PARTYS PROSPECT
PLEASES LOOMS
Indiana and Ohio Safe, New York
Pleased With Roosevelt, and Con-
ditions Rosy Everywhere.

Assistant Secretary Of State +. B.
LOOMS has just returned from a trip
through western New York and the
middle West. and this morning called
on the President to acquaint him with
the results OF his observations on the
general political situation.
Mr. LOOMS was able to present a
most encouraging report. he himself
is much encouraged. finding things in
better shape than he had anticipated.
He was particularly encouraged at the
outcome in Illinois.
1T Is the general belief OF the Repub-
licans Of the State that the chances of
the ticket have in no way suffered by
the recent fight in convention. and that
the happiest possible solution was reach
ed. In Indiana and Ohio conditions
have never been better, and I count
all three safely in the Republican
column
There has been a great change in
the New York sentiment toward the
President, I find. While in New York |
spent two days on Wall Street. chat
ting with many representatives Of the
financial interests, and / find the cleo
ton OF the President conceded. so tina
there is no longer any disposition 10
make n fight. And I'm accepting the
situation. the feeling toward Mr.. Roose-
welt seems to have undergone a change.
and 1 heard many friendly comments. I
confess 1 was surprised at the extent
of this change
The only places where I found cause
for apprehension are Wisconsin and
West Virginia. IN West Virginia the
situation. 1 think. is improving. and
hope for an eventual solution OF the
situation which will obliterate the pres
ent strong fractional feeling. and leave
the State safely in the Roosevelt list"
