DIES MONIES, May H.-(Special.) )-Con-
gresham ]. A. T. Hull is expected to
reach the city tomorrow morning and will
devote the remaining week and half Of
the primary election campaign to looking
after his fences in this district Much of
this time will be devoted to Polk county.
Just at this time there is considerable dis
cussion among the politicians as to what
will be the effect of the governors dec
laration for Prouty at the Monday night
meeting In the Auditorium. Hull men are
claiming that It will cost Governor Cum
minis 1000 votes. Cummins and Prouty
men say that It will cost Hull votes, but
will not lose the governor anything.
There is considerable interest in the Sew
enth district situation just at this time.
Hull has spent little time in the district
since the campaign opened. He has spent
practically all his time attending to his
duties in congress, while Prouty has been
touring the district making speeches Fur
thermore, Judge Prouty plans for the re-
mander OF the campaign, beginning
Thursday night, to have from two to four
meetings each night in Des Moines, with
speeches by himself and supporters. He
will Furthermore not neglect the other
counties in the district.
Yet, to all appearances, the Hull men
are not alarmed at the situation. They
feel confident that Hull will be victorious
Charles Johnston. who has always been a
supporter OF Hull, said today that Cum
minis will lose many votes by supporting
Prouty, but that he will not lose 1000
Johnston is an anti-Cummins man. He
said that Cummins will carry the Seventh
district by $500 to 1900 majority He be-
leves that Hull will carry It by close to
the same figures.
In all campaigns in former years Cum
Minis and Hulls interests have never
clashed. The election OF governor for the
| first two terms of Cummins were in odd
numbered years and the congressional cleo
ton in even numbered years. Two years
ago when the biennial election amendment
made a change there was no opposition to
Hull, and hence again no conflict.
Bids for Much Coal.
The State Board Of Control today began
advertising for bids for $1,000 tons of coal.
This will be the entire supply for next
winter for all the state institutions. four
teen in number. The state asks bids for
all kinds Of coal and then makes its selec-
| ton according to price. In many of the
state institutions high smokestacks have

the cheaper grades of coal.
FIavin to Rome.
Right Rev. Monsignor Flavin, pastor of
st. Ambrose Catholic church of this city,

to the Vatican. He will sail some time
next month and will be gone for six or
eight weeks.
