MANY CANDIDATES FOR THE PLACE Crnrrnl Opinion Mint Xo Ipoi'lnl Hleo tlon Will lie Held to Fill the Con urcsslomil Vnctincy AVIieu It lUeiiUialei. Tho opinion prevails hero that no special election will bo held to select n mtcccssor to Congressman Smith Mcl'herson. whose nom ination for the federal Judgeship of tho southern district of this state has been sent to congress by the president. Dispatches from Washington nnnounco that Mcl'herson will continue In congress until the adjourn ment of that body about June 1, when It la understood that ho will send In his resigna tion to Governor Shaw. The namo dispatches say no win nolo court in Des Moines In I Ma'' Tbo understanding hero among court ofllclals, how over. Is that this la not at all certain, and that possibly Judge Shlras will preside, according to tho arrangements previously made. Should McPherson elect to preside at tho May term In Des Moines ho will bo compelled to either give up his salary as congreshinnu from this district or eleo serve as federal Judgo without pay until such time ns ho resigns from congress. The United States suprwuo court has held that no federal olllcer can draw two salaries for different positions. Tho appointment of McPherson to tho fed ernl Judgeship and hlH necessary resignation from congress will necessitate the election of a successor tc fill tho short or unnxplrcd term this fall when tho regular election of a congressman from this district would he held under any circumstances. Tho feeling Is that whoever Is elected as congressman will also ho elected to fill Mcl'herson's un expired term Interest Anionic: I'olltlcliui". Tho election of Mcl'herson's successor Is exciting much Intercut among tho repub lican iwlltlelans all over tho district and tho campaign from present Indications promises to be unusually warm. Tho friends and supporters of Judgo Walter I. Smith of thU city aro very active nnd nt tho name time most, sanguino of his receiving the nomi nation. They count on securing the support of Pottawattamie, Mills, Montgomery, Audu bon nnd Harrison counties and If they suc ceed In doing this Judge Smith Is sure of tho nomination, which Is equivalent to elec tion. Webb Hyers' friends aro equally confident. They Insist that tho nomination rightfully belongs to Dyers and Intend to stand by him to the last ditch. They say whatever dole gallons he will havo back of him this time In tho convention will stand by him to the last and that thero will be no such bro.iks as were witnessed nt tho convention which gave McPherson tho nomination after a deadlock of soveral days' duration. Hyers will of course have Shelby, his own county, and It Is said Guthrie will also bo for him. His frlonds say he will get part of the Pot tawattamie delegation, as tho eastern part of this county Is for him. This Judge Smith's friends do not concede and they feel sanguine of his being ablo to go Into tho convention with a solid delegation from this county. Hyors' friends also claim that he will havo part of tho delegation from Hnr i rlson county and possibly a largo slleo of ' that from Audubon. Hyers undoubtedly has I many friends In the eastern part of Potta wattamie as well as In this city Itself. The Ifact that Pottawattamie has a candidate of Its own this year In tho person of Judgo Smith makes conditions very different from what they were two years ao when tho struggle lay between McPherson nnd Dycra. Ciinh County Solid for Stvun. Cass county will bo solid for T. I). Swan of Atlantic, but what strength ho will havo outside of that 1 at present unknown. Swnn wan formerly a gold democrat who two ( yearn ago camo into tho fold of the repub I llcau party. That he Is a strong man is I gonerally conceded and Is said to tie ono of 'tho ablest "stumpers" In tho district, i Hx-ConreHsinan linger of Oreoutleld Is In I tho Held ngaln, but word comes from Adair, his homo county, that it Ih doubtful It ho will even pecuro a holld delegation from there, an many of tho leading republicans are said to favor tho candidacy of Hyers. Tho announcement that Judgo Oeorge Caroon of this city is a candidate has caused mora or less surprise, as It was not known until a few days ago that ho hnd congressional asplratloni'. Ho Is popular among tho veterans of the grnnd army and It Is possible that ho expects to draw his support from that ulement throughout tho district. I 'nnil liliitm for ClerUslilp, Now that McPherson has been nppoluted federal Judgo thero Is niueh Interest evoked as who will secure the plum of clerk of tho court. Financially the olllco Ih a most desirable one, bolng probably the tt posi tion In the southern district. Thero Is no lack of candidates and considerable wlre- pulling Is being done. While the appoint '..... ....... i .. .i... , mi'ui. ui iiiu juuku nun m uuulh wju general opinion was that If tho Judgeship went to a western man tho clerkship would be given to some one from the eastern part of tho stnto, hi ns to dlvldo the honors. Senator MeArthur of Hurllngtou was most prom inently mentioned In this connectlqn and there aro many who believe he will be ap pointed. Frank Hunter, United States commis sioner nt Ottumwn, Is a candidate, as Is li. It. Mason, clerk of the circuit court fnr the southern dUtrlct. The friends of Colonel J. J. Steadmnn of this city, tho present Incum bent, aro hopeful that he will be retained. It Is generally believed that If any chango Is mndo It will be made on political lines and then In that case tho appointment will go to tho eastern part of the state. State Senator Hazelton of this city, Colonel Stead man's deputy, Is reported to bo a candidate, as Is Attorney A. B. Askwith of this city. Local republicans am anloii3 that the cotigronHlonal convention should bo cnllcd for the latter part of Juno and will en deavor to have It cnllwl for that time. If you smoke, get tho best.

Tho house com- ' pleted tho consideration of nil the appro priation hills except tho omnibus bill, pass ing tho two bulky appropriations frr the Stnto Hoard of Control nnd tho stnte educa tional Institutions. Tho former carried with It tho sum of $753,174.0.1 and the latter , $ili.soo.

Killinl StllTl'iiuc llefelllcil. Tho equal sum-ago bill was defented In the sennto today. It wns put to a vote without discussion and Its friends had little hopes of Its panjago nt the time. It has al ready boon defeated by tho house. The vote today was 21 yeas und 21 nays, lacking two of a constitutional majority. A tompromlso hill for tho five-mile limit measure defeated by tho house yesterday passed that body today. It embodies the ' heart of an amendment offered by Dyers to tho llve-mllo limit bill yesterday, proposing a heavy penalty for selling or giving liquor to Htudents at tho stnto educutlonal Insti tutions. In addition to this the house alao adopted a resolution requesting the trui, tciw of tho state educational Institutions to adopt resolutions prohibiting drinking nmong tho students and to report tho result of this plan to tho next assembly. The ris nlutlon Is concurrent and will go before the senuto If tho slftlnc commlttco decides to allow it. Meet of tho day tho sennto spent on a bill proposing to restrict tho commission al lowed by boards of supervisors to persono ferreting out property which has escaped taxatlen. A sub-commltteo hill provided that but 10 per cent commlssloti should be al lowed, hut nn amendment making It 15 was adopted as a compromise. The opponents of tho bill argued that It would Increase tax dodging, but tho measure finally passed. At Its. afternoon session the sennto passed tho hill providing that any Iown voter may mark his ballot In both the circle at thn head of tho ticket and the square opposite tho candldateri' names. This restores the old law, which was changed a fow years ago to throw out all ballots marked In both the clrclo and tho square.
