ALLISON AND LACEY.

Writing to the Marshalltown Times
Republican, Ora Williams, their Des
Moines correspondent, says:
Information is had from a very re-
liable source that the plans are decid-
ed upon with a certain element of the
republican party that if Senator ALI
son is not a candidate for reelection
to the senate ex-Congressman John F.
Lacey will be the candidate of that
faction as most nearly next to ALI
son meeting their political ideas.
From this same source it is claimed
that Allison desires to be candidate
for reelection, mis- decision hinging
entirely on the condition of mis- health
later when the campaign is about to-
open. 1t has been intimated previous
ly that Congressman Smith, of the
Ninth, would be candidate with 9th
ers against Lacey, but the intimatio1.
now is that next to Allison the Blythe
and standpat forces are ready to unite
for Lacey as their candidate. Wheth-
er or not the fact that Lacey Is now
Oul VI d pOllllCdl JOD Nlillt OlllltH 9Nii
holds Office has anything to do with
the decision is not known. 1t is re-
called that in Washington Lacey gave
out an interview just following the
election last November in which ne
stated his determination to become a
candidate for the United States sen
ate. AS he did not specify it was
thought by some that he intended to
make a fight against the field, includ-
ing Allison. There seemed to be some
ground for this conclusion because Of
Lacey's radical anti-tariff revision
statements in comparison with the
statements of Allison that possibly in
the next session of congress the tariff
is certain TO pe an important issue"
There seemed to be grounds for be-
lieying that Lacey was to be the can
didate of the radical anti-tariff revis-
ionists in opposition to Allison. 1t Is
intimated now, however, that this is
not TO be. Lacey will be candidate
for the senate only in case Allison Is
not a candidate. Politicians do not
look for any change in the senatorial
situation for some months. In the
interview that he gave out in Pittsburg
tne first of the week Governor Cum
minis confirmed the announcement of
his friends that he is candidate for
the United States senate. Later it is
a1ticipated he may give out formal
statement of his candidacy. The
next important move as anticipated
now will be the decision OF Allison
whether to be a candidate or not
1t is too early to make predictions,
but there is one thing sure, Major
Lacey win never be a candidate
against Senator Allison and Allison
is an ayUwed candidate. The people
Of Iowa will take care of Senator Al
lison. Iowa will not voluntarily va
cate her present position at the mead
of the senate.
