Des Morses, Jan, 8.~ Sbecial Telegram to Tue Bre|—The senatorial scramble was very nearly lost sight of today in the s ble legislative positions. All sorts rumors were afloat concerning the situation, but the fuct must be accopted that no candi date as yet is anywhere noar the goal. The nomination of J. K. Wilson for chief clerk of the house in opposition to the Blythe pro gram bodes no good to the Gear combine when the contest settles down to second choice, It is rumored that u large mujority of followers would take up Cumming should the Burlington man fail to develop strength enough to give him o good lead should the contest be prolonged, but this contingency is not likely to arise. Cummins cannot be kkapt in the race after o few pre liminary balivts. John Y. Stone is quickly, but surely gain ing strength as second choice, and should the battle narrow down to a fight between Gear and the field, the friends of Perkins and Hepburn would almost certainly unite on Stone unless there is some understanding between the congressional candidates, as has been charged. In that event Gear would slip in easily by drawing support both from v and Hepburn, So far the contest has been waged in the best of feeling, but there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the methods of Gear's managers which nay break out at any time The lobby swarms with railroad men, n- cluding some of the highest officials, all shouting for tho Burlington man, and they are doing their candidato more harm than good by weakening his granger support aad solidifying the anti-monopoly vote ona less objectionable candidate.

Tne candidates for Unitea States senator held a conference todiay to decide on the date for the nominating caucus. 1t was, agreed to suggest Friday night this weelk. Gear was ready for Wednesaay night: Hep- burn, Stone and Lacey wanted Friday, and Cummins wanted pext week. The result was a compromise date. Perkins, Geur, Lacey and Hepburb want to get back to Washington as soon as possible, so they wish the matter settled, At every headquagters It was a very busy scene toda, Lacey has o lost of workers here from his district, and a large number of Des Moines people are on hand to help Cummins, Gear has, besfdes a lot of Bur- lington people, the mémbers of the legisla- ture from his district and alsu members from the Third und Fourth districts.
