LACEY FOR SENATOR.
CONGRESSMAN QUOTED AS SAY
ING HE MAY BE CANDIDATE
FOR PLACE.

Des Moines, Dec. 5.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Register and
Leader today says:
Representative John F. Lacey of
the Sixth district is very likely to be
a candidate for the senate whenever
Senator Allison retires. Major Lacey
admits frankly that he is considering
the matter and some Of his friends be-
lieve that he has definitely made up
his mind to this end.
Major Lacey talked over his plans
with The Register and Leader repre-
sentative at the White house today,
where he went to call on President
Roosevelt He said he had no notion
of taking an appointment. He said
he had fully determined to go back to
Iowa and practice law; that he had
a good practice and that he never
wanted it said of him that he was a
political pauper,' and had to have an
appointive office because he could not
be reelected to congress.
Whether he would run for congress
again two years from now, Major La
cey said he was not determined. He
said he was being urged by many
friends from various parts of Iowa 10
become a candidate for senator and
to go after that office actively when
Senator Allison retires. He admitted
without hesitation that he would be
pleased to hold so high an Office as
that of senator from Iowa. Major La
cey is understood to feel that a prl
mary law will be passed by the time
he runs for senator and that he would
win over Cummins in such test.
"The fact that he is seriously con
sidering the senatorship will undoubt
edly arouse interest in. Iowa political
circles, where Major Lacey's energy
and political sagacity are well under
stood"
