisco
calamity, the effect on prices OF stocks
was natural when the results following
the San Francisco catastrophe were re-
membered.
The more sober consideration of the
news from south detracted from its SEN
sational features but provided some
grounds for misgivings over the erect
on the cotton crop. Reports OF with
markets pending further details of the
damage done Indicated a disposition to
pause and take stock of the situation
before taking definite steps.
The advance in prices which was in
terrupted by the storm news was
largely in sympathy with the whipping
up of Reading in manner that has be-
come highly characteristic of that stock
and diminishing effect on general specu-
lative sentiment.
There was some subsistence of politi-
cal discussion with the adjournment Of
the New York party conventions until
late in the day The late bear drive
against the market was accompanied
with many professions of anxiety over
the possible disturbing effects upon
business confidence of an active cam
paign waged along the lines indicated
by the political outlook.
Fears of a pinch in the money mar
lket also played part in the pressure
on the market. There were reports of
further gold engagements current today
but no actual engagement was an
nounced until after the stock market
closed. when a $1,5O0,O0o engagement
was reported The tone of the call
money market was hard but showed no
disturbance.
The considerable rally at the last was
due to covering of short contracts by
the bears and was evidence of the pro-
fessional character of much of the
selling
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value. s1.77S.0O0.
United States bonds were unchanged
