Alliance Between the independence
League and Republicans is the
General Topic at Washington.
THIRD TERM TALK Is NOW
RELOCATED TO SECOND PLACE
Independent Organization May Nomin-
ate Hearst First in the Hope That
the Democracy May Be Forced to
Recognize His Claims.

Daily News Special
Washington, October 1S.-Possibly
the most discussed political topic in
Washington at present is the alliance
between the Independence league and
the Republicans of New York City. 1t
is quite relief for politicians to have
something else to talk about other
than the Roosevelt third term move
ment and Bryans claims upon the
Democratic nomination.
Mr.. Hearst is very close to Washing
ton. When he was a young man his
father was in the senate, and after
wards his mother for a number of
years occupied a handsome residence
here and was prominent in philanthro-
pic work. Mr.. Harst has served two
terms in congress and during that
time introduced a number of measures
which attracted a great deal of atten-
ton even outside of his own chain of
newspapers.
His campaigns for mayor of New
York City and governor of New York
state and for the Democratic nomina-
tion in 1904 have tended to keep him
prominently before the public gener-
ally and especially in Washington,
which, after all, is the political center.
Having so bitterly opposed Mr..
Hearst in the mayoralty and guberna-
torial campaigns, the alliance of the
to fight Tammany is not regarded
with satisfaction by old line Republi-
cans from other states. 1t is admitted
that without such fusion there would
be no hope of Republican victory but
there are Republicans who believe that
the future standing of the party in
New York City will be impaired by
this move.
On the other hand the fact that Mr..
Hearst is not candidate himself and
that while the Independence League
was started by him is presumably
largely supported by him, yet it is not
altogether a one man organization,
serves to take away the sting.
For some time it has been believed
that Mr.. Hearst would be a candidate
for the presidency next year. Whether
this will be brought about by nom
ination on the part of the Independence
league prior to the meeting of the
Democratic convention, or whether he
will content himself by merely making
showing of strength in the conven-
tion itself, will doubtless depend upon
circumstances.
1t is regarded as not unlikely that
should Mr.. Bryan insist on being 8
candidate, Mr.. Hearst will merely
make such show of strength as tC
leave him the logical candidate il
1912 and then turn in and Loyalty sup
port Mr.. Bryan in what most politi
clans believe will be losing fight.
Mr.. Hearst is yet very young mai
to aspire to the presidency. He ha
amply demonstrated that he is a goo,
business man and first class politi
: clan. Perhaps his ideas on trusts
railroads and municipal ownership ar
some what in advance of those O
either of the two great parties, but tn
claim that much legislation recent
enacted and now proposed is alon
lines laid down by Mr.. Hearst in hi
newspapers and speeches is not witt
out considerable foundation.

UNCLE SAM MAKING FARMS

rapid increase in population and the ne
tural production.
The National Reclamation Act pro-
vides that money received from sales of
public lands in certain western States
and Territories shall be placed in re-
volving fund that is being used to build
irrigation systems in the State which
provide it. The law wisely provides for
the return of the money to the national
treasury by the lands benefited when it
becomes available for use in further irri
cation construction.
The addition of these millions of acres
to the agricultural lands of the country
is of interest not alone to the west but
to the entire United States because of
the importance of continued agricultural
expansion, 1t is of interest to the farm
ers because it gives to their sons an OPP
portunty OF obtaining new lands; it is
of interest to the business men because
it means opportunities for new business;
it is of interest to manufacturers because
it means a new demand for tlIeir product.
The enactment of the law under which
this great reclamation work is going on
is very largely due to the National Irri-
cation Congress, the fifteenth session of
which will be held in Sacramento. Sep
TENDER III next. This promises to be
one of the most widely represented con-
crosses ever held i'll this country, both
because of the widesread interest in this
new national irrigation policy, and be-
cause of the widespread interest i'll nat
ural forestry, which takes equal promi-
nence in the annual meeting of this body.

The Commissioners of the District have
started to enforce the provisions of the
hre-escape law against hotels which are
not equipped with means of egress in
case Of a fire. and as part Of their plan
of enforcement have decided 10 hold I'D
the licenses Of those hotel keepers who
have thus far failed 20 comply. Il is
stated that about 100 hotel keepers may
be thus affected, although much hinges
on a case which was brought in the
Police Court Saturday morning.

complying with the law, and he engaged
Attorney James B. Green, and will CON
test the case. In the meanwhile. Mr..
