Des Moines. April g. Z Republicans
mere are patiently awaiting news from
Webster City that will give the name
Of the candidate selected to make the
race against the senior senator for re-
election. Assurance was given last
Saturday that the papers would be cir
culated from Webster City, OF, that part
OF the state. But to the present the
name Of the, senatorial candidate Of the
ants has not been disclosed. ID
It Ks not believed here that the com
mittee will accept B. F. Loos, Of this
city, as their candidate for the senate
He has had great deal Of experience
as candidate. Is ready to stand on
any platform that might be suggested.
and in fact is an ideal man to put into
the harness alongside Of Lee, Barber
Wilson, Rowley, ct al. But It will be
argued that the fact he comes from
Des Moines is great handicap. No
body here knows who is to be the can
didate.
u Ames Extravagant.
Bob Healy, who didn't get the nomi-
nation for supreme Judge when he last
ran, has written to the state house for
copies Of the report made by the eff
cheney engineers to the retrenchment
and reform committee on the investi-
CATION Of leaks In state affairs. He
wants to use 1t to boost Lee, the presi-
dent OF the Ames alumni association
The only copies, so far as known, are
the manuscript copies which are in the
hands Of the members OF the COM
mittee. He can get them from Allen,
DeWolf. Mates. Jacobs. Larrabee Mills
er, or Black. Nobody here has copies for
circulation; and besides it was a re-
port for the committee and not from
the committee and will go to the legis-
lature.
Some one suggested at the state
house that in the absence Of printed
copies of this report the nearest ap-
proach would be to send Hea1y a copy
OF the printed report Of the state agri-
cultural college, which shows where
some Of the money has been going: In
fact Editor Rowiey Is engaged in try
ing to figure ont tust how much In.

The congressional situation IN 1tlS6
Seventh district Is getting into pretty
tangle. Senator Dowell and Editor
Payne have been conducting quiet
campaign, stirring up no fractional feel
ing and each one apparently willing
to trust it to the republicans Of the
district to decide which should have
the nomination. Each one has ardent
friends. and each one seems confident.
But here comes Joe Myerly, a type Of
the old line politician. with the power
OF the biggest of the city departments
at his disposal, ready to use that power.
and in fact using 1t. relentlessly. and
with a threat to have ex-Congressman
Hull or Virginia come back to line up
the forces for Myerly. 1t promises to
inject factionalism into the contest
with a vengeance Myerly has already
been sending city employees out into
other counties to do campaign work for
him.
Very little stir has as yet been made
in behalf of Rev Mr.. Barber, long time
employee Of the state anti-saioon league,
who is to make the race for lieutenant
governor; but 1t is promised a big
organization viii get back Of him at
once.
Judge Election Law Complicated.
Endless are the complications which
arise over the application Of the new

separate from the ordinary ballot.
Judges HobsOn and Springer are
wondering what will happen In their
district. They are candidates for re-
election There are two judges on the
bench. There are but two candidates
for nomination.. The county auditor
will place over the judicial ballot the
advice, "vote for four" That .will be
an invitation for men TO mark in the
names Of other candidates, but there
are no others. Surprising lot OF
voters mark in the names of two ell
eible lawyers-will these names have
to 20 on the ballot in November as
nominees?
On the other hand. supposing that
* out of lack of interest in the primary
Z some one or two or three get the lead
OF the present Judges, could one Of
the latter be shut out?
The problem Of fixing up the judicial
ballot is still an open question. The
two Judges named were here yesterday
irving to get some light on the new
method which Ben Salinger Is credited
: with having hxed up to elect judges.
