second term may have won him the
nomination by an extremely narrow
margin, the progressives have nomi-
mated S. F. Prouty over j. A. T. Hull
for congress in the capital city district,
defeating in Captain Hull one of the
Cannon lieutenants and the one into
whose district the speaker came dur
ing the campaign to denounce Senator
Cummins and the progressive republic
cans.
Defeat For Cannonism.
In the defeat of Captain Hull in the
Seventh district the progressives see
a significant result. Speaker Cannon
came to Knoxville about a year ago in
the interests of Captain Hull. He was
dined and entertained and was given
banquet and made speech. In the
speech he specially assailed Cummins
and the progressives and insurgents.
and hugely pleased the standpat and
anti-Cumnins republicans of the dis
trict. Since that time Congressman
Hull has allowed it to be known that
he was aligned definitely with the Can
non coterie, and in his speeches and
campaign made defense of the speaker
and the rules of the house and the
Alrdich- Cannon regime in congress.
TIE nomination Of Judge Prouty, the
declare, is the answer OF
the republicans of the district to the
Cannon-AldTich war on the Iowa sen
ators and insurgent congressman.
This answer they believe is emphas-
lied by the outcome IN the Ninth dis
trict, whether the standpatters have
succeeded in nominating Judge Smith
or not If he is nominated it is by
ac-
forts.
The returns on the state ticket under
governor are so meager that it is diff
fcul. 10 tell what the outcome viii be,
but it is believed that the republicans
will nominate in the state convention
at least one candidate for railroad COM
missioner and the state superintend-
ent.
Cosson Seems Winner
In the fight on attorney general it is
sistant 10 Attorney General Byers, and
the author of the Cosson laws under
which the laws of Iowa have been en-
forced by General Byers. will be nomi-
mated over Guy A. Feely and W. T.
Chantland. Feely was the candidate
OF the liberal elements OF every kind in
the s.2te and they vigorously supported
him. The Liberal Alliance League
gave him its support and in Des
Moines the liberal element spent the
day at the polls FOR him, but il is
thought that Cosson carried Des
Moines.
Cosson's nomination will be taken as
a vindication of the policy of law en-
forcemenr tnaugurated by Senator
Cummins when chief executive and by
General Byers.
The belief prevails among politics
that the victory of the progressives in
controlling the state convention. and
this is certain unless the late returns
make marked changes, the overwhelm-
ing victory in congressional districts
Will result in abandonment of the pro-
ject Of the standpatters 10 make Sena-
tor Deliver trouble in his candidacy
70 succeed himself in the senate in
1912
How Democrats Ran.
Among the democrats early returns
that j. A. De Armand, of Dav-
export, is victor over l. S. Pepper, of
altho the result was in
doubt.
In the fourth D D. Murphy had no
opposition among the democrats. This
was the case with S. c. Huber in the
Fifth and D. ". Hamilton in the Sixth.
There were no dem ocratic nominations
in the Ninth. Tenth and Eleventh.
