DES MOlMES, NOV. lA.--lSpeClall- Ill
appointment Of LATE Young to be a United
states senator yesterday and the announce
ment on the part Of Chairman Carl FRANKIE
Of the republican state committee that he
win be a candidate for the senate before
the legislature is supposed TO start off
the senatorial fight before the Legislature
in an excellent way. IT is now certain
there will soon be in the field a formid-
able list Of active and aggressive candi-
dates.
There is very little probability Of the
election by the Legislature OF Senator
Young to be his own successor. His term
Will be for about eight or ten weeks or
until the legislature gets action. In view
OF the complexion of the legislature, and
the fact that Il is Overwhelmingly pro-
gressive on joint ballot and disposed TO
favor the Roosevelt policies and support
the measures which have been enacted in
Iowa in the last ten years II seems GER
tain that some Of the progressive repub-
lican leaders will be chosen to 90 to the
/ senate
The announcement Of Mr. FRANKIE created
a sensation, Il was not supposed he had
any political aspirations. as he had never
been candidate even for small office
! in his county. He is a business man,
young and prosperous and shrewd, hav-
ing mercantile business in Parkersburg.
He has been chairman Of the state COM
mittee the last two campaigns.
The field Of active candidates for the
/ position Is likely to be augmented very
soon II is known that the matter is under
consideration by Attorney General II. w.
Byers Of Harlan, by Governor Warren
Gsrst Of Carroll county, by Senator James
A. Smith OF Mitchell county and by Albert
F. Dawson OF jackson county. None OF
these has as yet made any announcement
The legislature will meet on January
and about the 18th will be able to take a
vote on senator. II a caucus is held the
matter Will have been disposed Of before
that time.
VIII Count the Votes.
The official canvass Of the votes Of the
counties Of Iowa will commence on Mon.
day by the ninety-nine boards of super.
Wsors. The returns, as sent to the news
papers by the county authorities, have
been unsatisfactory. only a small part
OF the vote has been reported and prac.
tically nothing is known as to the vote
on minor state offices. 1t is known, how
ever that the others on the republican
state ticket ran far ahead of governor
and that he will be low man in the list
The membership OF the legislature is also
definitely known and no changes in tina,
are anticipated.
