1 R tJ The Political Outlook By F. J. Kupfer. It may bo premature on my part to prophesy on tho result of tho campaign next year accord ing fothe indications as present ed us at the presont time, cither in Nntional, State or Lo cal af "s. But from our view poii n glancing over the polit ical krion and analyzing the exist' i conditions confronting the country, both pro and con, from an unbiased standpoint, I have come to the conclusion that in Ncnonal affairs the next ad mim nation will be republican. The Senate and House of Con trols will be dominated by the republicans. There will bo a sprinkling of Labor, Non-Par-tisan League and one or two Socialists elected to Congress. The Democrats will be in the minority in much groatd num bor than in many years. The renson of this is the unsuccess ful culmlnution of the prcM!nt administration's policies in most of its undertakings. It has met many reverses in trying to pacify tho people and failing to bring about reforms which are most important at this time when dis content is gnawing at the vitals of the nation. To enumerate tho many disappointments which the people have had to contend with, viz: The League of Na tions, the Mexico flaxen, tho High Cost of Living, the nhiiBf and maltreatment of our Koldiei in foreign lands, tho coal strike, tho I. W. VV.'a, tliu constant bickerings of the PoatmimU'r General in his attitude toward tho public, and many other in stances of llku character, too numerous to mention at this writing, has been, and will Ik tho robuko at the polls munifcHt od and affirmed by large majori ties for the opposing candidaloK I agniiiHt the prusent democratic administration.

(Continued next week) an amalgamation with the Non Partisan League and the Farmers Grange, there will arise in the Western States especially a pro blem hard to solve. Providing these parties do not consolidate, tho Republican party will elect their candidates in every congressional district in the western country this side of the Mississippi river, but it will not have the same effect in the large industrial districts in the east, where I predict tho largo centers, the manufacturing districts, will elect a good per centage of their canidates to the House of Congress. The only way in which Labor can gain u victory is by uniting the discontented and unaffiliated To the Eaitor of tho Review class and with the support of tho I would like to reply briefly tn N. i t League anu 1-armors anu a letter in last week's St. Johns creating sentiment iavorablo to Review regarding tho park their cause, their platform and question. Boing quite familiar their principles, 'lhis will mean with tho subject.I should like to tho estauiisnment oi a largo enlighten some citizens of St. string of papers covering tho Johns who may not bo so well entire country and which ia ab- posted. First, tho Caples tract, 8olutcly necessary to combat or offered for a park, is an ideal refute statements and propagan- gpot and contains 10 acres, not The ParK Question da issued by thoir opponents re publicans anddemocruts. Labor is entitled to representation in the Halls of Congress and es- iccially in tho Senate. It would 01 acres as stated by a contribu tor in the Roviow, signing him self, "Another Resident." Sec ond, it is not a question of a tract on which to build a high )e tho means of checking up any school, but u tract suitable for a and an autocratic inuusiriai uu'nMuros detrimental not only to the laboring class but primarily to tho general public.much to the discomfort in many instances pleasure park and a play ground for our children. Tho park is independent of the school quest ion, and when land is required for a high school there is plenty of tho "interests" at largo. It of suitable property available. is not necessary for tho Labor party to bo in tho majority to get tho best results, but by mak ing combinations with tho min ority party it can usuully gain concessions which otherwise could not bo effected. We have had in the last legislature several instances of this kind. The fibard-Pettit Meetings Continue Next Week as Follows: Sunday: Tho Millennium SuUui liound 1000 Years.

How ninny jinrks are there in the city that uro not on a car- lino? Tho statement is also made that the nark would be A labor something like Peninsula nark. What about tho canine at renin Htila nark? Fourth, tho Carson and N ch urn tract line no doubt docs not extend (iiiitu to tho railway cut. but still comes closo enough to lie dangerous for park purposes. True, it could be fonced off for a purk, but how about the open fields adjoining tho park and which border on tho railway cut Would small children not bo apt to wander from tho park and from curiosity be drawn toward thoso dangerous banks? I ho Caples tract extends from lylur stroot toHuchanan atreet. on Lombard atroct, and extends through to Central avenue four whole blockalO acres. I would suggest that tho resi dents of St. Johns givo their hearty support to tho purchase ot tno central and safer tract, wnero the majority of our c ti zciih want it. bo far na tho McKcnna trnct is concornd, this is out of the question for tho St. Johns neonlo. and would ucem to interest the resident! of Portsmouth and un iversity fark more innri anyone else.
