Bond in the case of Henry Mar-

will Fill Out Unexpired Term
. of the Late Senator
A. B. Cummins.
DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 7. (—
David W. Stewart, a Sioux City at-
torney and a former first sergeant
of world war marines, haa climbed
from comparative political obscur-
te ity into the limelight aa the choice
ot lows Republicans for the chert
torsi in the United States senate.
. The lawyer. It years old and one
of the youngest men ever nominated
for the senate from this state, was
selected yesterday aa the party can-
didate for the unexpired term st
Senator Albert B. Cummins, defeat-
tag a number of veteran campaign-
ora, including Smith w. Brookhart,
long term nominee.
As the Democrats will not name
a candidate for the short term, a
decision announced by the Demo-
eratte state central committee after
the Republican convention Mr.
Steward will he unopposed in the
November election unless an inde-
pendent tiles.
Stewart came to. Des. Moines with
little thought of going before the
convention and the Woodbury
county delegation launched a boom
for him a few hours before the
meeting, more as a complimentary
move than in the hope ef success.
But as the voting progressed and
the candidates whose names have
been before Iowa voters on numer-
ous occasions failed to rally the
strength anticipated, the delegatee
began looking about for a man to
break what appeared to be an Im-
pending deadlock end Stewart, the
outsider and comparative youngster
la Iowa politics, proved to be the
man.
Stewart's nomination apparently
has prevented a division of- Re-
publican ranks, united a week he-
fore Senator Cummins’ death at the
regular state- convention.
Gonmins’ adherents, notwith-
standing the defeat of their leader
inthe June primary by Colonel
Brookhart, previously had stated
their desire to see a Cummins man
selected to complete hla wer't in the
•senate. Brookhart followers had
■ declared, the primary vote a man-
Tidate to their leader to take up the
fight for farm relief as koon aa
Stewart, an ardent Coolidge cup-
porter, campaigned for Cummins in
the primary and therefore was con-
sidered as acceptable to the late
senator’s friends. Me alee is sc-
claimed a progressive and In accept,
ing the nomination took a firm
stand for “justice" for western ag-
riculture, a statement credited with
appealing to Brookhart men.
ing. The increase in bond was
ordered by Justice R. V. Gwinn up-
on a motion by state’s attorneys
following the announcement that
additional evidence had been un-
covered in the case.
Marshall was arrested on a mur-
der charge a week after the fatal
shooting of his cousin, Charles
Marshall, in the former’s garage
on Taylor street and wae released
on a bond of $3,000.
Ha appeared at the courthouse
Saturday morning and was rear-
rested in the corridor. He was im-
mediately taken before Justice
Gwinn and the bond was set at
$10,000. ,
Marshall perfected hie bond
Saturday shortly after noon and
was released. Sureties on the bond
are: William Weber, Mrs. Joe
Bartosh and Mrs. Millie Michna.
The shooting in connection
with which Henry Marshall is held,
occurred in his garage on Taylor
street on the night of July 17. He
reported to police that he had fir-
ed on two men who had attempted
to hold him up when he drove rate
the garage. Police investigated the
affair and the body of Charles
