The Information which comes to the
federation headquarters Is that tie
Proyressivrs are generally naminating
Tor Congress and the State Laaishture
a class of men who are In sympathy
with rhe common people and who nan
no. be controlled by hhe hasses.
''Thene is every REASON TO hope"
said MIR. Morrison, THAT the Con-
gress 70 he elec.,d this year viii pe
more eruly representative than AMY that
has preceded it, at least for genera
tion or more. The indicntions are that
the number of Representative who are

largely INCREASED by 1he GaM c.ea.ion.
The same sort of leavenine process
Is going on in the SELECTION Of numbers

The infoma;don which comas 10

pAbbicans are not improving .he nhor-
acter of their nominations any, the can
didates generally beng ahe same Oil
'hand-picked'' sort that the pocticians
usually put up to do thodr hdAing.
The lDcmocra.s, who are trying 20
make "a play TO the libor vote are
nominating a .somewihat better class
than tIhc Republicans, hu. nlose pbser-
vars are shrewd enough To see the string

As Ear as President Taft's candidacy
Is concerned ut Is not Overdraw.ng the
situation panticle ito say that It
has become an absohAte POKE. The
reports put out by the Taft press agents
about "tlle Presidents chances Inn
proving" only excite nNuih Mt iihe rapi-
tai where everybody WHO has his fin
ger ON ahe politioal pulse knows bqhter
One of ths best indexes of .nhs rcil
feeling Is that al nf the mm ,pr almost
all of them, WHO hold Dat jobs undsr
the Ahnilnis.raton are rnaling privats
BUSINESS connections TO become ,effee-
tive early next March. They feel alb
sollbsly certain that they wit be sepa-
rated from the public SERVICE about ohat
time.
In private conversation they ARE sa?-
ing that Mr.. Taft Is doomed. hfAf 10
