Des Molncs, Jan. 3O.-That the

figuring In large way in the politics
of the nation is evidenced in the selec-
tion Of Congressman Frank p. Woods,
of the Tenth Iowa congressional dis
trict, again to become the chairman Of
tho national congressional committee
and the probable selection Of John L
Adams, of Dubuque, as the head of the
republican national committee. The
political information here Is to the
erect that Adams Is sure to be accord
cd the honor OF chairman Of the repuD-
lcan national committee.
Ora Williams. state document editor
and for many years q newspaper man
and political writer, calls attention to
the political Importance the state Is
assuming in statement given out to-
day:
Iowa people have n right TO rejoice
over the unanimous selection Of the
Iowa member from the Tenth district
to be chairman OF the congressional
committee" declares Mr.. Williams.
This, with the almost certainty that
John r. Adams will soon head the
other republican national committee
clinchcS 1t that at least in the domi-
nam party in the United States there
Is recognition Of Iowa as the place out
Of which only good things come. OBJ
viously the political center Of gravity
has shifted and there Is desire to have
leadership free from provincaliSms,
narrowness and the influence Of special
privilege.
"Thc selection OF Frank p. Woods to
be chairman again means u great deal
to Iowa. 1t secures a clean campaign
in the congressional districts based on
the fundamentals of party principle.

TO TEST BANKING LAW.
Powers Of Commissioner to Grant o;
Refuce Charter to Be Determined.


Special to Times Republican,.
Dcs Moines, Jan 3O.--Thc safe de :
partment OF justice has been asked to
interpret the new bank commission Jaw
and determine whether or not the state
bank commissioner has the authority
to refuse to grant or issue ccr,lilcates

organize ard start in business. Com
missioner Messenger, In fact. has pech
cnjoincd from issuing a charter to u
new bank at BoLaDarte, Iowa on com
plant of Mr.. Vail of Bonapartc. MI.
Vail claims that Under the new la" the
state bank commissioner has the pc"
or to refuse to charter new banks IL
in his judgment the baking field where
a new bark Is to start Is already
crowded or that The new institution
would not be In the interests OF the
business Of the community
Commissioner Messenger has taken
the position heretofore that the la"
did not give him authority to refuse
charters to banks on any other GROUND
than irrespons!iility OF the parties. II
the men wishing to start such an IN
s.itution are reliable and trustworthy
and their proposition Is fair and honest
the charters are granted on sucil H.
showing. The question as to whether
or not there Is Il business field for the
institution he has not raised.
The injunction restraining Commls-
sioncr Messenger from Charter'ng the
new bank in Bonaparte was issued IN
the Polk county district court day or
% ago. 1t Is a new question when mas
lever before come up In the courts
..ere. The stockholders In the proposeu
new bank are all farmers. 1t Is re-
ported, and the cashier and manager
formerly were farmers.

ton OF why the movement to
GUST chairman Frank Woods as
head Of the republican congregational
committe failed and why he was re-
elected were in order today
The chief reason why Representative
Madden dropped out and the Iowa

old guard republicans were told it
would not do to pick Madden: that he
would be assailed ns renctlonary and
the whole conduct Of the campaign
would suffer.
