Temperance Question Dobs Up 70 Make
Trouble For Politicians.
Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Dec. IL. - Coincident
with the massing Of q large army Of
temperance workers in Washington, 1t
became known today that he house
leaders are much concerned owe the
raising Of the prohibition issue.
The thing hat 10 troubling them H.
what to do about the Hobson easur
proposing a prohibition amendment to
the constitution. s
It was learned today the question has
been solemnly considered among the
house leaders. Speaker Clark, Leader
Underwood and others prominent in
the house management have pondered
over 1t. They do not intend to give
1t their endorsement but they are fear
full lest the house take the bits in its
teeth some day and drive the reso-
luton thru.
The leaders are understood to real
lie that q large number Of the house
members are from dry communities
or from communities where for sub
stantial reasons they are unwilling to
run counter to prohibition. Most OF
the southern members are from dry
territory and few Of them would vote
against the Hobson resolution. A large
element Of northern members, demo-
crat, republican and bull moose. would
vote for submission Of the proposed
amendment II they had the chance.
The democratic leaders do not want
to have the Hobson amendment sub
mitted and they will endeavor to bottle
it up tight in committee. II it ever
gets out, they don't know what will
eventuate. Besides. It might elect
Hobson senator W. Underwood from
Alabama.

Especial correspondence.l

".
Washington, Dec. 12.-PAns are ma
turing to enlarge the naval force on
the Pacific coast after the Panama
canal Is opened.
These plans are in no sense hostile
to any nation but they are to be car
ried out in recognition Of the fact that
the past policy Of concentrating all
the big battleships in one ocean is not
the wisest one.
It will be the policy to keep not less
than eight heavy war vessels on the
Pacific coast. Presumably these will
be dreadnaughts or vessels which are
their equivalent in fighting strength.
In addition. there will be numerous
auxitiaries and smaller vessels.
Daniels to Visit Pacific.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels plans
to go to southern California next
spring or late in the winter for the
purpose Of finding a place Of rem
devious for the fleet which will be
maintained on the Pacific coast. He
will visit Los Angeles, San Diego and
other important ports.
The place Of rendezvous is likely to
become a place Of much naval i'm
p%ortance. A depot of supplies will
probably be necessary mi other ad-
juncts. Ultimately. a repair station
might be established.
The plan to put more ships Of war
on the Pacific coast arises from the
fact that there is growing recognition
here that the Panama canal is going
largely to increase Pacific coast busi-
ness. This is expected to prove true
Of the business done at all the chief
Pacific coast ports. Already. they are
preparing for 1t. The enlarged COM
merce will. 1t is expected, call for
enlarged naval protection.
In this connection. advocates OF a
greater navy point out that II the ship
ping Of the country grows as many be-
lieve it will crow with the canal open
ing, 1t is not going to be easy to re-
duce the navy. On the other hand,
the demands for its expansion Will
grow, Just as the maritime interests
Of Great Britain in their expansion
have called for q larger navy and just
as expansion Of German sea interests
have run along with naval enlarge
ment.

NEW ENGLAND JOURNALIST
IN THE CLEVELAND PARTY

r. W Pillsburv, owner Of the Man
chester Union of Manchester, N. H., is
one OF the passengers on board the
Cleveland touring the world. Mr..
Pillsbury was the Republican eandi-
date for United States senator until
recently when he withdrew in the in
terest of harmony and with the hope
OF breaking the deadlock created by
the candidacy of Bass, the Progress
i've.
Il went into the newspaper bust
ness with the purpose of helping to
rid the state of the control of the rail-
road and we did it, said Mr.. PillsbuFy,
in speaking of his political activities.
Il am a Progressive Taft Republican,
not a Roosevelter; make no mistake
about that Bass has tied things up
in our state, and don't know how IT
will come out
The Manchester Union Of which Mr..
Pillsbury is the proprietor, is the state
paper of New Hampshire, few news
papers in the country having the state
wide standing which it possesses. Mr..
Pillsbury is taking little outing after
the hard work of politics. He likes
Honolulu and thinks that the Homo
lulu Star-Bnlletin Is about as good as
anything he has ever seen in the
newspaper line and certainly much
more of newspaper than he expected
to find hare.
