that Mr. Llttlefeld is already being
groomed by administration leaders
with this object in view.
Close followers OF the administration
do not deny the President has a de-
eided leaning toward the Maine repre-
sentative for this high ofsce. and that
r~cent events point most decidedly In
this erection.

ent in which ne expressed himself as

II was only by the most persistent
work on the part OF the President that
the House leadership was swung into
line. and then it was thought that the
Speaker and his immediate friends
were working more TO save their own
prestige than that OF the administa-
1 ton. Al all times IL was felt that II
/ Was only a hah-hearted support which
was given to the President by the
House leaders.
Meanwhile. .Mr. Littiefeld was IN
open opposition TO the administration
on this question. and very soon began
TO attract the attention Of the President
/ by his frsnkness and independence.
The ''off ON" as Mr.. Roosevelt called
him. began to get consideration at the
White House. and he was found 10 be
a public man in the administration
class THE President told him frankly
that while there were some things on
which they had not agreed. there were
many public questions on which they
did hold common vidws--rotably the
issue of trusts
This led 10 long conference between
ths two men. in which each freely ex-
pressed his views. II was after this
that the report went abroad. which has
never been denied by the friends of
the administration. that Mr.. Littlefeld
at the Presidents invitation-had
made a close alliance with the admin
lstration and might be looked upon as
the administration leader In the House.

dlsgusted with the state OF affatrs In
the House which frequently broke away
during the session from Speaker Hem

should be used at the earliest moment
for the purpose of forming new and
younger leadership more to the liking
of the administration.
In this connection. only one name
has been heard for the Speakership.
and that Is Representative Littiefeid.
