st. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago
aud Pitts burg seem to be the most
favored cities for the next Nation =
al Convention. Kansas City will
put up the strongest fight for the
convention, it is said. But after
sitting it down st. Louis and
Chicago are the favored cities.
The Missouri people, and Illinois
people also, who admit that Chi
oago is the ideal Convention city,
will throw the weight of their
influence to st. Louis because St.
Louis is absolutely neutral. Uncle
Joe Cannon is at least a nominal
candidate and his name will be
presented from the State of Illinois
while no Missouri Republican is
apt to be considered, in either
first OF second place making Mis-
souri, a neutral State. We hope
that Missouri influence will be
strong enough to land the con-
vention at st. Louis, this time.

Our Washington correspondent
SAYS: Senator Elkins of West Vir-

terstate Commerce Committee, is
in the city and in an interview
said that he thought Congress
should not enact any further rail-
road legislation at it's coming
session. "Federal incorporation
and regulation of stock and secur-
ity issues may be well enough" "
he observed, "and suppose they
will come in time. But let us wait
o little and see what the laws we
now have will do. There has been
wrong doing. Whenever the
President investigates he turns uI
rottenness in management. New
ertheless there are, many honest
railroads and many honest rail.
road men. j.. 1t is more important
to enforce the railroad laws we
now have, than to enact any new
laws" Senator Elkins is the oper
friend of the trusts and crooked
railroad managers. He is sup
poaed to be in on the combine
