Des Mo,nes Oct. 27.-Chaotic condi-
tons which seem to exist in the Sew
enth congressional district politically
at this tina may not be in such hope
less state as appears on the surface
friends OF both Senator Dowell and
Judge Prouty are every day coming
more AID more 10 the deteru matt On
-that Congressman Hull must be de-
feated at this time and that with Hull
lining up with Cannon for an out-ani-
out standpat fight in the home district
of Senator Cummins it will dscredit
the entire progressive movement in
Iowa TO allow him TO be returned to
congress-
1t Will be four years before Cummins
Will be up for reelection and ii is not
that his political future is endangered
but because of the black eye that will
be given the progressive movement to
allow Cannon adherent to be elected
The strongest friends of Judge Prougy
admit that Senator Dowell has some
arguments on his side and the strong
est friends of Senator Dowell admit
that there are reasons why Prou.y
should not be asked to get off
But the strongest friends of each are
saying that HUH must be defeated this
time at any cost and these friends are
liable to take the situation in one hand
one of these days and solve it. Just
what the solution will be no one would
attempt to predict. Many have solu-
tons all figured out but the chances
are the proper solution has not been
hit upon as yet.
1t can be truthfully said at this time
that there are more people in the Sew
enth district who are against the re-
election of Congressman Hull than
there ever was before because Of his
alignment with Cannon and Aldrlcn.
| Aside from all consideration of the
candidates opposed to him Huli's
chances of reelection are poorer at
this time than any time since he has
been in congress. His only hope Of re-
election is to have a very weak cand!-
date against him or else to have two
or more candidates against him and
this fact is every day being realized
more and more by the progressives Of
the district and by Hull and his friends
as we'll.
Hull has never run before on the
| platform he has adopted this time
Heretofore he has held out to his
friends that they could support him
and Cummins too. He has held out the
idea that he favored revision of The
tariff when the time comes" and the
/ impression has been abroad in Des
Moines that while Hull was stand :
patter in way yet he got things
for Des MONIES and that was what ne
was for
