Why NOT?

Des Moines CAPITALIZATION John F.
Lacey has retired from congress and
will resume his law practice at Oska-
loosa. Thousands of his friends will
want him to stand for United States
senator as the successor of Allison,
when Allison passes away. This
phrase must be used because Lacey
would not think of being candidate
against Allison. With Lacey in the
senate, Iowa prestige would be main
tanned.
The Iowa press and the press of the
country for that matter, is unanimous
in the opinion that congress lost one
of its hardest workers, one of its
deepest thinkers and one Of its most
able men when Major John F. Lacey
retired as congressman from the Sixth
Iowa district. But the press. as the
Capital article indicates, does not be-
lieve Lacey's retirement is more than
temporary. The Capitals concluding
sentence, with Lacey in the senate,
Iowa's prestige would be maintained
is a statement that should be given
great weight when the time comes to
name successor to Senator Allison.
