Senators McComas and For
aker Talk Politics.
BOTH ARE HOPEFUL
THE FORMER SAYS SIGNS ARE EN-
COURAGING IN MARYLAND.
The Latter Has Seen Nothing but 8
Rosy Outlook for Republicans
in the West.

Senator McComas of Maryland returned
from Massachusetts, today. having gone
there to attend the funeral of Senator
Hoar, and called at the White House to
talk to the President about political con-
ditions In Maryland and elsewhere.
1--WE are exceedingly hopeful.2 said the
Maryland senator. THE signs are most
encouraging in my state. Here in Wash
ington you always hear that Maryland is
democratic This is true in republican
years as well as In democratic years, but 1t
will not do to accept that view too often
We are feeling more hopeful each day, and
the feeling is shared generally by repub-
licans in the state. l find in New York
that there is difference of opinion as to
that state, depending whether you are
democrat or republican. In New York
city the atmosphere is democratic, while up
the state it is republican. As to Delaware
New Jersey and Connecticut, there does
not appear to be any doubt. The differ
ences in Delaware are to be adjusted. l
see, and this will give the state to Roose-
welt without question. think this is true
even if the differences on the state ticket
continue, inasmuch there is only one
electoral ticket in the field. There is no
good reason to think that West Virginia
will go democratic. My old Congressional
district borders on West Virginia for two
hundred miles, and 1 think the indications
in that state are all with the republicans.
They will carry the state in my opinion, by
a good majority. I refer to the electoral
ticket of course, and not to the state
ticket There are some complication in
the state as to local tickets. and l do not
know how these will affect the outcome
senator MSComas will make some
before the end Of the campaign.

OF Senator Hoar end is passing through
washington. He, too, called on the Presi-
dent to pay his respects. Senator Foraker
has been making some speeches in Ne
braska, Iowa, Kansas, Indiana Michigan
and Wisconsin. In all these states he has
seen nothing but the most rosy outlook for
the republican national ticket When asked
about Nebraska, he said: 1.-The republican
electoral ticket will carry the state by a
large majority. AS to the fight of the
democrats and fusion forces for the legis-
iature, do not know. Bryan is making a
hard fight to secure a legislature that will
send him to the Senate

state matters. Mr.. Stevens on leaving the

state was excellent for the President
Il am satisfied Mr.. Roosevelt will get a

right along all through the state and our
majority may be even greater than that. 1
