Senator Hanna Talks Senate Prospects in Algona
United States Senator Geo W. Hanna of LaVerne visited Algona and discussed the 1900s Iowa Senate race. He doubted Cummins or Allison would win and predicted the governor would beat Allison for the nomination, though that would not ensure election. He favored a primary law to secure the nomination and anticipated a vigorous campaign by a younger, more spellbinding candidate. He warned of a potential Democratic legislature and a straight Democratic choice for senator, listing several prominent Timbers as possible nominees. The Courier noted a broad field of Democratic timber and urged the fight to proceed, saying Democrats can furnish a senator if Republicans provide the votes.
