Especial Correspondence

Washington, May 1.-They are hot
on the tail of II Hon. Philip Pitt
Campbell. of Kansas. member of the
house from the Third district of the
-Sunhower state.
The weather signs, as read by acute
ana discerning political mariners. are
that The days OF the Hon. William Pitt
in congress are numbered. Il they are
not. it will not be the fault Of his OPP
l'oIents.
Gets in Bad.
a few days ago Mr. Campbell broke
ol:t III the house with a scathing attack
on Roosevelt. The attack got much
space in the news papers. Then the dis
lrict was heard from and ii was an
naanccd that it would go for Roose-
rclt.
In o,l.er words. the Third district
repudiatet the ideas OF Mr. Campbell
N ,esotGt to the colonel. Now it is as
serted t:ict this will be followed up br
gently. tu, firmly. removing Mr.. Camp
BELL from the house the next time op
portuuity offers This will be either IN
the PRIMARIES next summer or in the
elections rcxt November.
Position q Strange One.
The position of Campbell in the
house has Eoei1 /. strange ono. Coming
from n state rocking with insurgency
ne has al along taken a stand in OPP
position TO Il: We roked himself close
~ to Uncle Joa" Cannon and the
noWcrs that be in The house soon after
no POT tore and has remained yOiSc6
ever since. At enc time. seen after his
Introducing resolution attachin 9
Standard Oil and this gained him some
reIute for insurgency at home while
re Was conserving with the stsrdpat-
tiers at the capitol. -.
He'd Fort to canneni.m.
Thru the bitter fight Of men like
Mu-dock. Madison. Norris Hubbard.
Heugen ard other insurgents in the
house 10 crush Cannonism. Campbell
held fast to Uncle joe and the Cam
non regime. The Kansas insurgents
have kept getting maeder and rnadder.
Campbell. however. had the good for
tune to be located in the extreme
southeastern part of Kansas where the
interests are largely. mining. Had he
been in the agricultural part of Kansas
he would have been submerged long
ago. AS it il. he has held on. Insur-
sency, however. is slowly rising even in
his district and in view of the fact
that it has now declared for Roosevelt
in spite OF the Congressman attack
OF the colonel it looks as If the Hon.
William Pitt might as well be grab
bling for his life belt
