that nine OF The ten republican congress-
men from 1owo voted against the bill 20
make good the treaty for Canadian reel
procity at Washington it Is the belief Of
those who are best informed that the
two senators from Iowa will be found
standing together in support Of President
Taft IN this measure. Nothing definite has
eeen indicated as to the matter and it Is
presumed nothing will be known until
after the debate has been entered upon.
The attitude taken by the senior senator
has been ell along that in the matter of
the general principle OF reciprocity he
stands for II now as IN the past, but q
To this particular treaty or agreement he
was not ready TO decide until all the facts
are known, and that while he believes il
not TO be as good an agreement as might
have been made II must be recognized as a
step. Ihs altitude OF the Junior senator
has not been defined at au on the aues-
ton IN the past he has been an ardent
advocate Of lower tariff duties and a
champion Of tho policy Of reciprocity. It
is regarded as almost certain no will sup
port the bill. PfNN
The peculiar turn OF affairs IN the Ninth
districts where a special election has been
called, makes almost certain the issue
election. The republican candidates are all
committed against the pending bill Judge
Green. who stands the best show OF nomi-
nation, has been quoted as standing against
this treaty, Willie Stern, who represents
the opposite faction is also said to be op-
posed TO the treaty. The democrats plan
TO nominate a candidate who is moderate
and would attract republican votes and
who will take the position that he will
support the administration in this matter.
Then there will be an issue for the cam
paign to follow.
Figuring ON State Ticket.
A good Deal OF gossip has been going
the rounds lately az TO possible candidates
for state and other offices. II II settled
that Lieutenant Governor q, w. Clarke
of Dallas county, will be the leading can
didate for governor, and he may not be
opposed. though It 10 known that a small
legislative group formed last winter de-
cded upon one support or Representative
g. w. Moore, . banker Of Cedar Rapids,
1t has also been ON the program Tor w. L.
Harding of Sioux NCity to be a candidate
for lieutenant governor. It Ia possible that
Secretary OF State w. c. Hayward will be
= candidate for governor.
The federal positions in Iowa are to be
filled at an early date. In the northern
district Truman L. Potter OF Mason City
will be q candidate for marshal. and 8. d.
Finiksr OF Rock Rapids, a candidate for
attorney. In the southern district Arthur
Springer of Wapello IL candidate for col
lector. These are all new candidates, but
st IL supposed that some OF the present
monuments will make an effort to retain
their places.
