JUDGE MORRIS BACK. (
Congressman Elect Returns
q. From a Trip to the T.
East.

East.
Judge Morris. congressman.elect
from the Sixth district, returned
late Saturday evening from the
East, where he has been sojourn-
ing for the past two weeks.
The Judge made the trip for rest
and recreation simply, and his I'M
proved appearance indicates that
he was much benefited by the rest
and relaxation from the work OF
the campaign and the cares that
followed in its train. All Of Judge
Morris friends know that he
worked with all his energy from
the moment the campaign opened
until it.olosed. It was long and
exciting contest, and he retired
from it the night before election
quite worn out with the hardships
it had enta;led. As soon as he
could get his affairs adjusted he
determined to take short season
of complete relaxation, and de-
tcrmincd on a pleasure trip east
He visited Chicugo, Cleveland and
New York.
The judge was accompanied east
by o. D. Kinney, and the latter is
now visiting with friends at his
former home in Towanda, Pa
Judge Morris also visited two days
at that place with Mr.. Kinney,
and says he met with a most hos
pitable people, who made his brief
stop among them extremely Meas
ant.
"T went away on rest and pleas
ure bent, and I found both, said
Judge Morris last evening. II
did not talk politics If | could get
out Of it. l went to the theatres
in the evening, and in the daytime
I visited friends and places Of i'll
terest. / met few congressman
and many businessmen. l called
on Mr.. Hoyt Of Cleveland, who
spoke in Duluth and vicinity in
the interest of sound money dur
ing the campaign, and through
him l met Mr.. Hanna for few
moments. Mr.. Hanna impressed
me as being a man of marked bust
ness ability.> There is not the
slightest .affectation in his make
up. He appears to be plain, sub
stantlai, level.headed man. He
expressed much qualification at the
victory of the sound money men
in this district. Mr.. Hanna said,
aside from thu main issue oetwe cen
Mckinley and Bryan, the guber.
material contest in Illinois and the
congressional fight in the Sixth
district of Minnesota were looked
upon with greater interest than
any others.
II met many business men in
New Yo:k who expressed gratifica-
ton at the result in this district,
and who were Of the opinion that
Duluth and the district as a whole
would experience substantial b.ne'
fits. No one asks how Duluth
went at the election; it is the dis.
trict that is considered. In New
York there was a decidedly better
business tone, and much satisfac.
ton is felt in business circles.
Men are beginning to look about
for opportunities tu invest money,
and business men feel that there
will be material improvement as
soon as the revenue laws are put
in shape to remain intact for
period. The improved conditions
IN the East will quickly make
themselves felt here also.
Everyone appears to be of the
opinion that there will be special
session Of congress called soon
after March 4, to deal with new
revenue legislation. I think most
people favor such action. They
want to see this legislation dis
posed of and behind us as early as
possible. I shall probably go to
Washington in February and there
remain until the extra session, if
one shall be called. Possibly I
shall not 90 until shortly before
