Deal On to Break Deadlock.
1t began to be evident as the result
of the refusal Of the senate to bring
the Oregon plan bill to q vote tha:
there Is something doing under the sur
face on the senatorship. Senator
Adams showed In HIS speech that he
was aware that something ~ going on.
for he openly accused those who ia
vored the bill Of making q deal with the
democrats for the election OF United
States senator in return for the Oregon
plan. 1t was evident that group OF
republicans in the senate decided that
the Oregon plan shall be held open
for another week and that II IL being
used for trading purposes on the sem
atorship.
Shaw Opposed TO Young.
Ex-Governor Leslie NJ. Shaw. OF
Philadelphia. who last week spent near
IL an entire week In Iowa. was not
engaged in doing any work for and on
behalf OF his old friend. Senator La
fayctte Young. The fact is that Shaw
is very much opposed to the election
Of Young and while in the state did
quite q little talking which will reach
places that will have influence. Some
years ago when Shaw was brought to
Iowa to mix In the political game Edi-
tor Young made 1t a point to feature
him as coming to the state expressly
to speak for the then Roosevelt ma
tional administration. He Is now dead
opposed to the great personal ambi-
tions OF Young. 1t having been de-
veloped also that the Taft administra-
ton Is not in any way backing Young
but prefers another. some Of Young
followers feel that he Is entitled to a
front seat as an insurgent. Shaw Is
not himself candidate.
Garst Gain. 800 Per Cent.
Senator Cady Chase was delighted
over the great gain made by his candi-
date on Thursday. No other candidate
could show gain OF 300 per cent In
one day. Senator Chase says that
takes him out Of the sight OF the wick
ed paragraphers. II am in earnest
about supporting Governor Garst." he
said IF there is any man In the state
who deserves the place for what he has
done and the sacrifices he has made Il
is Garst. He has led every battle becn
in the thick Of every fight for the peo-
pie, he stands true: and no has shown
himself willing to 60 down to defeat fo-
u cause and stand square for the ticke'
in the election following
Air Of Expectancy.
There Is an air of expectancy on ev-
cry hand. Nearly everyone anticipates
that something is likely to break at
any moment. It Is certain that the
stand patters. or some Of them. are be-
ing subjected to enormous pressura
from home and that they are chaf!n~
under situation which places on them
the whole burden OF the deadlock.
The senatorial matter has reached
the coaxing stage. There is no longer
any flourishing of the bludgeon as II;
the early part Of the game. 1t is recog
nized that men have the right to diff
fer and to have personal preference
1t is anticipated that from this time on
it will be more OF serious effort t.
get men together in perfect harmon
than to force candidates off the tracE
on the theory that they are in the
way OF success.
