Show WILL BE WESTERN MAN. Congressman Henderson on the Speakership Speaker-ship Contest. Chicago, May 13. Congressman David Da-vid B. Henderson, Iowa's candidate for the speakership, passed through Chicago, on his way home from Atlantic Atlan-tic City, N. J. In an interview he said: "I have announced that I am a candidate can-didate for Speaker Reed's place, and while it is yet an uncertain fight, I am encouraged by my prospects of success. I am not making a brass-band campaign, cam-paign, but rather working out matters modestly. The situation may be summed sum-med up as the south and west against the east. A western man will be chosen for speaker, unless all signs faH." |
