st. Petersburg, April 1o.--<BeIated re-
turns only increase the magnitude Of
the opposition's victory.
Kursk returned a solid Progressive
delegation, headed by Prince Peter Dol
goroukoff. Tula is the only province,
except Moscow, to elect majority of
Conservatives.
The result In Moscow Province con-
stitutes an anomaly. all the Constitu-
tional Democrats went down, but the
result was engineered through deal
with the Reactionists and portion Of
the "0ctoberists", who bought the sup
port of the peasants in the Electoral
College by allowing them to name an
additional member. The bargain was SO
distasteful to Mr.. Shipotf, the prominent
zemstvo leader, and NJ. Chetyerikoff,
that they declined TO be parties to it,
withdraw their candidatures, and also
induced the Constitutional Democrats To
withdraw their ticket As net result,
the Province OF Moscow, the real heart
lof Russia, sends to parliament compare
lively unknown men.
The Recl, organ of the Constitutional
Democrats, terms the general result q
splendid victory, and adds:
"The voice Of the people becomes
clearer and louder daily. II the govern
ment does not listen to IL the country
lis destined to pass through cataclyism

Lively Contest Expected
Among Republicans
UNCLE JOE RECEPTIVE
Belief That Speaker Cannon Is Re-
ceptive Candidate for the Nomi-
nation--Fairbank Sure of the
Support of Indiana.

Washington, April 10.--There are
many good people in Washington who
believe that Speaker Cannon, despite
his threescore and ten years, and protes
tations to the contrary, is receptive
candidate for the presidency. When Mr.,
Cannons name was publicly mentioned
in connection with the presidential nom
iation a year or so ago, an lulfeeling
critic sprung the age records, which
showed that he was rapidly approaching
the seventy-year mark. Friends Of the
speaker declare, however, that when it
comes to discussion of age he cannot
be judged by ordinary standards. They
assert that he is as young as many
men twenty years his junior, that he
is strong, vigorous and aggressive, both
mentally and physically, and that, I'M
like many old men, he has not lost the
power of initiative.
The conviction is growing in Washing
ton that the next big gathering Of Re-
publicans will witness one of the live
lest fights for the presidential nomina-
ton in the history Of the party. The
list Of availables 40 far il made up Of
Root, Taft, Fairbanks, Shaw, Spooner,
Foraker and Knox, while Deliver and
Ia Toilette have just appeared in the
offing. Recent developments here would
seem to indicate that. whether or not
he has knowledge of it, Mr.. Cannon's
friends are grooming him for the first
place on the Republican national ticket
two years hence. Whatever other people
may tank about Mr.. Cannon's inten-
tons, it is safe to say that from this
time forth candidates Fairbanks and
Shaw, who are out in the open in the
race, and those who are awaiting the
psychological moment to get into the
running will keep their weather eyes
on Uncle Joe. They have forgotten that
he is seventy years Of age and must
look upon him now as at least a pos.
sibility.
An important piece Of news having a
bearing on national politics camc from
Ohio last week. X was to the effect
that the breach between the Hanna and
Foraker factions had been healed, and
that Senator Foraker will be presented
to the next Republican national con-
vention as Ohio's candidate for the prcsi.
dcncy, Secretary Taft to the Snpienie
court bench or not, notwithstarairra
The Foraker presidential boom has hepa
started, and additional significance III
given to it IN that ii ii started by men
who were formerly identified With the
Hanna faction IN Ohio politics. There
is good reason 10 belir,e that Foraker
is being brought forward az prrsi-
Dental candidate partly to head of Wee
President Fairbanks. The duties Of the
presiding officer Of the upper house IRE
not irksome, and Mr.. Fairbanks is find
ing plenty Of time 70 look out for bis
fences. That he is using his opportun.
ity to good advantage Is indicated BY
reports coming from all parts Of the
country.
