CATO SELLS FROM IOWA
Likely to Succeed Charles A. Walsh
on Committee.

Des Moines, Sept 2o.-Hon Cato
Sells, Of Vinton, was in the city yester-
Law having just returned from the
south where he has large business In.
terests
There is strong pressure being
brought to bear on Mr.. Sells to allow
his name to be presented for demo-
cratic national committeeman from
Iowa. to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Charles A. Walsh.
There is no question but what the
democrats are lining up for 1908, and
they naturally turn to Mr.. Sells as the
true representative Of William j.
Bryan Mr.. Sells was chairman Of the
Iowa delegation to the Kansas City
convention Of 1900 and was influential
in bringing about the nomination OF
Mr.. Bryan in that convention. so far
there has been but one name announce
ed-that of W. W. Marsh Of Waterloo.
Mr.. Marsh's affiliations in the I.HA
have not been with Mr.. Bryan norias
it believed now that he is what >4Hd
be called true Bryan man. Thesmat-
ter Of his vacancy is in the hands OF
the national democratic committee and
it is understood that this committee is
in sympathy with the purpose OF nomi-
mating Mr.. Bryan. If that is 50 it would
seem as though Mr.. Sells would have
the inside track and that Mr.. Marsh's
name would hardly be considered iii
this connection.
The national committee is liable to
take the matter up within month or
so and will then determine it.
From a personal standpoint it would
seem as though Mr.. Sells would have
the advantage as he has been an active
participant in democratic politics in
this state for the past thirty years.
Probably no other democrat In the
state has as wide an acquaintance
| with the members of his party Of ma
| tional repute. 1t will likely be a pretty
fight with the chances in favor of Mr..
| Sells.

Final AdIournment.

The date of final adjournment, orig
inally set for Tuesday morning at s
o'clock was changed to Wednesday morn
Ing, and finally to Thursday at the same
hour. Wednesday, the last day OF the ses-
sion. was spent mainly in conference be-
tween the two houses. The last measure
of Importance acted on was the automo-
bile bill, the essential provisions of which
are summarized in another paragraph. 1t
was after 10 o'clock Wednesday night
when final agreement on this bill was
reached. Then. after the usual exchange
of courtesies between the two houses and
the governor a recess was taken until s
O'Clock Thursday morning. The closing
proceedings at that hour were of the most
informal character. There were half
dozen senators present and about Is
representatives. The president and
speaker merely raped for order and
then pronounced each house adjourned
in agreement with the joint resolution.
The closing hours were marked by the
greatest good feeling and, in mirth music
and harmless foolery. the most notable
session of recent years passed into his
tory.
