A Congregational Forecast.

Public reports say that Hon. Charlie,
A. Prouty of Newport, at present a
member OF the Interstate Commerce
commission, is not adverse to represent
ing the Second Congressional district in
Congress. Col. Haskins is receiving a
strong support for reelection. Gov. Bell,
it is said, has his eyes fixed on the prize
and Mr. Prouty's entrance into the
campaign will increase the interest al
ready awakened in the matter. With
three such strong candidates to select
from the Second district is fortunate. The
Congressional convention of the Second
district will be an exciting gathering.
Without attempting to forecast the
result it looks to US at present as if our
present preventative, Col. Haskins, will
succeed himself White River Junction

The President and His Party.
President Roosevelt is not the choice of
the national republican machine; he has
always had the hatred and opposition of
the party bosses.
He became president in the first place
by accident; he was elected in the second
place on account of personal popularity.
1t has been many years since individu.
atty has cut so considerable figure in
the selection Of a president.
He is therefore president, not a pro.
tege.
He naturally realizes that the country
has endorsed him, not the machine, and
that the people want him to follow the
dictates Of his judgment and conscience,
not the behests Of the confidential agents
OF syndicates who have for years been
the bosses OF the republican party.
The upshot OF it alis that there is bit.
ter and relentless war between Roosevelt
and his party.
The president is against special inter.
ests; the republican party is organized
special interests.
The result is inevitable.
Roosevelt will win by default or the re.
publican organization will be DESTROYED.
Roosevelt is weaker in Congress than
he is before the people. The public has
more faith in the man than it has in the
party.
Thus in the last analysis he is stronger
than his party.
Which will surrender or which will be
crushed : That is the question.

reaching significance is about to be

FRANCE IS FACING
A SERIOUS CRISIS
Strikes I1crease-Mob Violence

- Republic. ~

Journal Special Service. - d d
Paris, April 24,-Conditions are.
growing serious. France is face to face
with the gravest peril that can menace
democracy or any form Of government.
The law has bowed before the mob in
more than one disturbed district, with
the inevitable result. Rebellion is be-,
gun and anarchy threatens to follow
swiftly, not only at the scenes Of pre-
vailing riots, but in Paris itself.
The attention of the world cannot
fail to be concentrated on the tremen
dous object lesson in modern statecraft
which France will be compelled to fur
nish in the next few days. Many prep
arations are being made for an eventu-
atty. Alarm has reached many for
eign visitors thru the consulates, and
strangers are preparing to leave.
Government Faces Crisis.
The difficulties Of the government in
| the present crisis are enormous, but
they largely are of it's own making.
| The causes which will decide the re-
suit Of the pending. election lie not in
the past, but in the intervening ten
days before the country goes to the
polls.
Since the retirement of Prime Min
lister Waldeck Rousseau, the country
has not had a strong government in
| it's internal administration. Weakness
first manifested itself in tolerance Of
verbal defiance of law. Even Presi-
| dent Loubet on one occasion permitted
a red flag to pass him in procession
without protest. Virtual treason had
been talked openly in certain quarters
for months. There will be attempts
made to connect the present labor in
Esurrection and agitation against the
religious-separation law. r.
Agitators Are encouraged.
It is foregone conclusion that the
successful defiance of law will encour-
forward their schemes Of undermining
the government. All enemies Of the
recent regime, tho there is no direct
cooperation, advanced to the attack
simultaneously. Royalists, clericals
anarchists and socialists are reinforced
by the great bogy Of organized labor
whose rank and file are not enemies of
the republic, but whose unscrupulous
leaders have seized the opportunity to
press demands which they know are
impossible of attainment in ordinary
times. s-.. - ~
