1 Washington, September 23-(Special.)- Nowhere in the country is President 1 Tafts present swing around the circle being watched with keener interest han right here in Washington.
 And this is natural. for it means the diff ference between poverty and prosperity to more people in Washington than any where else. While the great army of minor office holders are under the civil service. of course. great many of their officers are dependent upon the admins itarton for their commissions.
 It is hoped by these that the Presiden; will be able to confront his enemies and they may be undisturbed for another term.
 The best opinion here among unbiased men. who are not swayed by either per sonal or political interests is that tEe President is playing good politics in going before the people thus early in the cam paign and in invading the country where he is supposed to be weakest he again displays good judgment
 That he will be followed by both demo- crats and insurgents orators is certain.
 From now until a year from November we are therefore likely to be treated to the highest class of campaign oratory. and if every man. woman and child in che AS states are not thoroughly posted on aii the questions involved in the campaign 1t will be because they don't want 10 be rather than for lack of opportunity to learn.
