Des Moines, June 1S.-Already the
Fannon-A ldrich people are planning to
ontinue Capt. j. A. T. Hull in office.
ust what Office has been picked out
or him is not known, but it has been
uggested he could secure the pension
pffice for the Nebrasla-Iowa district
Des Moines. This is now held by
Y. v. Wilcox, whose term OF office ex-
tired last December. There had been
Igreement in the Iowa delegation eau
US to leave it to Senator Cuulnlins in
ccordance with custom, and Congress-
han Hull said he would keep hands
bh. Cunmins and the delegation
united in recommending Col. II. B.
Vdedge, war veteran and deseryedly
popular republican. His name was
duly sent to President Taft, but to the
present time nothing has been done.
When Captain Hull returned to make
ii he Eighth for the district again, he en-
isted Pension Agent WILCOX to handle
e magic lantern part of his vaudeville
how, and for two months the pension
gent has been engaged in extensively
rsonal politics. Whether this will
sure his retention in the place re-
Seventh district will probably see
it that the administration is in
brmed of what the pension agent has
IN doing. The president could, OF
Iurse, on recommendatio ton of Senator
ldrich or others, appoint Congress
AN Hull to succeed Wilcox, and this
Puld be an indication of his attitude
yard Iowa republicans.
An interesting situation has devel-
ped here in reference to the congress
sional committee. Four years ago. be-
fore the primary was adopted, com
mittee was formed with Nose Cohen as
chairman. At the time Of the contest
two years ago, Mr.. Cohen called his
committee together and called dis
triot convention. Later he found out
that the progressives had control and
he tried to recall the convention, but
too late. 1t was held, and the stand
patters bolted as usual and refused TO
participate A new committee was
selected in part, with Charles Brad
shaw succeeding Cohen. 1t is now
known that Cohen. who was one OF
Governor CAROLS managers, still in
sists he is chairman, tho this county
elected another and several meetings
of the committee have been held In
. secret. There will be no convention
nsld this year, but at the county con-
MENTIONS July 2 new COMMITTEES VIII
be selected which will have charge Of
future conventions. But If there was
a convention TO be held this year the
situation on the committee might de-
velop pretty rnuddle.
This year for the first time in the
=; 1nr ha
one congressional convention of either
the republican or democratic party in
Iowa. The primary disposed of every
nomination.
A judicial contest is promised in the
Fifth distrisct. Dallas county will sup !
port w H. Fahey. of Perry, 10 succeed
z. E Nichols who has announced ne |
would not seek denomination and in
tact intends to resign in October. |
Madison county has three candidates
j P. Steele. Leo c. Percival and c "A. |
Robbins Dallas county will have a |
progressive delegation and Madison |
probably a stand pat Marion, Warren |
and Guthrie wiz have progressive dele
cations and Adair q standpat. Guth- |
RE and Marion have judges who will |
ask denomination, tho it is an open Sc
cret that Judge Gamble intends soon |
One Of the rare instances Of no one |
of three candidates for one office re-
ceiving 35 per cent Of the vote was in |
Warren county in the contest for coun-
ty recorder. w. A. Savage, candidate /
for fourth term, received just four less |
the required 35 per cent and while he |
defeated both the others he is not nom
mated.
The friends of candidates in this |
county for representative say they do !
not fear any trouble over deciding what !
is 35 per cent of a vote where two Of
fees are to be filed ana many voters !
only voted for one. They insist It WILL t
be assumed that every voter who voted |
on the office at all voted for two and !
no other construction would be within |
reason. The point on this question. as
dt related to the office of railroad COM
missioner, was first raised by James
C. Davis attorney of the Northwest |
ern; but it will not be urged before t
either the county or state conventions. |
The supreme court has before it at |
the present time case involving the !
validity of what is called the average
clause" in insurance policies, of much |
interest to all who have to do with In
surauce. The case came from Sioux
City where the Anchor company was
the only one of a number of com panies I
not having the average clause, which /
resulted in the litigation over the pro-
portion Of a loss to be borne by each
one.
Col. H. L. Bousquet, clerk of the gu
pyeme court, today rendered appoint /
ment as deputy clerk to Burgess w.
Garrett, who was nominated for clerk
by the republican primary Of last |
Tuesday.
The offer was made without condi- |
lions of any character, OF course, and |
Mr.. Garrett has taken the matter under |
advisement.
It Ia probable that he will accept.
The deputyshfp has been vacant, In |
effect, since the retirement of Thomas |
n Grub to become a candidate for |
the nomnation two months ago. G. T. |
Jones acting as clerk temporarily.
