LesCeTs-Question Of Locating Con-
gTeSsional Headquarters.

welt. Representatives Hall Of Iowa. over
street Of Indiana. and Sherman OF New
York. who are members of the Republican
Congressional committee; Senator Spoon
er, and Secretary Root

according TO those who were present, the
opinion prevailed that re outlook for a
Republican majority in the Fifty-eishth
Congress IS most encouraging. President

tended trip through the South early in
the fail, and upon that occasion viii be
prepared to make number of speeches
