REPUBLICANS SEE VICTORY
Chairman Brown Eipecta Party to Elect
Major and Councilman.
SOLID BUSINESS VOTE FOR MORGAN
His Majority Over Jennings Is Fore
casted as Three HandredWnraa
Contests (or Ward Al
dermen. Although the municipal campaign prac
tically closed Ssturday night, several of
the candidates improved the opportunity
to put In a few finishing 'touches Sunday.
The campaign while short has been lively,
and both parties have been working day
and night since the nominations to secure
supremacy at the polls today. Two years
ago the city campaign was quiet and the
work done was on tho still-hunt order,
but this year things were entirely different
and for the last two weeks the city has
been In the throes of on of the warmest
political campaigns seen In many years.
What the result of all thl hard Work on
ths part of the candidates and their sup
porters will be, the ballots today will tell.
Chairman Brown of the republican city
central committee said yesterday he was
pleased with the situation and the outlook
for a republican victory was exceedingly
bright.- He said: "A careful canvass of
the situation throughout the city Indicates
that the republicans will elect their en
tire ticket. Including the six ward alder
men. A careful estimate has been made
and it shows that Dell O. Morgan wtll be
elected by a majority of at least 800 votes
over Victor Jennings. Tho rest of the
ticket will be elected by safe majorities.
Mr. Morgan's candidacy has gained strength
dally and nothing except a complete land
slide, which Is not at all probable, can
prevent his defeating Jennings , In addi
tion to the loyal support of his party Mr.
Morgan will receive a large number of
votes from business men In state and na
tional politic affiliated with the demo
cratic party. Mr. Morgan will bo the next
mayor of Council Bluffs, and he will have
a republican city council and administra
tion to work with."
Hogbes Bnoys I'p Democratic Hone.
Chairman Hughes of the democratic city
central committee said yesterday he was
confident Victor Jennings would be elected
by a safe majority. Thl assertion was
made despite the well known fact that Jen
nings I meeting with opposition in his own
party and that to be elected he would have
to draw strongly from the republicans,
which Is not likely.
Figures taken from the results of the city
election in 1900 may prove Interesting at
this time, considering many of the candi
dates there are In tho field again this year.
Mayor Victor Jennings two year ago had
as his opponent Dr. Baratow. Jennings
was elected by a majority of 398. City
Solicitor Wadsworth ran against G. H.
Scott, since elected Judge of the superior
court, and he only succeeded la defeating
Scott by fifty-two votes. His opponent
this year is 8. B. Snyder, who will poll
the full vot of his party and who Is re
garded aa a sure winner Frank True, re
publican candidate for treasurer, two years
ago defeated A. K. Cooper, democratic nom
inee, by 288 votes. This year hla opponent
Is Peter Jensen, a cigar manufacturer, who,
although successful In his particular line
of business, has had absolutely no ex
perience In managing the finances of a city,
as he would be called upon-to do In the
event of hla election, which Is not at all
probable.' Frank True during hla connec
tion with the city ha shown himself an
efficient and capable officer. F. L. Evans in
1900 was reelected auditor by a majority of
506 votes over Kelly, the democratic nom
inee, and this year he will doubtless roll
up an even larger majority over Vigo Bad
ollett, the democratic candidate, who was
given the nomination when no one else
coulj be found to take it
Will Be Different This Year.
Two year ago City Engineer Etnyre had
as his opponent Harley Mayne and defeated
him by 436 votes. This year be has Thomas
Toatevln a the republican candidate against
him and the story will be totally different.
Mr. Tostevln ia regarded a on of th most
experienced civil engineer, in thl. section of .
the country, and the record ho established
while filling for several terma the office of
city engineer entitles him to election today.
Mr. Tostevln, besides serving a city engi
neer, has filled the office of mayor of thl
city.
Frank Everest was elected city assessor
two years ago by a majority of 188 over
Vigo Badollett, tho democratic nominee,
who this year I the democratic nominee
tor auditor. Frank A. Blxby, Mayor Jen
nings' former chief of police, la the demo
cratic candidate thla year against Everest
and thla means nothing short of a walka
way for Everest. Blxby'. political record la
agalnat him and It I. said he will not even
secure the loyal support of his own party
at th poll today, Hlggeson, present dem
ocratic welghmaster and candidate for re
election, wa elected two year ago by the
mall majority of 38 vote over Joe Spald
ing. Thl year Hlggeson has a his op
ponent Charles E. Sackett. an old soldier
and an old-time citizen, who stands well In
th community and who will doubtless be
elected.
Contest for Ward Aldermen.
Th contest for ward aldermen in some of
the wards promise to be exciting.. Ia the
First ward th republican will put up a
strong. fight to wrest th ward from the
grasp of . democracy by defeating Charley
Huber. who wa elected two year ago by
188 majority. With J. R. Bell as the re
publican candidate this year they believe
that Huber can be defeated and relegated to
private life. Huber' record as chairman of
the streets and alley committee. It 1 urged,
should be sufficient to defeat hint.
In the Second ward Alderman E. H. Lou
gee has as hi opponent Thomas Maloney,
the democratic nominee. The cltiten of
this ward are sat Is lied with the repreaenta
tlon they have bad during the last two
years In th city council and Lougeo, who
two years ago defeated J. N. Caaady. th
democratic nominee, and J. . D. Johnson,
who ran independent, will b sleeted by a
sura majority. In th Third ward Alder
man E. H. Brown was elected two years
ago over E. P. 8earlo by a majority of .
This year b ha pitted against him M. H.
Tlnley. Alderman Brown has always looksd
well after the Interests of his constituents
and ha been successful In securing public
Improvements for his ward. Th contest un
doubtedly promises to be Interesting, but
Brown's re-election I said to be certain.
Alderman McDonald la the Fourth ward
wa elected two year ago by a majority of
114 and tbl year it I conceded b will be
re-elected hand down. Ia th Fifth ward
th two candidates are new la th field.
J. C. Fleming, th republican nominee, has
hi opponent John B rough, who served la
th council sum year ago, but wa retired
to prtvat life after voting la favor, of

tension of it frsnchlse for fifty years.
Fleming la regarded a a sure winner at the
polls today.
The Sixth ward alderman contest Is Inter
esting tbls year, as the same two candidates
are pitted against one another as two years
ago. In 1900 Israel Lovett, republican, de
feated Al Wells by a majority of 20, and
this year he Is expected to defest him again
and win out by a larger majority.

IOWA S0L0NS MAKE HASTE
Legislators Are Anaions to Speed I'p
the Gear of I. an -Producing;
Mill.
(From a Staff Corresnondent.l
DES MOINES. March 30. (Special.) The
legislative session appears to be nearlng
a close. The senate has already adopted a
resolution to limit the time of debate and
to hold night sessions from this time on.
The house has similar resolutions ready.
Sifting committee will be named early
thl week. An effort will be made to push
through this week all of the Important
legislation yet to be considered. The com
mittees have done their work. The calen
dars are now well filled. One day last
week the senate calendar appeared with
130 bills upon it for consideration, and
every one was of some Importance. A night
session was held one evening and twenty
bills disposed of, but they were mainly
legalizing acts. The calendars tomorrow
morning will show from 100 to 125 bills on
each one, and this does not include thoee
that are of greatest Importance, the ap
propriation Tills. But the disposition Is
to make bast from thl time on and unless
something unforseen comes up, the legisla
ture will gc through tho middle of next
week and aujourn.
Appropriation Matters.
The appropriation bills are In practically,
fjo better condition than they were a week
ago. The conference subcommittees of the
two approDrlatlons committee are at work
trying to reach an agreement on the main
appropriation bills. There must be a cut
ting down of the bills at some nolnt and
the committees are finding their "task a
difficult one. During the last week they
have made practically no progress. The
members of the State Board of Control were
before the entire legislature one evening
to discuss these bills or those relating to
tne various penal, charitable and correc
tional Institutions; but they were not able
to point out how and where deductions
should be made In the estimates they have
already furnished the legislature. The
committees have decided upon not making
appropriations for the various park pur
poses suggested. There was to be pur
chased a park at old Fort Atkinson, an
other at Spirit Lake, and so on, but none
or tnese project will be realized. Some of
the bill for appropriation will be condi
tioned on the securing from the general
government of the war claims of the state.
The legislature is certain to greatly in-

Educational Institutions.
The bill for the pproprlatlons for the

acted cn. There are bills to be passed not
only for tho support of the three great
collegiate Institutions, but for each one
separately there is a bill for giving a spe

It originated. The heads of the state In

thla bill and insisted on continusnce of the
old order of things. The bill had been post
poned, but the agitation on the subject has
been such aa to make it reasonably certain
it will come up at another session and re.
celve more consideration.
Railroad 9feasores.
The railroad legislation Is in a peculiar
stat and some interesting developments
are expected the coming week. The rail
way assessment bill was defeated In tbe
house after it had received consideration
In the committee only. The vote was over
whelmingly against It. The Molaborry bill,
which wss vetoed by the governor. Is still
a live Issue and may cause lots of trouble
for the legislators. The consideration of
the veto has been put off until Tuesday.
In the meantime a new bill has been pro
pared and presented and Is on the calendar
for consideration. It is generally believed
that the veto will be sustained and imme
diately following this the second bill will
be passed, and with it tbe Hubbard bill,
which is declared to be a part of the same
legislation, and which supplements the Mols
berry bill These two bills will be sent
over to the bouse snd that body will pass
them on promptly to the governor. It ia
anticipated that he will not hesitate to
veto them, but that the legislature will
be able to pas both of them over hi
veto. To do this is sure to cause an ea
IraOKomcul bolween the executive and
legislative branches .of the government
and to bring about political conditions
fraught with great danger in ths future.
But it 1 oo th program to push matter
through to aa immediate crisis This may
take up more of th time of the week
than it Is entitled to, in which case th
general work of tho week will be delayed.

OUTLET TO ATLANTIC COAS
Plana (or Road front Plttsbara; Oil
lined by Joseph W.
Relnhart.
P1TTSBCRO, Pa.. March 80. In tho midst
of the present Interest over a new seaboard
outlet from Pittsburg a full statement of
the plans and purpose of one of the most
Interesting as well as one of the most my.
terious of those project can now be made
This Is In connection with tho Chesapeak
Western railway. The statement comes from
Joseph W. Relnhart, formerly president of
the Atchison, Tope k a at Santa Fe, and who
1 now at the head of the syndicate which
Is furthering this project.
Mr. Relnhart says:
It Is not generally known, but It Is a fact
that before the Pennsylvania Railway
company secured control of the tide-water
traffic through the purchase of the Balti
more & Ohio, Norfolk Western and
Chesapeake & Ohio, a number of men
quietly took up the project for the con
struction of a line of railway from the
Ohio river through the northern West Vir
ginia coal fields and from Virginia to the
Atlantic coast. This enterprise has been
carried forward: and nas now a foundation
upon w hich the whole structure will shortly
be erected.
This project Is known an the Chesapeake
western railway, it negins at Uloucester
Point, or York Harbor, Va where a large
acreage of land for tide-water terminal has
been bought. The line runs northwesterly
ana westerly, taxing in tne cnesapeaxe et
Western railway twenty-seven miles, built
and In operation In the Shenandoah valley,
Virginia, which Is owned by the syndicate,
through 1"0 miles of the coal fields of West
Virginia to a point near Parkersburg.
Construction work on over MO miles of
the line westwardly through the Shenan
doah and Allegheny mountains Into West
Virginia is now under way, with fourteen
milt's of track laid and over half of the
entire line has been surveyed and located,
estimates of construction made thereupon
and preparations are now being completed
for general construction.
The line Is In no sense a parallel road
with any existing railway, but opens up
new anu proiinu territory mrougnoui lis
length.
The greatest care was exercised by the
owners to secure an ocean tide-water ter
minal that would be In every respect suit
able for handling the large traffic or a
trunk line railway, and Gloucester Point
was selected.
It Is of much significance that the west.
ern terminus of this project Is at Parkers,
nurg, w. va., to wnicn city a line la now
being bunt by tne uouids from a connec
tlon with the Wheeling & I.ake Erie a
Zanesvllle. It Is also significant that
George J. Gould, the head of the Gould In
terests, spent a ween at Uloucester Point
last summer ant is tnorouabiy in touch
wun me wnoie situation.

WASHINGTON, March SO. The friend of
tho oleomargarine bill hope to secure
vote on that measure Tuesday, and
a. soon as It Is disposed of the Chinese
exclusion bill will be called up. Accord
Ing to the present proposition Senator
Mitchell, who wa largely instrumental In
framing the exclusion bill, will make the
first presentation of it merit to tbo sen
ate. He will be followed by other support
er of the bill, and It I the hope of &.w
ator Penrose, who ha charge of the meas
ure, that tho senate will be able to conclude
its consideration within ton day. after it
1. taken up. There 1. no pronounced op
position to the bill as a whole, but an ef
fort will be made to amend it In some
particulars.
There are several speeches to be made on
the oleomargarine bill, but it 1. the gen
eral understanding that the discussion will
be concluded during the first half of the
week.
It is expected that the Indian appropria
tion and the river and harbor bill will be
reported during the week. Both are sub
ject to immediate consideration, even to
the extent of displacing other bills, but it
not believed that either of them will
be used to deprive the Chinese bill of its
chance for consideration.
The Philippine government bill will also
be reported, probably tomorrow, but its con
sideration by the senate necessarily will
be postponed for some weeks.
