CANDIDACY
MONROE COUNTY MAN REGARD
ED AS LEADER IN SPEAKER
SHIP RACE
CHANGES HIS PLANS
Had Intended to Retire From LesIsIa-
tive Work, But When He Was Ap-
pointed on the Insurance Laws Com
mission He Determined to Again be
a Candidate.

Des Moines, April 9.--(Special) -
The announcement of N. 3. Kendalrs
candidacy for speaker of the next Iowa
house has started considerable COM
ment on the subject in the capital,
notwithstanding the Thirty-6rst
general assembly has only just ad-
journed
Mr.. Kendall has been one Of the
leaders on the floor of the house dur
ing the four sessions Of the general
assembly that he has been member,
and he is considered one Of the best
orators of the legislature For the
past two sessions he hat been chair
man of the house committee on judicf-
ary, and his service in that capacity
has caused much favorable comment
with all who have had w-rk with that
committee. In the Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-ninth general assemblies Mr..
Kendall was chairman of the house
committee on mines and mining.
4 1t was generally understood that Mr..
Kendall would not be a candidate for
reelection to the legislature. He had
been mentioned for the district bench,
and he had not intended to return to
Des Moines until Saturday when he
received a note from Senator Clarke
asking him to serve upon the insurance
investigation commission at the head
of the house members. Mr.. Kendall
then decided to make the race.
Thus far no candidate has announced
himself in Monroe county to succeed
Mr.. Kendall in the house, and 1t. Is
generally believed that. the voters OF
that county will return him to the
Legislature.
Had Intended to Retire.
Il had intended to retire from the
general assembly with the expiration
OF my present term in the house." said
Mr.. Kendall when seen Saturday night,
"but my appointment on the insurance
investigation commission seems to
justify my return. shall therefore
ask the generous people Of Monroe
county for reelection, and If am
successful, I shall be candidate FOR
speaker Of the house."
Mr.. Jepson of Woodbury. county, who
was considered most likely to succeed
Speaker Clarke, said yesterday that If
Mr.. Kendall were a candidate for the
chair he would support him, and
would not himself be a candidate un-
less something unexpected happened.
Captain Hart has been announced
as candidate for congress from the
Fourth district to succeed Mr. Haugen,
and this seems to leave the race for
the speakership with Mr.. Kendall, Mr..
Weeks and Mr.. Jones alone in the
field, although several Others have
been mentioned.
