Keokuk politicians are watching the

witnesses the entrance Of new aspir-
ants and changing of the situation.
The following special dispatch from
Des Moines reflects the unsettled con-
dition which prevails In Iowa politics:
Will the coming week see more can
didates in the race for the republican
nomination for governor or will the
elimination program which has been
suggested by some OF the leaders,
clear the field of any surplus OF as
pirants? Thus far the interest has
appeared to be confined to the candi-
dates themselves and their particular
friends and voters have not been lin
ing up. But with the spring and early
summer primaries coming on, the big
national convention looming in the
foreground with great national issues
at stake, interest In politics on the
part OF the voters will be sufficient be-
fore long to Indicate who has a
chance OF winning in the primaries.

Joseph H. Allen, Of Pocahontas coun-
ty; Carl Kuenhle, of Dubuque, and
Lieutenant Governor Harding, of
Sioux City. Clerk of the Supreme
Court B. w. Garrett may decide to get
into the race aggressively soon after
the first of the year.
Those who are opposed to Harding
are pointing out that his strength will
be united, that he will get the liberal
vote, an element among the farmers
who are opposed to road Development.
Hence an elimination campaign is be-
ing talked Of to defeat Harding.

The candidacy -of Senator Cummins
for the presidency is uniting the stand

been united since 1912. The strength

developing all through the middle
west and western states and his stand

OFFER TO PAY DAMAGES

City, war clouds are lowering over
the negotiations between the oity OF
Fort Madison and the Mississfppi
River Power company in the matter
OF sewage. The company offers to
pay damages and, asks to be released
from further responsibility. Tue coun-
c1lmen tn the neighboring city do not
seem to like that procedure. Here is
the Gem City's story:
Despite the fact that after weeks Of
enort settlement seemed near at
hand. 1t developed at council meeting
last night that differences between the
city and the Mississippi River Power
company regarding damages alleged
to be due the former on account of the
flooding OF sewers with the constr,lc-
ton OF the dam at Keokuk. are no
nearer solution today than they were
several months ago. A fight in the
courts seems inevitable, according TO
views of councilmen expressed at the
A letter from Chief Engineer Max
well Of the company. addressed to
Mayor Brown, was read to the council,
stating, as had been agreed upon in
conference, that the company would
pay whatever damages the committee
OF engineers named at the conference
should agree upon as due. But 1t
would pay with a provision, and 1t
was this provision that routed all
peace talk-the company asked that
after It had paid all damages estimat-
Cd at this time to be due, 1t should be
released in writing from all further
responsibility in the meter.

This Is but resurrection OF the
plan proposed year ago by the com.
pany, plan which the council refused
at the time to consider" said Council.
man Woodmansee. For my part
will never agree to it,"
Several councilmen expressed them
selves to the same effect.
Asa private Citizen said Mayor
Brown, Il might feel that could meet
the proposals Of the company But
do not feel that I should sign away
the rights of the city,
Ready TO Pay Literally.
The company is ready, according to
It's representatives to pay liberal esti-.
mates of damages. They declare that
It is not attempting to side step It's re-
but that 1t wants to
clear the matter up for all time by
making one payment. The assertion
Is also made that 1t will not pay one
penny for any work in repairing dam
ages, unless com PEELED to, until the
,ity is ready to take a lump sum for
Ill damages.
Indications are that the city will
within a short time institute proceed
ngs in the courts to compel the COM
,any to repair the damages done by
he flooding OF the river. Reconstruc-
ion OF the Occidental avenue sewer,
which has been flooded as much as
200 feet back of the rivers edge,
will be the first work insist
ID upon. and II the company refuses
o do this work, test case probably
Will be made Of it.
Before constructing its dam, the
company is said to have estimated the
mount Of damages to sewers In Fort
Iadison at more than million dollars.
