Des Moines, Aug. Ex-senator A, B.
Cummins will dispose of the biggest
political plum in the state of Iowa be-
fore he goes back to Washington early
next November. The plum will be the
Des Moines postoffice which pays So
600 a year salary and the duties of
which are not so arduous but that a
man can find little time to look after
other work. Many of the candidates for
the position had supposed that Senator
CuEnmins would not make his recon-
menda ton to President Taft for sew
eral months yet The commission Of
Postmaster Myerly is dated in Decem-
Der and runs till 1910 so it will be more
than year before the new man takes
the place.
The real race seems to be between
Louis c. kurtz and J. A. Dyer. Mr..
hurtz is hardware merchant here and
Mr. Dyer is an attorney. Both have
been strong friends and supporters of
senator Cummins John Tate. ex-
county clerk of Polk county and
Cummins admirer, is also a candidate
and l. A. Leisur, a University Place
banker is a candidate.
If w. G. Hale. editor of the Des
Moines Daily News had allowed the
use of his name he would have been
a formidable candidate for he has
scores of strong and influential friends.
His friends did considerable work for
hafnri ha l1,- l-ua
going on 1t is understood that he does
not desire TO be considered in the race
which leaves the real fight between
kurtz and Dyer. Both have strong
friends and influential supporters and
each has strong claims to the posi-
ton.
