petition for the place. Mr.. Townsend
believes he has strong backing among
the citizens of the city.
Mayor Elder is the only other

democrats, however, claim that Sena
tor E. P. McManus will be the man
named and say that the democratic
leaders of this district and the referees
in Iowa patronage matters will recon-
mend him.
