Culom declares that President Roose-
Melt will be nominated for the presi-

senator. who was in Chicago yesterday.
thinks the republicans Will carry the
elections this year and Will have an
even larger majority in the next con-

nois will so strongly republican this
fall ana that the republicans will nave
= handsome majority in the next gen

mittee Senator Cullom would NOT talk,
SAYING that he declined to discuss his
colleague.
Dispute Democratic Claims.
Everything looks most favorable for
the republican party" he said yester-
DAY in the office of United States At
torney Sol Betheat. Il cannot see whore
claims which some of them are re-
ported TO be making. L believe the re-
publican majority iii the next house
will be large than il is NOW. We will
elect Roosevelt president in 904, hands
down
There may be some differences
republicans as to reciprocity
with cuba and as TO tariff revision. but
all these differences Will be settled and
the party will win a great victory in
the next presidential election. The
themselves admit this. Those
of them with whom have talked say
they do not expect to win this year or
next year. but they say that they will
win after that. Democratic success is
like the milk sickness among farmers
COWS. 1t is always a little further up
the creek.
The republicans will carry Illinois
this year by majority as large as or
last election More republican con-
.,. :.
Year than were elected two years ago,
and the state legislature will be more
largely republican than it was two
years ago. We have a fair apportion
ment under which the party that has
a majority of the popular vote Will
have that majority represented in the
legislature There will be the same
fair ratio between the popular vote AMI
the representation in congress. The
can do nothing They are
hopelessly divided among themselves.
They have no issue on which they can
appeal to the people FOR support
Twill President Roosevelt have the
Illinois delegation in the next republic
IAN national convention?" Senator Gull
|om was asked.
"He WILL" replied the senator. There
IS no opposition to him in this state. /
will be surprised if he is not nominated
By acclamation in the national conven-
ton"
