DIES MONIES, Ia, Dec. l0.-(special.)-
Much surprise was expressed here over
the fact that the Iowa delegation IN con-
gress. the last week agreed not to make
any recommendations to the president for
appointment OF federal offices in Iowa.
II had been generally assumed that be-
cause of the fact that all the commits
sons expire soon some action would be
taken now. Whether or not the president
will take this action to mean that he
should reappoint the present officials or
others who might be privately recon-
mended 10 him is not known. All the
friends OF the present incumbehts rejoice
greatly over the action taken and regard
Il as certain to mean that they will re-
tain office for four years more Espe-
cially in tho southern district the matter
Is surprise, for It was understood that
NJ. l.. Temple, United States attorney.
and Frank Clark, United states marshal.
were preparing to relinquish their offices
at the expiration Of their commissions.
The explanation given is that members
OF congress did not desire 20 cause any
trouble in Iowa prior 20 the presidential
election All of the representatives and
|
reelection.
The two senators will return to the
state soon and spend some time during
the holidays with their constituents. II
there is to be any campaign in Iowa next
year II will be decided at that time.

ful. The fact that last season was very
dry is, given as the reason that the Wild
fowl had q good season OF nesting.

neshiek county case In which he held
