Applause followed and the senator con-

out am at home wherever I go. In my
travels ! meet great many people from
Illinois who make IL very pleasant for me
and when I don't meet them I come in
contact with other people who are just as
cordial TO me. I don't believe that ever
have had such splendid time as from
the date of my arrival in Los Angeles UP
TO the present time. l have been in beds
Of roses and all sorts OF things.
Seattle is a great and beautiful city.

His Views on Politics.
To Post-Intelligeneer reporter Senator
Cullom said: at is unnecessary for me
10 tell you that am almost tired OF be-
a
number Of cities on my present trip, and
in all OF the larger ones have talked 10
newspaper men-something which gives
me great pleasure. But a the same time
it.tires me to talk about the same public
matters so often. In interviews which I
have given heretofore / have given my
views on many isading public matters.
Yes. / favor the Nicaragua canal. and be-
lieye that IL will be a grand benefit not
only TO the Pacific coast but TO the en-
tire United States. l regard IL as one of
the most important works that has ever
received the attention of congress And
to the Lake Washington canal, / want
you 10 lay great stress upon the fact that
/ was at first inclined to work in its in
terests by Senator Squire and ex-senator
Allen. To those gentlemen the advocacy
of the canal in the United States sena te
is due. and you can say that several times
If you SO desire.
II have very little TO say about my po-
sition on the money question. ! am a
sort of a bi-metallist i think that we
need both metals, and there should be
some international work done in rela ton
to the money question. l don't think that
gold should be the basis, nor do | think
that silver should. While the money ques-
ton is said by great many to be the
great one to be settled at the next ma
ticnal election, I think that the tariff
so. / believe that IL we properly protect
our Industries Ii will mean great pros
perity to our country. something we are
very much in need Of just now. Let US
have protective policy for American la
Dor and American industry before we
have anything else"
Senator Cullom believes that the next
national election will result in Republi-
can victory. regardless OF who is put up
by the Republican party. Under Repub-
lican rule" said Senator Cullom. this
country fiourished, and 1 think that our
people have been convinced by expert
ence that no party except the Republican
party can have control without being di-
vided on important questions. The Re-
publican party has proved that II can
take care of all questions and be as a
unit where the couDtry's welfare Is in
voIved. And so. when We have another
election. / think that the Republican
party will be returned TO power, and once
we are back again we will straighten out
these matters"
n Candidate If Invited.
AS TO presidential possibilities, Senator
Cullom didn't care TO talk. but the fact
that he thinks this country should first
have protection for her industries might
be considered an indication that he will
throw his strength to Mckinley, the
champion OF protection. Harrison. sena-
tor Cullom said, may be one OF the eandi-
dates. Senator Cullom admitted that he
would accept The nomination II IL We're
offered him. bu. followed It UP with the
statement that there was no danger OF
Its being offered him.
\ Career Filled With Honors.
The state of Illinois today has not
more prominent citizen nor one she has
oftener honored with the highest gifts In
her favor than Senator Cullom. AS a Re-
publican politician he is regarded as
great success. He has beautiful home
at Springfield. For eight years he repre-
scented his district In the state senate, and
was then sent TO the national house OF
representatives, where he remained for
six years. after which he was elected
governor of Illinois. He remained its
chief executive two terms. and was sent
10 the United States senate. He Is now
entering his third term In the senate and
while addressing the Chamber OF Com
merce yesterday, he incidentally remark
ed that IL he were not doing pretty well
In Illinois he would be tempted to come
TO this state and endeavor to be sent to
Washington City as its representative in
the senate.
