POLITICAL TALK.
The President Holds Conferences With
Party Leaders.

Washington, D. c, July 50.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt had several confer
ences today with political leaders. He
is obtaining from men representing all
parts of the country their opinions of
the political situation in their own To-
calities. Senators CulIom and Hop
kins of Illinois had a long talk with
the president today. They stated later
that they had gone over very thor
oughly with him the political situa-
ton in Illinois. Both expressed the
opinion that Illinois would give the
president a majority of 100, 600 in the
coming election. Only Incidental ref
erence was made, they say, to the
butchers and meat handlers strike,
which up to the present time they as
sert had no political bearing. The
president is watching developments of
the strike carefully but he has no
present intention of interfering in any
way.
Senator Foraker of Ohio had a brief
interview regarding the approaching
campaign. Speaker Cannon and Rep
resentative Overstreet of Indiana, sec
rotary of the Republican congressional
committee. conferred with the presi-
dent. The speaker expressed COM
plete confidence in a Republican VIC
tory in Illinois.
Regarding the Indiana situation, he
said: "Our opponents may think they
are half a dozen, but we are at least
six, as they will discover in due time"

Talk about men not working hard for

guess the men in my department give
the city it's moneys worth. I have had
eight men quit during the month, be-
cause they said we were working too
hard, and they could get easier jobs
some place else. My plan is to fire ev-
cry man who does not work. regardless
of his political pull, and while this has
made some of the councilmen mad at
me. it has given the city of Topeka the
best service from its street department
that it has ever had"
