SUCCESSOR TO DoLLIvER.
Many WeII-known Men Mentioned to
Succeed Distinguished Senator.

Des Moines, Oct. 17.-After Dolli-
yer who? That is the question right
ahead of the people of Iowa.
Nobody had given the slightest
thought to successor to Senator
Dolliver. He was in his prime. He
was morally sure of reelection, prob
ably without opposition. The state
campaign was being run without any
regard to any possible senatorial
crisis. The candidates for the legis-
lature had been selected with no
thought that it would ever be up to
them to decide such question. Prob
ably there is not anyone in the state
who could give any near guess at
the leanings of half the candidates.
If the death of Senator Dolliver
had occurred one week ago, it would
then have been required that the yot-
ers of the state take a vote on the
senatorship at the general election
Nov. s. 1t is too late now.
If there had been such primary
there would have been shown up a
large list of candidates.
1t is now up to the governor tc
make an appointment and among the
well-known men mentioned for the
place are Walter |. Smith, member OF
Congress from the Ninth district;
VIM. p Hepburn, Warren Garst
Frank d. Jackson, Lafayette Young
Geo. D. Perkins, H. w. Byers, A. b
Funk, John F. Lacey, Ebert M. Hub

followed Mr.. Dolliver developed more
strength than any other candidate.
but was unable to secure enough to
nominate. The opposition succeed
ed in combining against him and re-
nominated A. j. Holmes of Boone
county for a third term. Two years
later, however, Mr.. Dolliver was nom
mated In the convention at Webster
City, and at no time subsequently, did
he have any serious opposition for
denomination. He was renominated
by reclamation every year up to and
including 1900. The death of Sena-
tor John H. Gear, July IA, 1900, left
a vacancy in the senate which the
friends and admirers of Congress-
man Dolliver felt he was entitled, by
his long and able service in the
house, to receive. Governor Shaw
rendered to Mr.. Dolliver on Aug. %,
1900, the appointment to be United
States senator to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Gear,
and the appointment was accepted.
Mr.. DolliVer at once resigned az
member of congress and Judge ]. p.
Conner of Crawford county was NOM
mated and elected to succeed him.
The appointment of Mr.. Dolliver was
at once found to be so strong with
the people, that all thought of oppos-
ition faded away and he was left
clear field, both for the vacancy and
for the full term following, and for
reelection in 1907.
Mr.. Dolliver was married Nov. 20,
1895, to Miss Louise Pearsons, daugh-
ter of George r. Pearsons of Fort
Dodge, who, while she was born in
Vermont, has lived in Iowa practical
ly since she was 2 years old. She is
graduate Of Wellesley college in
the class of 1889, and is woman Of

In recent interview, James B.
Morrow asked Senator Deliver:

ator answered:

giles, such as other young men under
similar circumstances have had, but
it was not long until the people OF
Dolliver boys were made Of good
stuff and that there were some
things they could do better than 9TH
ers.
The future senator soon gained
local reputation as a speaker and it
spread to the surrounding counties
until he was frequently called upon
for public addresses, lectures, etc. In
1884 a friend, the late DR.. Charles
Beardsley of Burlington, who was
chairman of the republican state
committee, told the committee about
this wonderful young man from Vir-
GINA with the gift of oratory and the
brains and industry and ambition to
put something besides high-sounding
phrases into his speeches. So Mr.. Dol
liver was invited to be temporary
chairman of the republican state con-
vention in Des Moines in April, 1884.
The speech he made then lifted
him from the obscurity of a country
law office into national fame. 1t
was the rising of a new star in the
political armament and its power and
brilliancy were at once recognized
by the republican leaders in charge
of the national convention. Mr.. Dol
liver was called east and bore a con-
spicuous part in that memorable cam
paign, travelling for a time and speak
ing with James G. Blaine, the repub-
lican nominee for the presidency in
that year. In every campaign since
then Mr. Dolliver has assisted his
party wherever he was most needed.
Experience and study have ripened
him into an orator who not only APP
peals to the sentiment and arouses
the enthusiasm of partisans, but con.
vinces the judgment of the honest
inquirer who, without partisan pre-,

Sketch of Jonathan Prentiss DolIiver.
1t was with difficulty that men,
gathering in groups in public places
and in drawing rooms in this city,
discussed the sorrow that fell upon
Iowa with the passing of Jonathan p.
Dolliver.
1t was significant of the hold this
man had upon the people. For he
was much loved and the affection Of
men was his strength. There was
something about him which winning
always ennobled, and gave him quick
access to the hearts of his people.
The closest friends of the family
fastened to the home to offer their
condolences and sympathy to the
stricken family. In few hours the
word passed over the entire country,
and kilograms of sympathy began to
pour in from almost every city in
the United States. The colleagues
of the dead senator were early to
offer their condolences and there
were many words of sympathy from
the statesmen and diplomats at
Washington.
He served Iowa during a quarter
of a century of the period of greatest
in nation and state and
it fell to him to participate in most
if not all of the great political crises
which confronted the country. 1t was

Of his active life. He was married in
1855 to Eliza j. Brown, daughter of
Robert Brown, near Kingwood, Pres
ton county, West Virginia. Five
children were born to them. Senator
Dolliver was the second in age. The
others were, Robert H., Methodist
minister, born in 1856, now a resi-
dent Of Rochelle, Illinois; Victor B.,
born in 1861, a lawyer and a resi-
dent of Fort Dodge to the time of
his death about four years ago, and
who shared with his brother the gift
of oratory and was one of the most
popular campaign speakers in the
United States; Miss Margaret Gay,
who makes a home for her father in
Fort Dodge, and Mrs. Mary III. Ora
ham, wife of Mr.. e. r. Graham of
Evanston, Ill.
The two brothers, Robert H. and
Jonathan p, were graduated from the
University of West Virginia in the
same class in 1875. That summer ].
P. Dolliver went to Sandwich, ILL.,,
where he, taught school the following
winter in country school, known as
Victor Center. The next spring he
returned to his home in West Vir-
ginia and spent a year in studying
law in the office of his uncle, John
J. Brown, of Morgantown, returning
the next fall to Sandwich, ILL.,, where
he was principal of the high school.
In the spring of 1878 the Dolliver
boys invested all their money in law
books and came to Fort Dodge, where
they opened law office. They were
not denied that valuable schooling
which comes from the struggle of
vigorous youth to gain a professional
footing with but small financial
backing. They had the usual strug-
