manifested, it appears in Iowa, on the
question of whether Senator Dolliver
will favor the choice of D. c. Chase OF
Webster City or Tobin Of Vinton fol
district attorney. Mr.. Chase is from
Senator Delivers district and in case
Senator Dolliver should support him
he would be formidable factor in the
| patronage situation in the northern
district Senator Dolliver will not dis
close his intentions.
1t may be set down as certain, how
ever, that Senator Dolliver and Sena-
tor Allison, will adhere to the program
| for appointments in northern Iowa as
! they have for some months been made
up. Senator Dolliver will not support
Mr.. Chase's aspirations. He cannot
ready has more than it's share of the
federal patronage and federal offices.
1t has one senator, director of the
mint, a solicitor of the treasury and
one bank examiner To get Mr.. Chase
appointed as attorney might mean that
the Tenth district would have to lose
some Of the other offices it now holds
sooner or later.
Col. NJ. L. Temple of Osceola, has
been in the city several days. He has
expressed confidence that he will soon
be the choice Of the Iowa delegation
and of President Roosevelt as the suc-
cessor Of Lewis Miles as United States
attorney. r. H. Spence, who also
it is all settled that Temple is to have
the job.
There is a great deal of talk about
the matter among the legislators ar
irving in the city. It seems that the
situation as to federal patronage in the
state is not pleasing to the progress
sive republicans who feel that after
they have won out in everything in the
state and have backed up the president
heartily, it would be ungracious on
the part of the president to consent to
the filling Of all the good federal pos
itions in Iowa with radical stand
patters. 1t has also been pointed out
that the entire slate for federal jobs
is backed by men who have been most
active in opposing the presidents pro-
gram and many of whom openly bolt
ed the ticket in Iowa this year.
1t is stated that Governor Cumlnins
is taking no part in the fight, but that
leaders in the party organizations in
the state, are active in trying to break
the slate.
That 2. G. Thornburg is more than
willing, even anxious, to perform the
duties of county superintendent, was
the statement contained in motion to
dissolve an injunction preventing Mrs.
Huegle from entering the office of
county superintendent, fled by Mrs.
Huegle in the district court. The mo-
ton will probably be heard today be-
fore Judge Miller or Judge McHenry.
Mrs. Huege retaliates in her motion
to the accusations made by Mr.. Thorn
burg that she is not qualified and is
ineligible to the office, by declaring
that she has q first grade certificate,
secured in Lucas county from Superin-
tendent Laura Fitch.
qualified, eligible and has first grade
has not sufficient ground to form an
opinion. She claims that she was duly
elected to the office by the electors of
Polk county and that her bond is good.
The motion asks that the injunction
be dissolved. that her bond be approved
and that she be declared qualified for
the office to which she was elected.
The Injunction proceeding was start
ed at the instigation of Mr.. Thornburg,
who is now acting superintendent Of
Polk county. The law says that in
case his successor does not qualify, he
shall hold over and enjoy the emolu-
ments Of the Office.
A number of senator's have been mem
toned for presidency of the senate.
This honor was conferred upon Sena-
tor James A. Smith, Of Mitchell coun-
ty, in the session OF 1904, and contin-
ued in 1906.
Mr.. Smith has been mentioned in
connection with the honor for this ses-
sions, as have Senator C. C. Dowell, of
Des Moines, Senator Joseph Mates, of

1t is not an honor for which there
are candidates. and 1t will be be-
slowed by the senate by sort of gen.
sral agreement which will be arrived
At before the caucus for organization.
This caucus is likely to be held Fri
lay afternoon at the same time as that
IF the house, tho Saturday has been

The state board Of educational ex-
aminers is holding session to take
up and solve some of the knotty prob
ems which have followed the applica-
ion of the new law i'm regard to GER
.ificates.
The chief matter under discussion
vas that of the applications for GER
ificates which are somewhat out OF
he ordinary and which did not come
lnder the prescribed rules, such as
county primary certificates and kim
iergarten certificates. A number of
such cases have come to the atten-
