Des Moines, Dec. 7.-Congressman
Charles E. Pickett will unquestionably
be one Of the numerous candidates for
the senate whose names will be con-
sidered by the members of the legis-
lature. Like others of the statesmen on
the available liat he will make no for
NAL announcement Of candidacy, nor
put himself forward as seeker of the
position, but members of the legis-
lature from the Third district will let
1t be known that they intend to give
him earnest support in the caucus. In
this respect he will be on an exact par
with Byers. Funk, Garst, Hubbard and
others.
The fact that Pickett will be in the
race will materially affect the pros
poets of Carl FRANKIE and Guy Feely,
both of whom are in the same district.
It is regarded as probable, also, that
Mr.. Pickett will be able to corral most
Of the votes Of the entire northeastern
Iowa. He would be able to command
the support OF at least part OF the
iowa delegation in congress, and what
ever Of national administration innu-
ence there may be in the state could
not be thrown against him on account
Of not being regular enough at
Washington or too regular" at home.
Since the collapse Of the feeble eff
fort to get Lieutenant Governor Clarke
into the race, it has been circulated
that he was forced to withdraw be.
cause of the so-called elimination"
process which is being laid up to Sem
ator Cummins without reason, and it
has been intimated the Clarke with
drawal, so-called. was due entirety to
the visit of Senator Smith to Abel. AS
matter Of fact on the very day that
the allegl announcement Of his formal
candidacy was published. Governor
Clarke wrote out a formal statement
Of withdrawal and that the announce
ment was virtually mistake and not
authorized and desired to publish the
same, but was induced to hold it back
for two weeks, He was not personally
DESTROYS Of getting into the game in
that way. Therefore the announcement
which was finally made was an entire
ly natural statement.
Information comes from northwest
ern Iowa that since the clearing of the
atmosphere in regard to Governor
Clarke's position, there is revival Of
demand that Senator A. B. Funk and
Governor Garst receive consideration
in connection with the senatorship.
They are residents of the Eleventh and
Tenth districts. in which there is also
some sentiment of a positive charac-
ter for Fred Faville and Congressman
Hubbard. In this section of the state,
however, the sentiment continues
strong for Byers.
Already great many persons In the
state who are interested in salaries
and other things are making inquiries
as to the application OF the new fed
eral census to matters referred to in
the Iowa CODE They have discovered
that the federal census has no standing
whatever in Iowa, and in fact is moth
ing more than an interesting piece of
news. But if the laws hadn't been
changed a few years ago so as to
abandon recognition OF the federal cen
sus it would have had material effect
upon many matters. For instance the
salaries of county officers are fixed ac-
cording to population Of the counties
and If the federal census was recog-
nized it would on the first of the year
boost good many salaries. Under
the law at present It will have no eff
feet and the state census OF 1905 will
continue to rule until 1915. So, also.
jury lists are made UP according to
population Of the counties, but the fed
eral census will not affect these. The
Moon law affecting the Limitation of
saloons in cities and the law in regard
to classification Of cities, both refer
specifically to the state and federal
