Des Moines, Nov. 26.-The sudden
death OF Marshal Frank Clark puts the
Wilson administration right up against
the necessity Of cutting the knot which
has tied up federal patronage in Iowa.
1t may prove decidedly embarrassing.
The marshalship has been held back
because OF a desire to settle the attor-
nership first. Now probably both Will
be disposed of quickly.
The fight is one between the wilson
men and the Clark men. The latter
control the state organization and have
most of the positions of influence. The
former have the ear of the admnistra-
ton.
The Clark men picked for their slate
Nick Reed for marshal and Clauue
Porter for attorney. These men nave
the backing of Wade, Reed, Conneliy'
Pepper and the state committee. rms
was the original Organization slate.
But complications arose and an at
tempt was made to shift to ex-senator
Craig of Keokuk for attorney. Then
the Wilson men countered and brought
out Dan Hamilton for attorney.
Situation Complicated.
This complicated the marshalship. IL
Hamilton got the attorneyship evidcnt-
ly Reed could not be marshal. as both
are from the same district. If Porter
became attorney evidently A. T. Red
dy. of Shenandoah, would not be named
as marshal Then 1t was found that
Congressman Kirkpatrick was waver-
ing, for the sake of meeting the intense
feeling in his district against Reed.
who had been turned down hard by his
own party in the district caucus last
year. It was said that Kirkpatrick
would break away from the Reed
Wade combine and go 1t alone. There
the matter has rested with nothing
done.
Now the national administration
must decide and ought to decide very
quickly whether OF not the regular or
SANITATION in Iowa is to prevail or the
original Wilson men are to have a say
about patronage. 1t Is known that
Porter would pull out Of the race and
let Hamilton have the attorneyship but
for the insistence Of those who have
backed him. But Craig is still to be
reckoned with. At the same time the
president will find it hard to appoint
Reed and turn down Hamilton in the
