you can say that we of the east are

Postmaster General Smith when asked
to say something on the political situa-
ton.
What kind Of campaign do you
antic.pate?" was asked.
II look for "a very active campaign all
along the line, with much speaking.
The general speaking | DO not think
will commence much before the LIST of

there will be an occasional address by
Mr.. Roosevelt. and possibly others"
Along what lines dc you expect the

Il think the contest viii settle down

probably the chief one, viii be the cur
fency question. The Democratic con-
Vention has made il so They refused
to accept the verdict of four years ago.
They have proclaimed their stand for
silver. and the battle of four years
ago on that question win have to be
fought over.
There is no such issueAas imperial

no Imperialism in a free country But
the question Of UNFOLDING and strength
ening the government in dealing with
the issues growing out of the war and
IN administering the new people

is an important issue, and will figure
COnspicuOusly in the campaign"
ITO what extent viii the trust ques-
ton enter into the canpaisn?"
Not to a great extent. n my opin-
ion that is a business question, rather
than q political one, and the Repub-
lican party has declared in such legis-
latiOn as Will correct any evils that

do you think the Chinese question

mo, I do not. 1t cannot become an
issue. The government is doing moth
ing more than any government must
do to protect its people. We have en-
phatically and continuously disclaimed
