Des Moines, April 11.-Alarmed a
the situation in the Seventh distric
rs it Is pictured to him by his friends
Congressman Hull is to return to Des
Noines to look after his campaign fol
ro1urn to congress for a ninth term
From standpat sources it is learned
that he will reach Des Moines April &c
and his first efforts will be to find
someone to manage his campaign UNI
less he follows the example of Judge
Prouty and manages his own campaign
The fact is that the situation in the
Seventh district is alarming to 1.-The
standpatters and it is having some
bad effects on the other districts. The
withdrawals of Cousins and Birdsall
have all had their effect to discomfort
tho standpat machine.
Congressman Prouty is conducting a
speaking campaign. He will make a
large number OF speeches in the district
besides making number in other dis
tricts In the interests Of Governor
Cummins. This campaign both in the
districts and in state affairs is q cam
! paiRn of education tho it is known
that the standpatters have a consid-
cradle supply Of money. 1t is more than
4 possible that Captain Hull may take
the stump and travel about the district
for perhaps the first time in his long
/, sixteen years of office holding.
