Il know nothing about my candidacy
for chairman of the national republi-
can national committee to succeed the
late Senator Hanna You seem to
know more about 1T here than do"
This was the statement made by
Hon. J. w. Blythe of Burlington, when
he reached Washington last night. He
said he had come here in connection
with the Northern Securities case. He
had been expected for some time on
this mission but nevertheless his pres
ence in the national capital at this
time excites no little interest and COM
ment among politicians.
President Likes Blythe.
1t is believed by men prominent in
Washington that Mr. Blythe will ac-
cept the national craftsmanship if ten
dered him. President Roosevelt is
known to have very high regard for
the Iowa man and his abilities as a
straightforward, practical politician.
Popular In the Party.
Prominent republicans also favor
Mr.. Blythe for the place. They believe
that he comes nearer having the char
acteristics which made Senator Hanna
so much of a success than does any
other available man. His sound polit-
ica} principles present another reason
why he would be a good man for the
place.
