The politicians have returned to their homes to eat Christmas turkey and there is a lull in affairs about the Suvery, which and Kirkwood lobbies like that when the Iowa regiment departed for took place at Camp McKinley the front.

There was little to remind one of the political activity of the week aside from of appearance at regular intervals a representative of the Des Moines News who through force of hahit hastened to the rooms the Gear occupied by managers in the Savery hotel and asked for copy.

The Cause of Defeat.

The Cummins man know why it is that the Gear managers are so agitated at the present time; and so do almost half a hundred republican members of the house. The Gear managers made the boast that they could retire Prentis and Temple from the contest at any time and unite tho Gear speakership strength on Bowen or any other member they cared to name. The men heid more humble positions In the Gear ranks called the managers' attention to the fact that Eaton was rapidly hay while tho Gear sun was yet behind making a cloud and suggested that no more time be lost In concentrating the Gear strength on one man. To these appeals the The Gear managers paid little attention. lieutenants were informed.

that when the word was given aspirants for the would Gear support for the speakership subside meekly enough votes for the candidate named by the bosses would multiply at a surprising rate. Thus matters went on until Prentis discovered treachery and walked over 'the Cummins and Eaton Eiker followed, and several other mem- camp. bers stepped out Into the Gear managers issued open. the Then edict the seized the bosses when it discovwhich retired Temple, but consternation ered Bowen that votes" the attempts to "multiply failed. A congress of the leaders was held, the lash was applied as never before, every influence that to had hitherto proved potent was brought strenuous bear, and at the end of a week of effort the Bowen strength is far from suficient to elect.

Eaton maintains a safe lead and his ers refuse to yleid to threats, or to supportbe moved by blandishments or the ises of reward that have been held out. A Lieutenant's View. Two Gear lieutenants were discussing the situation at the close of the work I last night. "It has turned out just as told Ed Hunter it would," said one. The other nodded knowingly.

"They have kept the speakership up In the air too long. Temple and Prentis should have been brought to time two weeks earlier than was done, before Eaton had time to secure the position. Hunter Blythe laughed at my suggestions and to this effect, but I guess they know well enough by this time that the speakership has got away from them. And I bave a notion that they look upon my prediction as to the affairs in the Eighth district in a slightly more serious vein at the present time then when I. made a few figures for them several weeks ago." Here the lieutenant pulled a small note book from an inside pocket and after leafing for a time and several rows of mysterious closely scrutinizing figures, pointed to a leaf on which appeared: "Gear, Cummins, 3." In explanation he sald that he told Hunter some time ago that at least three votes in the Eighth would not be cast for Gear, and that the boasted solidity of the district might be Interfered with to an even greater extent before the ballot was taken.

Jumping- Jack Editor's Suggestion. "I don't know but the made by the Evening Gear-not the suggestion political editor-will be the only' way of getting out of the hole, after all," continued this lieutenant. "And what was it?" was asked. "He told Managers Hunter and Blythe and has also made the statement to several Gear supporters on the street, that we should hang up $10.000 and then let first it be generally understood that the 10 Cummins men or doubtful membera who should come over to the Gear side would share it equally. This would be at the rate of a thousand dollars a vote, but as ten votes would win the fight for us, if secured at once, I don't know but It is cheap enough.

Money is no object at the present time if it can be made to win. Ten thousand is but a mite when the fast mail contract at over $200,000 a year is considered." Argued for a Prize System. The lieutenant was serious and his reference to the suggestion by the Evening Gear editor that the campaign be placed upon a cash basis and at least. $10,000 be strung on a wire to be given to the first ten members of the legislature who would scurry into the Gear camp to secure It is not the only mention of the incident that has been heard about the hotels during the week. That the proposition was rejected is true, for the Gear managers, even In their present distracted state, know better than to Inaugurate wholesale system of purchase, as advised by the editor of the sheet which, at the present time.

is being used by Mr. Hunter and Mr. Blythe, in any manner that the necessities of the campaign require, The members of the legislature will hardly relish the suggestion, however, and it has been suggested that the editor himseit be selected to attempt to put it Into practice. Mr. Hunter could continue the editorial work daring the editor's stay in the hospital, or until after the funeral, as the case might be.

A humorous entertainment was given at the Last high school yesterday afternoon by the A senior class, which was a surprise to the pupils and greatly White enjoyed by all present.
