Des Moines, April 11.-What Will De
the political map of Iowa when the
Thirty third general assembly convenes
in January, 1909?
Varying ambitions and political con-
tingencies will result that the men VINO
made up the Thirty-second general as
sembly, which has just concluded a
three months session, will never again
be brought together in another legls-
lative assembly.
Farsighted work Of patriotic men has
done much during this session in allay-
ing factional spirit in the republican
party in Iowa, and with one or two men
from every county Of the state going
home to SOW the seed of united effort
aided by one of the best primary laws
ever enacted in any state 1T Is believed
that the work of this session will shine
in history as one of the greatest in the
annals of the state.
A large number Of the members OF
this general assembly will not ask for
re- election. In the senate there are
more than half whose four year term
expires before another session and II
they return they must seek reelection
| In the house, where the terms are bu'
| two years, every member must be re-
| elected If he returns. The Thirty-sec-
ond general assembly has had but 2!
of the members of the house of the
| Thirty first. There are SO many of tine
house members this session who are
serving their first term that it is an
lticipated that many of these will re.
| turn for next session.

much on his health, which has moi
been good this session.
Hopkins, of Guthrie, will not likely
| be a candidate for reelection That

lit has always been conceded that ex-
| Speaker Clarke could have it if he
