KENYON TO POSTPONE
TAKING SENATE SEAT
Will Not Qualify Until Anti
Trust Prosecutions Are
Arranged For.

w. S. Kenyon. Attorney General Wick
ersham's assistant and senator-elect
from Iowa. will not qualify as a senator
until the important antitrust prosecu-
lions which he is now conducting can
be arranged without injury to the work.
Attorney General Wickersham today
authorized the statement that Mr.. Ken
yon will withhold his resignation until
this can be arranged, and said:
II regard Mr. Kenyon as one Of the
most clear-headed able lawyers. and one
OF the most high-minded of my ac-
quaintance. His election to the Senate
will mean a great loss to the Department
of Justice. but the administration will
gain in the Senate q man who Is in the
fullest sympathy with the President s
aims and policies"
Mr.. Kenyon. while the election was in
progress in the Iowa legislature. declared
to friends here that he intended to con-
duct at least the beef trust prosecution in
person, IL he should succeed to the seat
Of the late Senator Dolliver.
Makes Thirteen Progressives.
Mr.. Kenyon's election increases the
number of progressives in that body from
twelve to thirteen, but does not change
the relative strength Of the republicans
and democrats.
Among progressive senator's the news
Of the election Of Judge Kenyon was re-
ceived with great satisfaction. and re-
publicans generally are glad that the
Iowa legislature did not adjourn without
making q choice. as that would have re-
duced the republican voting strength by
one vote. The democratic strength in the
Senate would be increased by one II the
Colorado legislature could agree upon a
senator. There has been a deadlock there
for many weeks over a successor to the
late Charles ]. Hughes. democrat. and
the legislature Is democratic.
The election Of Judge Kenyon was par
ticularly pleasing to President Taft.
HE will make an excellent senator be-
cause of his splendid equipment for the
place." the President commented. He is
a good lawyer and man of courage and
high ideals"
