IOWA SPEAKERSHIPS
STILL IN DOUBT
FeeIey Of Black Hawk Has the Best
Chance of Final Success-The
Chief CIerkship.
[Gate City Special Service.


DIES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. S.-The
contest over the speaker of tie house
of the thirty-third general assembly
is very much in doubt. Harding of
Newburg, stand-patter, will probably
have the largest vote at the start.
Feeley and White and Lee will get
the bulk of the progressive votes. 1t
looks as though Feeley of Black Hawk
has the best chance of final success.
In the senate the contest over the
chief clerkship is very close. Dr.
Newman has sixteen votes certain and
possibly two more. 1t requires eigh-
teen votes to nominate. Both he and
Neal are confident of nominations.
Senator Whipple, one of Newman's
supporters, is sick and may not be
able to attend the caucus Saturday.
