Washington, Dec. S.-Not the least OF
the problems which will confront Presi-
dent Taft during the next few months
viii be the disposition to be made or
the enormous brood OF lame ducks
which was Matched al the congress
sionai election Nov. : and at various
.lnies in the senatorial contests thru
out the country within the past few
months. Not in many years nave SO
many prominent members or congress
oeen retired TO private me Many OF
The republicans VINO nave been defeat
ed since Preslden. TAFT took office are
anxious to remain in pubic HE, ana
since their constituents wiileu that they
cease drawing pay from congress at the
rate OF $1,000 year, TO say nothing OF
stationery accounts and mileage allow
ances to and from Washing. ION, they
would like to attach themselves TO the
pay roll in other branches Of the gov
eminent service. This will not prove
SUCH a difficult matter TO retiring
members OF the senate who stand We'll
with the old guard. The republican
leaders on the senate side always make
it their business to look out for their
defeated colleagues. 1t is this friendly
interest which enables former Senator
HemenWay, of Indiana. 20 continue al
his OLD senatorial salary as an outside
member of the committee on public eN-
penditures which was organized a: the
last session of congress. The national
monetary commission is so loaded down
with lame duck material that after
March 4 former members OF congress
will be in the majority, among them
being Senator's Aldrich, OF Rhode ISL
and; Burrows. of Michigan; Hale OF
Maine; Secretary Knox. former Senator
Teller, and Senator Money who Will be
succeeded on March 4 by John Sharp

Over on the house side Of the capitol
Representative James a. Tawney.
chairman OF the house committee on
appropriations, VIII have the endorse
ment OF nearly every member OF the
house irrespective OF party for any
place in the government service he may
desire. Mr.. Tawney was defeated a.:
the primaries last September after
serving for eighteen years. He ahan-
doned his law practice many years ago
in order to devote his entire time to the
appropriations committee. Democrats
and republicans alike expect Mr.. Taw-
ney TO be elected to congress two years
hence but they want him taken care OF
in the interval and because OF his abil-
itv as business man and also because
of his intimate knowledge OF the gov
ernment's expenditures it is believed
that he would make himse invaluable

Lodge Can Be Ambassador.

If Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. of
Massachusetts,, is defeated for re-elec-
ton in the legislature next January it
Is regarded as almost certain that he
will be sent to the court of st. Jam es
as ambassador from the United States
to England. Whitelaw Reid, the pres
ent ambassador, is believed to have
been slated for retirement almost from
the beginning Of the Taft administra-
ton. This was made evident when the
president offered the place TO Charles
w. Eliot. president emeritus OF Har-
ward University.
Senator Burkett. OF Nebraska. who
was defeated for reelection Nov. by
Representative Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock,
is one Of the members OF congress who
is expected to remain In Washington

Representative Henry Sherman Bou-
tell, of Illinois, who was defeated for
a denomination by an insurgent, is be-
lievcd to be ambitious to enter the
ClplOIYlatlC service or some Otner place
equally attractive. Representative John
A. T. Hull. OF Iowa, chairman Of the
house committee on military affairs, is
practically a resident of Washington,
and has farm down in Virginia. He
is one Of the prominent members who
went down to defeat and for whom
President Taft is expected to find a
pleasant berth In the government SER
vice. Senator Carter. Of Montana, is a
prominent figure in the Tame duck
brigade. and thus far he has not been
placed on the senate pay roll as COM
pensation for his defeat. He has been
mentioned for membership on the in
terstate commerce commission, the
United States supreme court and as
possible successor to Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock, tho 1T is not believed
that he Will get any Of these places, but
that it will be up to the senate to take
care OF him by putting him on the
monetary commission where one or
two vacancies have been caused by
death. There are a number Of other
ducks who are on .he lookout for Jobs,

The Race for Representative.

To the Voters of Polk County: Friends -I wish to say to you that l am a candidate for the officce of Representative of Polk county m the next General Assembly. Four years ago I made the race against two of Polk county's best citizens and failed of an election by only a few votes, Mir. Hamilton beng elected. He served you for four years, and faithfully, too, so far as can learn. He was, in my opinion, a friend to the taxpayers of the state.
 am led to believe this time that am to receive a very large vote, regardless of party or factions. l have no space to discuss any county or state issues at this late date, and will only ask your fair and honest consideration on the day Of the election, September F.
 l am opposed by ". Minor Plpkln, who, doubtless all know. is lawyer. You remember he was your county clerk for four years. You know whether he was true to the trust you placed in him during the four years and whether he made you an honest and faithful officer or not, and you can certainly make up your mind whether he or myself will best represent you and will look after the interest of the state and county. It is true that he is the Democratic nominee. and is resting on his oars expecting you to do the rest. l think it is time the party lines are broken once and a while for the best interest of the tax payers of the state. Twenty-one years l have lived in Polk county and like the county and the people.
 certainly, if elected would want to come back home with the honor of having made you an honest ser want. have always made good in the position that have been intrust- ed, both public and private, and as evidence of same 1 refer you to the men scattered throughout the coun- ty. You have known me best from 1 NhhdioOu, hHoWH uHuCL Whnt VI lh6 circumstances was reared. Men who stay by me at all times regard less of party, l am proud of them and will never disappoint them. asked my opponent to arrange the dates for speaking in the county and would meet him, but he has not. So l will not get to see you, but urge you if you arc for me, to get large turnout at the polls. One thorn of experience is worth whole wilder ness of warning. So if you have failed to get out and work and lost reward, do not let it occur again. With best wishes for all, Iremain, for all.
