IONS that will be used by Corporation
Counsel ] Hamilton Lewis in his fight
with the Pullman company to, secure
unpaid taxes for Chicago is list Of
nearly 1000 names of circuit and dis

WATERLOO MAN IS

w. w. MARSH is NOT A cANpI.
DATE TO SUCCEED WALSH
ON NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Withdrawal Is In the Interest Of Har.
many In the Democratic Party-oth.
er Names Appear in the List Of Pos.
slbiIities for Place.

Des Moines, Nov. IA political
sensation at the democratic head
quarters was created yesterday by the
receipt s2f a letter from Wilbur w.
Marsh or Waterloo, withdrawing his
name as candidate to succeed Charles
Walsh as member Of the democratic
national committee from Iowa. The
letter was as follows:
Waterloo, Nov. 13, 1906.-C. w.
Miller, Esq, Chairman Democratic
State Committee, Des Moines. Iowa.
My Dear Sir: l desire to thank you
and the other members of the state
committee for the efforts they have
made to have me appointed to the va
cancy on the national democratic
committee, and to say that I will not
be candidate for the place. take
this opportunity of thanking the demo
Gratis Of the state who have urged my
selection. While have not solicited
the support Of any man, I am not the
less appreciative Of the support of my
friends Yours very truly
"W. w. Marsh"
Came as Surprise.
This announcement on the part of
Mr.. Marsh that he would not be a
candidate came as a surprise to the
members of the committee, all of
whom had endorsed him to succeed
Walsh. They were unanimous in their
expression of gratitude to him for
the work which he did during the cam
paign just ended, and Chairman Miller
and the other democrats at headquar.
ters did not hesitate to say that he
had been exceedingly active in his sup.
port of the democratic ticket and had
left no legitimate way untried to bring
success. They referred to the result
In Blackhawk county. Mr.. Marsh's
home, which had been turned from
1881 plurality for Cummins in 1908
to about 400 plurality for Porter this
year.
The determination of Mr.. Marsh not
to be candidate will not, 1t seems
leave the field open to Cato Sells, for
the democratic state central commit
tee will be called to meet in Des
Moines at once to endorse some can
didate for the vacancy.
Several Names Up.
The most mentioned men are Dan
w. Hamilton of Sigourney, recently
elected to congress to succeed John F
Lacey; j. ID. Butler of Fort Dodge
Louis Murphy, editor Of the Times Her
aid Of Dubuque; former Congressman
M. j. Wade of Iowa City former Con
gressman w. H. Butler, H. G. Evans
and G. A. Huffman of Des Moines.
1t Is stated that Mr.. Marsh's with
drawal was in the interest of harmony
in the democratic party in Iowa. Il
was foreseen that the selection d
either Mr.. Marsh or Mr.. Sells would
tend to widen the breach, the effect ot
which brought about the defeat of Mr.
Porter In the late election. and for this
reason 1t is said that Mr.. Marsh de
cided to withdraw.
1t was also claimed that some of the
friends Of Mr.. Sells will urge that he
also withdraw to the end that a new
man may be selected in the hope thai
the motto Get together" which has
been displayed over the door Of the
democratic state headquarters may be
realized.
