Hull in this district The situation
changes with the suddenness of ka-
lcidoscope al times and politicians have
been kept busy keeping track OF the
changes. The postoffice at Indianola
seems now likely to play a conspicu-
Gus part in the probable opposition.
Evan B. Dowell of Indianola has been
postmaster at that place for eight
years. He is editor of the lndianola
Record and is Il progressive and
brother of Senator g. c. DoWell or
Des Moines. who is spoken of prom
inently as a probable candidate against
Congressman Hull There are other
candidates in Indianoa for the post
office honor. r. r. Anderson. editor
of the lndianola Herald, is a candi-
date for the position. Anderson Is
standpattcr like Congressman Hull. Dr.
Surber and George Speer are also can
didates for the honor. Surber is chair
man of the county central committee.
Warren county is in the Seventh dis
trict along with Polk county. If Dow
ell runs for congress against HUI.
Hull may not take kindly to the idea
of naming Il. B. Dowell for postmas-
ter at lndanola. Again. it may be that
Hull has already determined not to
reappoint DoWel Anderson was
postmaster many years ago at Indian
ola before Dowell.

Washington. March 24.-Congress-
man Hull said today that he had posi-

Prouty, of Des Moines, is going to be
a candidate for the republican con-
gressional nomination in the Seventh
district
ut has been rumored for a long
time he said, that Prouty would
come out against me. Some of my
friends have been writing me that he
had decided not to run. But have
received advices from which l am sat
isfed that he intends to get into the
race very soon. l am not afraid of the
effect so far as l am concerned, but of
course it is bound to mix up things in
the district as concerns the governors
candidacy for senator"
Captain Hull thinks he can win cas-
lily enough. The anti-Cummins mem
bers Of the delegation opine that if
Prouty runs against Hull it will force a
mix-up in the district that will injure
the governor.
