PRESENT REPRESENTATIVES, WHO WOULD LIKE
TO BE SENT BACK TO WASHINGTON
SHARP FIGHTS COMING.
It is a little early yet, but some OF the long
distance prophets are beginning 10 discuss pos
sible and probable candidates for Congress next
fall. 1t is said that all Of the Republican Con-
gressuen want to be returned except Denis NJ
Hurley, of the I'D District and sixth Ward. Mr..
Hurley has not found Washington life uncon-
genial by any means, but the district never goes
Republican except on an unusually large tidal
wave and Mr.. Hurley fears the wave may not
be large enough this year 10 feat him through
to a reelection. Two years ago nearly 4'ooo
Democratic votes were cast for pan" Bradley.
Francis H. Wilson will not have much com
petltion in the IIId District so far as getting the
nomination Is concerned. The district Is close
and has got to be fought for hard. Walter b.

support Wilson. "Charcy" Cooper had micro
scopic boom for this place several months ago.
but nothing has been heard If 1t since.

gresham Israel T. Fischer. from the WITH Dis
trici IN spite Of the rumor during the Cabinet
making days last January that he wanted TO
resign and become an Excise Commissioner.

John ]. McGrniss will olso be n candidate. but
