Washington, Sept. ia general
view of the political field at the close
of the week shows that John M. Har-
Ian and j. Adam Bede have begun the
hunt OF the Bull Moose in the west.
They are discussing contests and
bosses, and Mr.. Harlan incidentally
asks Colonel Roosevelt: IF you are
elected do you intend to dismiss the
suit brought against the harvester
trust by the Taft administration?
Governor Wilson's early popularity
seems to be waning in the west,
where voters are in doubt whether he
is radical or a conservative. a con-
dition due to his efforts to please both
sides. The Democratic candidate also
is having trouble at home chiefly be-
cause OF efforts of certain members of
the party called bosses. Mr.. Wilson
opposes ex-senator Smith; but Smith
wants to return to Washington; Will
son doesn't want Governor Dix to have

The American Federation of Labor
in its weekly organ, has declared in
favor OF the candidates Of the Demo-
cratic party and urges the election
OF men who will represent the union
cause.
Governor Wilson finds the demand
for speeches increasing and his in
clinatiOn is to yield as far as posi-
BILE. His latest plan includes a west
ward trip, the climax to be a meeting
with Colonel Bryan in Lincoln on Oct.
B, when the two great Democrats will
speak from the same platform. Gov
ernor Wilson, after his sensational
adventure in Syracuse, returned to
Sea Girt Friday the 18th calmly seat
ed in seat No. 10. He will leave
Sunday night for Sioux City, Ia.
Good news from the political field
is reaching Beverly. The president
hears that the Republican vote in
Washington was larger than first re-
ported and that success in November
is indicated. The Union League club
of New York has formally indorsed
Taft and Sherman.
Washington, with much interest,
awaits the political decision of Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho on the outcome of
a conference with Colonel Roosevelt.
He is naturally Progressive, and is
friendly toward Roosevelt, but may
be inclined to continue as a progress
sive Republican.
Colonel Roosevelt is in Utah shak-
ing hands with the ladies', patting
Mormon babies and talking to gen.
tiles. He regrets that he cannot
make speeches in every town in the
state.
The senate committee will extend
the investigation of campaign funds of
1908 to include contributions of as
pirants for positions in the diplomacy
service. The resignation of DR..
David Jayne Hill will be given special
attention.
New York Democratic leaders are
much disturbed by the cold wave
which Governor Wilson took to SYRIA
cuse. They declare he was not de-
ceived about the meeting, and pro-
ouce letter from his private secre-
tary in which reference is made to
the candidates coming meeting with
the state and county committeeman
Governor Dix declares he did not ask
for the support of his New Jersey
neighbor and says the Democratic can
didate for president made friends OIL
all persons present.
To those who are puzzled about the
outcome of the campaign it may be
Interesting to know that behind thu
scenes at the national headquarter!
OF the three parties there is the sam,
uncertainty, the same doubt, the sam,
liability to prophesy with any certain
ty as to what may happen between
now and election day. No candidat,
is certain in his own mind as to who i
his most formidable opponent. TIL
metropolitan newspapers are sh,
about making any September fore
casts, as has been customary in pas
presidential campaigns.
