IOWA IDEA is POPULAR.
CONTINUED From Page ~

his own district, the entire matter will
be disposed of in one ballot. as, obvi-
ously the senators would vote with
the majority, in fact if the senators
were disposed to do otherwise they
would be out voted five to two. If,
however, two candidates from differ
ent districts are named for the same
office, then some little time will be re-
quired to reach conclusion and with
the congressman divided the senators
hold the balance of power, or it may
be, as Is often the case, the senators
do not unite on one man. For exam
pie. when United States Judge was
to be chosen to succeed Judge Shiras,
of Dubuque, two years ago, Senator
iDolliver was for T. D. Healey and
Senator Allison was for Judge Reed
But the balloting continues, with
everybody on an equal footing until
the question is worked out; until an
agreement has been reached and when
that end has been accomplished the
senators call upon the President and
inform him that the delegation for
the northern district Of Iowa has had
q meeting and unanimously recon-
mend the appointment Of so-and-so
for various offices to become vacant
June 80. The two senators and the
six congressman from the southern
district have a meeting and go
through the same performance The
determination of the way in which the
pie" shall be cut at this caucus is
rather more difficult, however, as there
are six districts and only five offices.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS viii be threshed

though 1t may take fourteen weeks,
as it did four years ago, to reach a
conclusion, the conclusion will be
reached and when 1t Is reached it will
be unanimous and the President will
never know officially that any difficult

the candidates.

been the custom for the senators to
congressman. Where the senators
terms this plan has not been SO bad
tors are antagonistic and each has his
own slate there is trouble and the
President has tc shoulder most of it
One senator plugs for his man and
the other for his and the President
must choose, and in SO doing he in
evitably incurs the hostility not only
of the senator but of his entire fol-
lowing.
Last week the Nebraska delegation,
including the senators, had a meeting
to fill vacancy and the Allison"
plan was adopted with satisfactory
conclusion. Senator Long says that
he regards the Iowa method as the
only proper and logical one and that
he shall recommend its adoption by
the Kansas delegation. Other delega-
lions are considering the question of
stealing the Allison" method.
