Des Moines, Oct. 20.-Ex- Governor
Warren Garst stopped in Des Moines
today for a short time on his return
from Davenport, where he delivered
an address at the dedication of the
new Y. NJ. c. A. building. Governor
Garst refused to talk politics tho he did
ADMIT that he is receiving great many
letters urging him to become a candi
date for the republican nomination as
! governor of Iowa. He was however, en-
tlrely non-committal as to his own in
tentions in the matter
/ Governor Garst has rented the home
of Senator A. B. Cummins for the VIM
ter and will bring his family to Des
Moines from Coon Rapids and OCCUPY
he house the LIST of November when
'enator and Mrs. Cummins leave for
Washington. Governor and Mrs. Garst
ave resided in Des Moines during the
Tlhters for some years in order to keep
heir children in the schools here One
and the son will enter the Des Moines
west high school,
About political circles it is leaking
out that the far reaching plans of the
standpat Cannon element are that if
| Hull can be reelected to congress on
a Cannon platform, thus in measure
discrediting the insurgent movement in
Cummins' home district. it is proposed
two years later to run Hull for COVER
nor on the same platform and with
4 Cannon on the stump to assist him in
an effort to discredit the entire pro-
gressiye movement in the state of
Iowa.
The plans to discredit the insurgent
movement by re-electing Hull in Cum
i MINIS district on a strictly Cannon
standpat platform are so open that ey-
cry politician reaching Des Moines is
talking about them. Col Lafe Young
| in an interview in Washington has
just given it out that there is nothing
to the insurgent movement anyway but
an admiration on the part of some of
the people for Cummins and no INTEL
igent interest in the movement on the
part of the people. If Hull can be elect
ed as the avowed friend of Cannon and
after saying on the public platform
that Cannon should be reelected
/ speaker as long as he lives 1t is thought
by the standpatters that they will have
proved LATE Young's statement.
Then to follow this up two years la
ter by electing Hull as governor of the
state of Iowa would be considered by
the standpatters as the greatest vic
A tory they ever won, and would put to
sleep the entire progressive movement
in Iowa and weaken it in the entire
4 west. The scheme is not one to which
entire credit is due to Iowa standpat-
4 rers. The scheme was first Matched in
the east. The interests of the east look
with apprehension on this insurgent
4 movement and they propose to punish
Senator's Dolliver and Cummins and
have an end to the idea of legislating
in the interests of the people.
II Of course if Hull should be defeated
for reelection to congress it would
badly upset the entire plans, and 1t
seems at this time as tho he might be
defeated. The progressive or insurgent
movement in the Seventh is not as
badly divided as the surface conditions
might indicate and while it may be
some surprise to the friends of Cap
tain Hull to learn it the fact is never
the less true that there will be but
one candidate in the field against Hull
when the campaign really opens II
has frequently been said in the news
papers that neither Howell or Prouty
would withdraw in favor of the other
The fact is both of them have offered
to withdraw if Senator Cummins woulo
indicate which one should get off the
race track. Senator Cummins of course
} can not do this and will not do it since
both of them are his friends but friends
, of Howell and Prouty will get them to-
gether. 1t is not impossible that both
might withdraw tho this is unlikely
, since there is no other candidate men
toned who is exactly available.

Information here that seems to nav
leaked back from Washington is to tn
effect that Col. LATE Young would lik
to get the ministry to China that i
left untitled by the recalling of Charlie
F. Crane. This position must be file
by appointment soon and it formerl
! was occupied by an Iowa man. Fur
thermore under the present admins
tration Iowa does not have as man
Of the lucrative appointments as it for
merly did and can rightly claim some
thing at the hands of President Tai
The position Of minister to Chin
would just about suit Colonel YOUNG
1t is understood that formerly he want
ed the appointment to Mexico whic
is much better position than that
China. He found that Mexico was out
side of his grasp. For some time Their
has been some uncertainty as to jus
what he could ask for when suddenl
the Crane affair came up which lei
a vacancy in China.
