a message to Iowa republicans as to how
they should lineup in our present contest
for nomination for governor. Is this true?

Secretary Republican Central Committee,
Davenport Iowa.
Telegram received. Secretary Shaws
visit to Davenport is, of course. his own
responsibility. The President has sent no
| message through anybody to Iowa repub-
| iicans and has not interfered is not now
| interfering, and will not interfere in the
Iowa factional contest nor in that of any
| other state. VIM. LOEB. JR.,
Mr.. Shaw's Trip to Iowa.
| Secretary Shaw left Washington hurriedly
! Monday night. He was to have spoken to-
| day to the students of Syracuse University
| at Syracuse. n. Y, and surprise was ex-
pressed when he broke his engagement and
went directly to Des Moines. Some of the
students at Syracuse thought the engage
| ment was broken because Secretary Shaw
| did not like the severe criticism of Pres
| ident Roosevelt delivered in an address by
Chancellor Day This, however, was de-
MED.
The fact that Gov. Cummins has appar-
emily trump he'd once more over his old po
| litical enemies in Iowa does not mean as
smooth a pathway to presidential lonors as
l the IrlenuS Oh secretary SHAW ndQ tOpeU.
| To the contrary. 1t may mean that Secre-
| tary Shaw cannot and will not obtain the
| delegation from his own state for the nom
| inatfon in 1903, and that this delegation
may go to Gov. Cummfns. who has 9spira-
| tions toward the White House.
Iowa people say the chances are strong
| that there will be hot times In Davenport
| tonight when Secretary Shaw arises to
! speak and that tomorrow there will be
/ tremendous struggle in the republican eau
cuses. So far Gov. Cummins seems to have
| won out, and win control the state conven-
| ton by good majority over former Repre-
| sentative Perkins.
| great deal of interest In Washington
] will center in the explanation Secretary
| Shaw will make of the discrepancy in the
! statement contained In his telegram and
| the assertions of Secretary Loeb. Secretary
| Shaw, in his telegram, says distinctly that
| he Cancelled other engagements after con-
/ feIring with the President, which Is con-
/ strued by many republicans IN Iowa as
| meaning that the President approved the
/ visit his Secre' airy of the Treasury was to
make.
Gov Cummins is a tariff-revisionist re-
publican, and his campaign for another
| term as governor has been conducted along
! those lines. Secretary Shaw is one of the
| leading stapdpatters of the country. and is
| much opposed to the views of Gov. Cum
| minis.
Hepburn Bows to the Oracle.
| Representative Pete Hepburn had lit
| to Panama canal problems. He didn't ta--.
| about what had been said, but he had
some views about the adjournment of Con-
| gress when he was asked what he thought
| about the outlook.
! well" he said, "a man told me yester-
| day that the oracle of the Senate had just
| told him that we would quit week from
| next Friday-the 22d. I asked him which
| oracle? and he replied the gentleman from
| Rhode Island / did not think we could
| do it before heard that, but now that
| am more fully informed the situation,
| I'm willing to admit that perhaps we can.
various measures and ii We hold night ses-
| sions In the House 1 don't see why we
| could not get through by the date men,

| Representative Dalzell, another of the
House leaders. had no fixed date, but he
| said he thought Congress would adjourn
| the last week In June.
Senator Burkett another White House
caller, thought it looked like the last of
June.
