LOudenslager on the Toboggan.

A Trenton correspondent, making Con
gressional forecast, says of the local Con
gressional situation:-
Trouble is brewing for Congressman
Harry G. Loudenslager, who seeks to be
returned to Congress for the sixth time
from this district. The latest gossip has il
that Speaker William J. Bradley, the
Camden Assemblyman, aspires to be Mr..
Loudenslager's successor.
''The present Congressman by his atti
tude in the recent Senatorial fight succeeded
in mourning the enmity of former Sheriff
David Baird, of Camden, whose influence
has heretofore been potent factor in secur-
ing the denomination of the man from
Gloucester.
1.-THE Baird people are said to be up in
arms against Loudenslager, and should
they throw their strength to Bradley, as
they probably would, the Gloucester man
would have little chance of victory.
'Mr. Loudenslager lacks even the unani-
nous support of his own little county, and
with the present setting Of the tide, the
wiseacres think they can forsee his political
finish. y
