INTEREST LAGS
IN ELECTION
OF SENATOR
Discussion Turns to Regular
Election in 1912 as Pres
ent Deadlock Shows No
Signs Of Breaking.
IBY w. H. POWELL

Des Moines, March TO- Especially =
The senatorial campaign has reached
point now where the discussion
turns almost altogether upon the out
look for the regular election in 1912
II anyone is chosen by the Legislature
to serve for the unexpired term of the
late Senator Dolliver it will be with
the understanding that such choice
does not bind those who place him In
ONCE to support him in the election
for the long term.
Although there is no talk of it in the
lobbies, it would seem the course OF
wisdom now to turn to some man OF
senatorial size upon whom the two
factions Of the party might unite, fol
the unexpired term; some man who
like George NJ. Curtis, would be 9
candidate for the Office merely for the
honor of serving the people Of Iowa foI
the short term and not for. the purpose
of putting himself at the head of the
list OF aspirants for the six years
term.
Mr.. Curtis originated this policy and
is the only man who has expressed his
willingness to accept the Office under
these conditions. 1t Is doubtful II he
could secure the requisite vote, how.
ever, but some man can be found who
could command the majority Of the
membership of the legislature. Else
Iowa is indeed faction-ridden.
{ The special primary is dream
that never came true; the Oregon
plan is a bursted bubble, the house
having failed yesterday to pass It
over the governors veto. There is
little chance now to break the dead
lock that has held for six weeks. Judge
Deemer, despite the frantic appeal OF
/, q big portion OF the progressive press,
refuses to drop out Of the race In IA
vor Of Kenyon; and If he should with
draw there is every likelihood that
enough of his vote would go back to
Young or to some other standpatter
to prevent the election of Kenyon.
! Kenyon Men Still Solid.
Kenyon's men are as solid as they
were when they started voting. They
have cinched the record for long
gained little strength now and then
from quarters where they little expect
ed It.
There is, in short, about as much
chance of breaking the deadlock
without short-term election, as there
is that Lafayette Young will declare
for Kenyon. If you haven't been
watching the militant junior senator
you don't know how remote a possi-
bility that is, but the writer searched
quite while to find remote one and
passed up several others to use this
comparison because Mr.. Young gives
about as much indication of backing
Kenyon as he does Of backing out
And no one has ever accused him OF
quitting any fight
David Brant, the hard-hitting editor
of the Iowa City Republican, came out
editorially for Kenyon the other day
This, however, may have been be-
cause Of some state university string
that friends of the Fort Dodge man
have pulled, and David doesn't have so

BRYAN To Be GUEST
OF WOODROW WILSON
Flutter in New York Political Cir
cles Over Announcement Of
Today's Meeting.
SOME PRESIDENTIAL TALK
Nebraskan Given Credit for Being
Able to Dictate Democratic
Nomination.
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.


NEW YORK, March 1l.-There was
flutter in high political circles today
when it was announced that William ]
Bryan was to be the guest of Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New jersey at
Princeton Inn tomorrow Colonel
Bryan is to deliver an address to the
Princeton theological seminary tomor'
row and as soon as the New Jersey
governor heard of it he invited the
Nebraskan to take dinner with him
and the invitation was promptly ac-
cepted.
Tt is altogether improbable that the
event has any political significance.
The two men have very sincere ad-
miration for each other, but both are
strong Presbvterians and will hardly
discuss politics at Sunday dinner.
New York politicians are under no
delusions as to the waning strength of
Mr. Bryan in n Democratic national
convention. They believe he will. if
be so desires, dominate the next con-
vention to the extent of being able to
veto the nomination Of any man who
is not satisfactory to him. They also
recognize the many elements of
strength in the possible candidacy of
Governor Wilson. IF Mr.. Bryan should
decide 20 throw his strength to Wilson,
the best opinion here is that the Jersey
man will he the next nominee. Hence
the deep interest in the friendly meet.

NEW YORK, March 1.-Two very diff

ton announced today by two OF Amer
icas richest women. Mrs Russell Sage
has given a preliminary $4,000 to afford
porper home for the thousands Of mer-
chant seamen who ship from this port
and protect them from the crimp, the
divekeeper and clearinghouse runner who
mainly look after poor Jack when he is
home. Mrs. Sage will do this work
through the Seamen's Friend society.
which already has a home in this port
She has become greatly interested in the
hard life OF merchant Jack and Is deter
mined to do for him what Miss Helen
Gould is doing for the navy sailors
Everything Is being done to make the
sailor comfortable and homelike: there
are swimming pools and shower baths.
reading and writing rooms, a savings
bank where seamen may deposit their
money; free concert Monday night a res
taurant where good meals are furnished
practically without cost. and chapel
where nonsectarian religious service
is held on Sunday. and other times. The
home also maintains an employment bu
reau FOR scamen. That sailors prefer
the homelike atmosphere of the institute
rooms. to that OF the lower resorts on
West street is shown by the fact that
the average number OF visitors In 1910
was more than 35. 600 each month.
Through Mrs. Sages interest the work
will be largely extended and amplifed.
Miss Anne Morgan has been making a
quiet investigation into the life OF the
children employed about the coal mines
and has been shocked by what she has
learned.
1t is understood she has interested her
father In the matter and secured his per-

OF these child workers more endurable
