nection, a prominent republican said
today that there was "a bsarY-
headed gentleman in the senate"
from that state who would not nc "
object to taking second place on the

The time was when Senator Allison

fective service which Vice President
Hobart rendered to President Nc
Kinley and the succession OF Mr.

the popular estimate Of that position.

The din of the election battle had
not died away when the skirmish
guns of new contest we're heard in
Washington. This contest has for
its end the spoakership of the Fifty
eighth Congress. Representative
Dalzell of Pennsylvania has come to
Washington and announced his can
didacy. He is known as a high
protectionist and, in view of the
alleged Iowa detection, and the
tariff revision sentiment in certain
sections of the west he believes that
the "stand pat" men will find it to
their interests to combine on a man
who is known to be sound on the
tariff question. It's frankly stated
around the White House & at there
will be no tariff revision IN the inn
mediate future and that even the
presidents recommendation of a
bipartisan tariff commission, pre-
viously outlined in these letters,
will not mean tariff revision, but
merely board competent to listen
to complaints and advise congress
should revision become necessary.

Secretary Moody, who returned
from his campaign trip recently, told
a party of newspaper men that the
day of the spellbinder had passed.
He said public opinion was now
moulded by the press and particu
larly the weekly newspapers. "Peo-
pile like to give plenty of time to the
consideration of public questions, "
he continued "and they find them
fully set forth in the press.

Representative Dalzell, in an
noucing himself a candidate for the
speakership, speaks like a man who
has heard voice. He tells his
friends that he will have the sup
port of the entire republican dele
cation from his state including Sen
ator Quay, and this is taken to mean
that Senator Platt is agreeable and
that he suggested in his somewhat
emphatic way to Repres entatves
Payne and Sherman of New York,
both Of whom are candidates, that
they withdraw from the fight.
