early date, Hanna's reputation is practlz
cally staked among his corporation
friends on favorable action on this
subsidy shipping bill, and, if he fails to
get 1T through the senate. as now seems
possible, he will not only lose prestige
with these capitalists. but personal finan-
claf advancement as well. It is evident
that the Quay men propose to carry out
the threat recently made to either send
the bill over until next session or vote
1t down, If Mr.. Hanna is successful
enough to have it taken up for consider
alton before adjournment

There is a great deal of gossip coming
to Washington city from the Northwest
ern states regarding the chances of rep
resentatives in the present house in Sc
curing nominations for the places they
now hold
Shortly after the Puerto Rican bill pass
ed the house it was believed that the ma
Jority Of the Republican members who
voted for this measure from Minnesota.
for instance, would fail to secure indorse-'
ments at the various congressional con
ventions. 1t may be well to state, in
passing, that it was further believed that
Republican members from other states
who advocated and voted for this bill
would likewise fail of further oppor-
tunfty to represent their congressional
districts in the lower branch Of congress
The latest information from the North
western states indicates that at least part
OF the men seeking Endorsement in the
various congressional districts will be re-
nominated. In Minnesota Mr.. TaWneY the
Republican representative from the First ,
district, feels certain of denomination
Mr.. McCleary, of the Second Minnesota
district, will be the Republican candidate
at the polls again this fall according to
report In the Third district Mr. Heat
wole who voted against the mea sure
can have the nomination If he desires it,
and, without doubt, he does Mr. Fletch-
er, from the Hennepin county district
who voted against the bill. will receive
another nomination at the hands of the
Republicans in his district Whether Mr..
Morris, of the Sixth district, or Mr.. Eddy.
of the Seventh, will be as lucky as their
colleagues. is considered extremely
doubtful. Should they receive the in
dorsement they are seeking, 1t is consider
ed impossible for them to have the vot-
ers inderse them at the polls. By this 1t
is meant that If Morris and Eddy are re-
nominated. they will not be able to Sc
cure reelection next November
In Wisconsin the Republican members
anticipate success next November, but
the Democrats predict that at least five
out of the eleven members from that
state will be Democrats. North Dakota
is certain to renominate and re-elect Mr.
Spaulding, its present representative Mr..
Campbell will be renominated as Mon
tana's representative In the lower house,
but will probably be defeated. Messrs.
Cushman and Jones. of Washington, will
receive their party's Endorsement in their
districts. but the Democrats say they
will be defeated next November. James
Hamilton Lewis, If not nominated for
the vice presidency, will oppose Mr.
Cushman, of Tacoma, during this cam
paign, and his friends say that he will
win "hands down" In California Dem
ocratic landslide is looked for in the sew
en- congressional districts. The only Re
publican likely to pull through In the
Golden Stale Is Julius Kahn. of San Fran
