Caucuses Saturday Night.
| A petitio1 is being circulated among
republican members of the house today
| 4. kD t,a H11l Syvp-
day night. Another petition is being
circulated for republican senate eau
Gus Saturday night. Democrats as yet
have. taken nc steps toward party
caucus and it is possible they will not
hold one until Monday morning.
| The contest for speakership of the
house is yet far from settled. It was
cleared somewhat yesterday by the
| announcement of Meredith, of Cass,
that he Is out Of the race. But just
where the honor will fall is matter Of
wide speculation. There was great
deal Of talk today about committee po-
sitions and 1t is, generally understood
that support is being traded to candi-
dates for speakership for committee
consideration. 1t was rumored that
Sullivan of Polk had withdrawn In ia
vor Of Felley of Blackhawk with the
understanding he Is to have judiciary.
This however, could not be confirmed
as Mr.. Sullivan is out of the city on
business.
Representative Darrah, of Lucas
county is an active candidate for the
honor. Representative White, of Story,
Marston, of Cerro Gordo and Lee, Of
Emmett, are all actively soliciting sup
port.
1t was stated yesterday by some of
the candidates that 1t is a, difficult
matter to get members to pledge them
selves, especially the new members.
They all want to look around little
first. 1t was said last night that over
so per cent of the republican members
Of the house are totally unpledged and
at liberty to act as they please. Rep
resentatlve Harding. of Woodbury..
claims to still be in the race, despite
the persistent claims that standp;ttters
are throwing their strength to FeeleH
or some other rather conservative pro-
gresSive.
Progressiyes say the standpatterS
have organized and will bolt the party
caneus for selection of speaker 1t the
progressives hold a separate caucus 10
select house officials before the party
caucus is held The standpatters are
charged with agreeing to vote for the
democratic candidate for speaker TO
prevent the progressives from getting
| the place.
