Washington March % Special.)-Re- publican and democratic politicians alike in Congress are now keenly watching developments in the Thrty-second New York district, which was represented by George W. Aldredge is the republican leader in that district and has an- nounced his candidacy for the House, to succeed MT Perkins, He will be able to force his nomination, but the question is whether he will be elected
 The district normally has a republican plurality of from 1000 to 10000 but MT. Aldredge is looked on as anti-Hughes. In the district which consists of Monroe county. in which Rochester is located, there is strong Hughes sentiment. AL dredge is regarded as responsible for the two senatorial votes in the state senate at Albany which prevented the election of Hinman as leader and resulted in the election of Cobb as leader of the senate.
 President Tafts census proclamation, printed in seven languages, will shortly be posted about the city, so that every one. be he an Italian, German French man, Russian, Chinamen, or one of sev- eral other varieties. will have the infor nation therein contained presented in form that will be inteligible to him. On April 15 the actual taking of the census, so far as the population is concerned, will begin, and for several months the enumerators will be busy getting the Jones crowd separated from the Smiths. and so on until every one has been properly accounted for.
 The fact that the President has not included the ship subsidy bill in the leg islative conferences he has been hold ing at the White House, gives color to the report that the House leaders have practically decided to allow the matter to go over until after election. It is said in the House that the bill, which was reported more than month ago. is not as strong as it was; that vote 1t this time would be too close. owing to the opposition of middle states republican members who might be brought into line next winter but not on the eve of a congressional election.
 
 there is an easier way to eliminate the negro vote than by nullifying the four teenth and fifteenth amendments. All you have to do," says the senator, lis to require poll tax in advance" This. he says. has been tried in Mississippi with great success. "It is an absolute fact said Senator Money. that a negro will not pay his poll tax or anything else in advance. If he had the opportunity to go to heaven two years hence provided he paid S2 now for a ticket, he wouldn't do it. He would spend the money, run and take his chances. It's the same way with the poll tax
 District Attorney Parsons of Montgom- cry has returned to Washington, as has also Warren S. Reese, whose nomination for the middle district attorneyship is held up in the Senate judiciary commit tee. Senators on the judiciary and post office committees say they do not ex- pect any early action on the case of Reese, or that of Steele for the Birming- ham postoffice Little importance is at tached to the charges which have been filed against Steele, 1t being recognized that his nomina ton is held up because the President smashed one of the Sem ate's most cherished rules in not consult ing Senator Johnson concerning the ap- pontment of postmaster in his home town. This has always been done by democratic Presidents for republican sem ators, and there is general agreement in the Senate that Senator Johnston Is justified fin holding up the appointment.
 Representative Heflin has returned from Alabama He believes he will win his race for renomination
