Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, June s.-Standps
are already discussing who will. be the
! successor to Dolliver. The possibility of
Dolliver being named for vice president
one the ticket with Taft may have has
tened the discussion but it is believed
| that the discussion was inevitable any
way, for it is we'll known that the stand
patters have no particular love for
Dolliver except as Dolliver is fighting
Cummins. Just now they feel pro-
foundly grateful to him for having en-
tered the fight against Cummins. But
this will not deter them from seeking
to get his seat
The standpatters Of Des Moines are
talking of Frank D. Jackson. Lafe
Young would like to have it but other
than himself the standpatters gener-
ally realize that because Of the state
. bindery scandal his candidacy is an
impossibility Congressman Walter L.
Smith has been mentioned in times
past as a possible candidate for sena-
tor from Iowa but just now in the dis
cussion among the standpatters the
runor is going about that there is to
be a vacancy in the circuit court OF
appeals and that Judge Smith McPher-
son is to be moved up to the court OF
appeals and Smith is to be given Nc
Pherson's seat of the federal bench in
the southern district of Iowa. Smith
was judge on the district bench OF
the state court when he was elected to
congress.
1t is recognized that Congressman
Haugen, of the Fourth congressional
a senator from Iowa. The standpatters
tried to get him to come out as a can
didate for governor against Garst and
held out to him that II he would do so
1t would put him in line to be United
States senator. He declined and is un-
derstood to have taken the position
that it would be as easy for him to go
to the senate from the house as from
the governors chair. This situation
makes him a possibility among the
candidates.
Then it is well known that Secretary
Shaw has ever an admiring circle of
friends among the standpatters who
suggest his name every time there Is
a political office to be filed
There is of course no surety that
there will be a vacancy on the United
States district bench Of Iowa and II
there is none Congressman Smith
would be a likely standpat candidate
for senator. The hostility of the bulk
of the progressives to Judge McPher-
son is we'll known. When at Council
Bluffs he said things not considered
in keeping with the dignity of judge
on the bench, he only added cause for
their hostility to him, and with five
or six progressive congressman down
at Washington from this state there
is no surety that Mcpherson would go
up higher on the bench.
Visitors at the Iowa state fair will
have an opportunity to see a herd Of
circus horses. e. B. Cimijotta, of Ma
son City, is preparing to show his herd
at the fair. He has in fact two herds.
One he calls snowballs, because they
are pure white and the other lsabellas.
These latter are cream -colored with
white names and tails. He is arrang-
ing to- take them to England, where
they will be shown and will exhibit
them at the state fair on the way.
They will be introduced as part Of the
night attraction at the stock pavilion.
They are especially intelligent as they
are bred to be trained to go thru all
sorts of circus ring stunts.
One of the things that defeated Lieu
tenant Governor Warren Garst for
nomination as governor was the circu-
lation Of senate file No. 222. This was
started in Des Moines at the time the
street car men were in session here.
Senate file No. 222 was introduced by
Garst and was Sunday closing bill.
It closed everything up tight, including
parks and places Of amusement, where
money is charged This bill was circu-
lated all over the state to sthe liberal
element only. On the other hand there
is no doubt that many radical prohibi-
ton people and church members voted
for Hamilton because of his platform
which further aided In Garst's defeat.
1t is learned that all along the line
of the Northwestern railroad the word
was passed that Bleakley and Carroll
must be nominated at all hazards. OF
course this was In order that the pro-
gressives should be kept off the execu-
tive council Carroll Wright, of the
Rock Island railroad made political
speech in Valley Junction night or
two before the primary in which he
virtually told the workmen to vote the
standpat ticket or have no work. He
spoke for the standpat ticket and told
them Of the slack work and idle cars
and then informed them that the in
terests OF the company We're the in
terests Of the employees. OF course they
could draw their own conclusion.
