But Senator Hopkins Has Big Fight

CHICAGO. November "A, 1905.
Shelby M. Cullom will have to go through
the simple formality of being reelected to
another term in the Senate. but Albert J.
Hopkins, the junior United States senator
from Illinois, has on his hands the fight
of his political life to get back for another
six years. Already the alarums are being
sounded by the chiefs and henchmen CT the
republican organization of Illinois, and fac
lions are pitted against each other for the
coming contest. 1t Is, of course. far away
190Sbut, as stated. leaders and workers
are now laying their plans.
The prize that will be fought for two
years hence is well worth the effort to
win. A complete state ticket, from gov
ernor down, will be nominated at the re-
publican state primaries This feature of
the contest for party honors will have q
very important bearing ON the senatOrship.
as the same primaries will name the NOM
inee to be voted for by the legislature.
Senator Hopkins will then have a titanic
struggle, for conditions now forecast the
fact that there will be other strong as
pirants for the toga now worn by the Au-
rora statesman.
1t is no secret that Gov. Deneen and his
wing of the Illinois republican party will
make the attempt to retire Hopkins. That
state crowd readily admit. Whom the lat

his following, styled the federal faction. Is
as yet not on the bills In some reliable
quarters the governor Is credited with an
ambition to go to the Senate after he has
finished his present term as governor. But
some OF his close friends claim that Gov.
Deneed would prefer denomination as gov
ernor. and that some close political friend
may be chosen to enter the list as sena-
torial candidate against Hopkins It is
certain that former Senator w. E. Mason

primaries. He has so stated himself, and
announced his intention of making a speak.
ing campaign over the state In support of
his candidacy. Mason Is allied with the
Deneen or state machine. but whether the
latter wsuld support him for senator. in
the event the governor should not want the
nomination himself. Is a matter OF consid-
cradle doubt at this time.
One thing Is certain, and that Is that II
the state administration forces back either
Deneen or Mason or any other man as a
candidate against Hopkins. the federal fac
ton would have the same fight to make
which Il had to make to re-elect Culiom
Hopkins and his friends are confident that
Culfom and the federal crowd Will stick to
the junior senator. In any event, there is
a pretty ard hard contest ahead which may
involve the whole state ticket.

whisky or tobacco. Leach has never

decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups Of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records of the specialists of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
