Csntsrvills. for United states attorney
in the southern district. but the At
torney general did not seem to think
any better Of the orgsnistion's abil-
ity to pick out the best man for at
torney than he did Of its selection for
marshal. He turned down the name OF
Porter and substituted therefor that
Of Daniel r. Hamilton Of Sigourney.
All this was about ten weeks ago.
Judge Wade Works For Porter.
Judge Wade. democratic national
committeeman. since that time. has
been in Warrington on two or three
different occasions and never has lost
an opportunity to say to his friends
influential In the party that in his
opinion Mr.. Porter was entitled to the
attorneyship and that . grave injus-
tice would be done him II the office
should be given to another.
The organization, 1t seems, had no
particular objection to any OF the
candidates for marshal in the north
ern district. recommending Mr.. Hogan
principally because he was tho choice
Of Congressman Connolly and, Mr..
Connolly being the only democratic
member from northern Iowa. was ac-
cording to all rules Of the game. en-
titled to name the man for this office.
But. when Bronson was recommended
instead OF Hogan. no kick was made
by the three democratic congressman.
Having in mind Mr.. Bronson's early
service in behalf Of the Wilson candi-
daoy. they may have thought opposi-
ton would have been useless. How
ever. 1t now appears that Mr.. Bronson
has met with opposition from an en-
tirely unexpected quarter-from some
OF the original Wilson men In the
state. Their influence. heretofore
pretty well established. Is said to be
responsible for the holdup OF Bron
sons appointment.
(. AS to the marshalstip in the south
ern district, the attorney general
recommended N. F. Reed of Ottumwa.
democratic state chairman. who was
unanimously endorsed by the eleven
district committeeman and by the
Iowa democratic congressman. But
Mr.. Reed does not suit some Of the
Wilson leaders and there you are!
