Des Moines, Nov. IA new United
pointed in few days. The place will
not be left open.
II the appointment was to be made
today it would go to LATE Young. a
pressure brought on the governor for
this appointment is said to have been
enormous. To date he has the call for
the place. The commission may be
made out any day.
A number OF conferences have al
ready been held with regard to this
matter and 1t Is an open secret that
the plan Is to dispose Of it now, and
in such manner that Governor Carroll
will himself be still available as a can
didate for the place before the legisla-
ture. If the governor should be Sc
lected by the legislature in January.
Lieutenant Governor Clarke would inn
mediately become governor and thus
have practically an entire term. This
would be an inducement to some to
support Carroll for the place.
There is also some activity observ-
able for some other candidates. In
eastern Iowa the lines are forming for
support of Congressman Dawson. who is
being urged to ask the support of the
legislature.
The suggestion Of Judge Kenyon for
the place has been renewed and there
has been some effort made to induce
Governor Carroll to appoint him with
a view to advancing his chances before
the legislature. Judge Kenyon has
promised his friends that he will let
them know very soon whether or not
he will make the race for the place be-
fore the legislature. Solicitation Of in
huence and support in his behalf has
been active for some time.
In behalf of the plan to have an APP
pointment made Immediately it is be-
ing urged that unless that is done, Sen
ator Cummins will have commanding
influence in the selection of the Iowa
federal contingent the coming winter.
Some time during the winter the dele
cation must get together on the federal
jobs in the two districts and pass the
list up to the appointing powers for
action. With only one senator the
caucus would be harmonious.

Another thing moving for appoint
ment Of another man In Des Moines is
the desire to break up the slate as to
the Des Moines postoffce. Senator
Cummins has decided that he will rec
ommend Mr.. L. c. Kurtz, a prominent
business man and earnest party work.
er, but with another senator from Des
Moines deadlock would be certain and
Captain Hull's man would hold on.
Judge S. F. Prouty leaves this even
ing for Brinkley. Ark. where he has
business interests, to remain several
weeks while recuperating his health
and strength. The judge has never fully
recovered from the serious illness
which beset him during the summer
which for a time completely Frustrated
him. He kept up during the campaign
because OF his intense interest in the
same. He had not, up to last evening,
ascertained as yet how much his ma
jority is in the district, but the outside
counties gave him over 2,400 and Polk
over 1900. His own confidential esti-
mate prior to the election was $500
majority.
Freem Conway was down from Ames
yesterday to get the Tippecanoe BAN
ner and flag and eevrything else for
Carroll, in the strongest progressive
will have to hump themselves" he
said. "to beat Story in the standing by
the party eevry time"
The November session of the Sep
TENDER term OF the state supreme court
will open next Tuesday. The docket is
not large but great many cases have
been submitted which may be decided
by the court.
An explanation Of the defeat of Sen
ator Fred Smith, democrat. OF Burling-
ton has been received here that leaves
nothing more to be said. The "Iowa
Liberal League" Whatever that Is, got
out circular, printed in both English
and German, advising all liberals to
vote for the democratic state, congress
sional and legislative ticket, except for
state senator and stating that the
league had decided upon support Of
cowles as against Smith. This was
the deciding influence. It was supposed
Smith was invincible In that county.
