Political Information Sought
Seeking Information regarding th
political alluatlon aeeina to b tb
chief occupation of moat men In
Waahlngton at thl time. It It almost
certain that a man going through th
capital the day will b asked by
litu out of every ten men he meeta
a to the political condition and to
Blv hi sues aa to whom both part
lea will nominate.
Tbe Democratic altunllon la cha
otic and ther never wna a time when
ther waa ao much uncertainty a to
ho will b th atandnrd bearer, but
It aeema rather atrnng that there
should be any Inquiry regarding th
Republican candidate In view of th
certainty among moat men a few
weeka ago that Tnft would be renom
inated. It ahowa what a change baa
been created by th fact that Roose
velt will da nothing to prevent bis
friend from going forward with an
effort to nominate hlin. That 1 what
lias upset all calculations regarding
the Republican alluatlon.

sent to" this session of congress to
data lie has laid before that branch ot
the government nearly 60 separate re
commendations for legislation. These

system tbe president baa not only
consulted bla personal convenience,
but the convenience of congress also,

Ject at a time, furthermore, those
who rend th mcssngua of President

ments In the near future wilt find In

message will be frequently compared,
not only with the recent Bpeechea oft
Senator Hubert M. La Kollete of Wis
consin, but also with the public utter
ances of Democratic candidates.
