Des Moines, Aug. 26.-W. G. Hale,
editor Of the Daily News Of this city
today addressed a letter to Senator A.
B. Cummins saying that he is not a
candidate for appointment to the post
Office in Des Moines and asking Sem
ator Cummins not to consider him in
that connection. He assured the sem
ator that his support Of him in the past
and the support the News had given
him was solely because the News be-
lieves in the principles for which Sen
ator Cummins stands and without any
idea that he or anyone connected with
the News would profit politically there
by and assuring the senator of further
support on the same grounds.
AS pointed out yesterday this reduces
the postmastership fight in Des Moines
practically to race between Louis G..
Kurtz and Joseph A. Dyer each Of
whom has an almost unlimited list Of
friends. In any event it is believed that
the settling of the postmastership fight
here will be done in a way that it will
have no bearing whatever on the con-
gressional campaign, in the Seventh
district as it is we'll understood that
as between his friends Judge Prouty
and Senator Dowell, Senator Cunlmins
will make no choice and 1T would be
unfair to ask him to make a choice

to him.
To some extent there has been an
impression that sooner or later SEN
|ator Cummins would interest himself
in the affairs Of the seventh district
and dn gentle way eliminate either
Judge Prouty or Senator Dowell.
There is not the slightest foundation
in fact for such belief and every
reason to believe otherwise.
Three times Senator Dowell has side
stepped and eliminated himself from
the field in the interests Of some other
candidate. Three times Judge Prou,y
has been a candidate. Each campaign
had its peculiarities but the last time
Prouty for the first time had the adj
vantage of the primary and came with
in "A votes Of winning. He thinks
he has license to believe that this
time he will win and is getting daily
assurances from former Hull support
ers that would convince some Of the
most skeptic.
On the other hand there comes a
time when a ca 4didate can not longer
eliminate himself with honor to him.
self. Senator Dowelrs friends think
that time has arrived now for him
They say he must lose his self respect
If ne gets out another time. Hence
there Is no doubt dn the world but that
there will be three candidates out in
the seventh district this year, viz: Hull,
Prouty and Dowell.
Congressman Hull is having troubles
of his own in the Seventh district For
instance, down in Madison county
which has been the strongest strong
hold Hull had In the Seventh district,
they are complaining that because Of
their steadfastness in their support
they get nothing. That is to say, that
the county is so strongly tied to Hull
to throw any political plums that way.
Madison county at the last primary
gave Hull a plurality Of $50 votes and
| Marion county gave Prouty plurality
Of 259 votes. Hull had thrown the Sew
enth district census enum erator ap-
pointment to Cam tCulbertson of Mar
ion county. Thus Marion which has
never done anything for Hull gets q
prize package IN the way OF fine
political job while Madison which has
always supported him gets nothing.
The Madisonian published at Win
terest says some one had defined graf
itude as "a lively appreciation Of fav-
ors yet to come" and thinks this is
holding true in the case Of Madison
county's. experience with Hull
go
Whitehall Marshall will not be seen
at the Iowa state fair this year. White
hall Marshall is $4,000 Shorthorn
bull purchased from Frank Harding of
Waukesha, Wis, by the Elmsdorff
stock farm in Kentucky. For the past
several years there has been stiff
contest between Whitehall Marshall
and other Shorthorns at the Iowa state
fair for the first prize. This year the
Elmsdorff farm will have King Cum
berland at the head of the herd and
Harding will have Eidelight. Neither
of the animals has ever been shown
lat the Iowa state fair before. Iowa is
one Of the greatest Shorthorn states
in the Union and Shorthorn lovers will
be much interested in the many new
Shorthorns that win be exhibited this
year and there will be some disap-
pointments in not seeing more Of the
Whitehall Marshall strain.
Among the horse exhibits this yeal
there will be two especial attractions
One will be the Percheron owned by
Crouch Of Lafayette. Ind, which cap
tured the first prize In France last
year and the other will be the Russian
breed of horses which will be shown
by De Glow of Cedar Rapids.
