May Be CONTEST
IN the Third
c. b. PICKETT MAY COME OUT AS
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-
MAN BIRDsALL'S SEAT.

Sioux City Journal That Charles
d. Pickett of Waterloo will contest
this year with Representative Benja-
min P Birdsall for the republican
nomination for congress from the
Third district, now seems certain. A
formal announcement of his candl,
dacy may appear any day.
Mr.. Pickett is law partner OF
Charles w. Mullan. former attorney
general of Iowa. He has been grand
exalted ruler of the Elks and grand
chancellor of the knights of Pythias
of Iowa. He was born in Van Buren,
county, Iowa, and in 1872 moved with
his parents to Blackhawk county,
where he lived on farm many years.
Mr.. Pickett was graduated from the
Waterloo high school in 1884 and
from the collegiate department of the
state university in 1888, and from the
law department in 1890. Since 1895
Mr. Pickett has been regent of the
state university.
Mr. Pickett was temporary chair
man of the republican state conven-
ton in 1899 He never has been a
candidate for political Office.
1t seems Judge Birdsall will also
have the opposition of Burton E..
Sweet of Waverly, whose candidacy
already has been announced. The
manner of the announcement of the
Sweet candidacy. which was made in
an editorial of the Waverly Indepen-
dent, has brought on an open break
between Mr.. Sweet and Edward
Knott Of Waverly, United States at
torney, who always have been close
F,;o Ie, oivl ar
candidacy of Mr.. Sweet the Indepen-
dent took pains to invite the opposi-
tion of Mr.. Knott. In signed COM
munication to the Waverly Republl-
| can last week Mr.. Knott said he had
been informed that the obnoxious
statement with regard to himself had
been inserted in the Independent S
editorial at the request of Mr.. Sweet.
Mr. Knott called upon Mr.. Sweet for
an explanation of a number of such
statements in newspapers. Mr.. Sweet
denied responsibility for the state
ments, but when Mr. Knott asked him
to make public denial Of them he re-
fused
''rhis led me-" Mr.. Knott said in his
communication, ito believe there was
"a niger in the woodpile' somewhere,
for until this moment have been
Burton E. Sweets loyal friend. No
brother could ever have done more
than l have tried to do for him. In ev-
cry political fight he has had have
| been with him and he with me. We
have always worked together and he
has always been with the standpat-
tiers. Now, since his visits to Des
Moines, 1t seems he wishes the pro-
gressives' to know that he has broken
with me. He still persists to me that
he is my friend
Mr.. Knott concludes by declaring
he is in favor Of the denomination OF
Judge Birdsall and adds he would be
an migrate and coward If he should
not be.
