Renewed Interest Awakened in
Federal Appointment and
Roosevelt Takes Notice
sTlvERs DOESN'T MlNcE WORDS
osceoIa Paper Says Temple Has Not
Earned the Confidence or Support Of
His Neishbors-If Delegation Does
No. Act on Monday, There Will Be
New Deal All Around.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, March 1.-The news
from Washington to the effect that the
Iowa delegation will make an effort on
the last day before the congress comes
to an end to parcel out the federal
patronage among the members caused
a great deal of interest among the
members Of the legislature and the
politicians the past few days. The sug-
gestiorl made by Senator Allison, also,
to the effect that there was danger
Of President Roosevelt making the ap-
pointments, is taken to mean that the
president has actually made known
something of his wishes in the matter
and that it is now known among the
members of the delegation that some
OF the names on the slate are not
agreeable to the president. In regard
to the trouble in landing the place for
Col NJ. L. Temple, the statement that
the opposition to him proceeds from
personal enemies In his county and es-.
pecially from Henry Stivers, editor of
the Osceola Democrat, is known to have
little foundation In the last number
of the Democrat, Mr.. Stivers sets this
right. He says:
s"This statements as absurd as 1t Is
untrue. Mr.. Stivers is a democrat and
is taking no part whatever in the dis
stribution or recommendation of repub-
.iiean officials. He has not written a
sentence or a word to any congress-
snaii, senator or officer of the govern
4ment from the president down, touch.
ing upon Mr.. Temple or his candidacy.
He has never interviewed or in any
way approached any such official in
regard to Mr.. Temple or his ambitions.
The opposition to Mr.. Temple is much
more weighty and more forcible than
any which could emanate from Mr..
Stivers. Mr.. Stivers regrets that in
this, the most pretentious aspiration of
Mr.. Temples life, he is not supported
by record for sincerity and fidelity
which would make it pleasure for all
his neighbors and local associates to
cordially support him. If in this en-
ergency nine out of ten of our home
people have no sympathy for Mr.. Tenn
pie and are giving him no support, it
is his own fault and due wholly to the
record he has made for himself in this
community. Had his life and prac-
tices been marked by integrity, nobili-'
ty and sincerity, he might hAve had the
backing at this time of a host of home
friends, democrats and republicans
alike, which would have proven tow
er Of strength"

SAYS SENATE SOLD OUT.
Sensational Charges Made Against
United States Congress.

Madrid, March IA sensation has
been caused here by the publication Of
a story, credited to the Diario de la
Marina of Havana, which purports to
snow by documentary evidence that the
U. S. congress was bought, In 1897 by
Tomas Estranda Palma to ensure war
being declared against Spain.
According to the Havana newspaper,
bonds to the value of $37,000,000, re-
deemable when Cuba should become in
dependent were issued in Washington
to senators, and contract exists,
which contains phraseology like that OF
the joint resolution Of April, 1898, voted
by congress. The article says further
that the value of the bonds fell heavi-
ly in 1899, and therefore new con-
tract was made between Palma and the
American senators.
Count Salaza, minister of foreign af-
fairs, has telegraphed to the Spanish
representative at Washington for the
fullest information.
