The return of the President is expected
by the November Ist and from that date
until the assembling of Congress there
will be great interest in political matters
centering there. 1t is doubtful if more
than once or twice in the history of the
country, there has been such intense pc.
litcal anticipation and even anxiety in re-
lation to matters-as Hamlet and Vice
President Fairbanks would say-''of great
pith and moment" Mr.. Roosevelt in his
southern speeches, expressed himself with
plainness with reference to railway rate
legislation and trusts and those who were
doubtful as to his views will not have to
wait for his message to Congress. The
East is with him. The South in Congress
will probably be with him. The unknown
quantity in the question will be the West.
So great and growing is the PRESIDENTS
popularity and influence, that he is fast
overawing opposition.
