REPUBLICAN PARTY.
SCEAT|AG VICTORY,
TALKS Of LEADERS
SEVERAL NAMES ARE UNDER
CONSIDERATION AT WASH.
INGToN FOR NOMINATION.
ENCOURAGED BY THE ELECTIONS
Whitman, Brumbaugh, Herrick, Mann,
Borah and Hughes Are Among
Those Who Are Mentioned az the
Leaders of G. O. p. in 1916.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-On top Of
the republican landslide, exceeding
the most optimistic predictions Of
that party, republican leaders here
have begun to talk about a nominee
in 1919.
The Republicans believe that yes
terday's showing gives them the
White House two years hence and
that 1t remains only for them to de
eide who will occupy 1t.
The possible candidates mentioned
arc:
! Charles S. Whitman, Governor.
elect of New York.
Martin B. Brumbaugh, Governor
elect Of Pennsylvania.
Myron T. Herrick. former Am.
bassador to France.
James r. Manu., Chicago, Republi-
can leader Of the House.
William E. Borah, United States
Senator from Idaho.
Charles E. Hughes, Associate JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court.
Opinion here appears to be that
Senator LaFollette Of Wisconsin,
Senator Cummins of Iowa, and for
mer Governor H. s. Hadley of Mis-
souri,, are out Of the running.
The Republican, and for that mat
ter the Democrats, too, believe that
Theodore Roosevelt Is completely in
eclipse.
The leaders calculate that Colonel
Roosevelt party is practically dead,
and as to Roosevelt being able to
seize the Republican nomination they
point out that his candidates were
beaten everywhere by Republican ad-
versaries
The overwhelming victory scored
by Whitman has caused the Repub-
lican wiseacres to do some thinking.
1t is thought he has an excellent OPP
portunity of bringing himself before
the national public eye Mr.. Whit
man already has countrywide re-
putation, and with Republican Sen
ator to help him it is believed he can
build UP strong machine for 1916.
In Pennsylvania the Republicans
not only have the Governor, but two
Senators. With this combination
Brumbaugh, it is believed, should be
able to advance his cause OF course,
he bears the Penrose stamp and that
will be against him.
Minority Leader Mann is receiving
strong support for 1916. A move
ment in his behalf has already been
started by Eastern and Southern Re-
publicans, and a statement of their
views will be issued in the next few
days.
Senator Borah is a strong possibil-
ity. His views are progressive, but
not radical Prior to the events of
1912, which ended in the formation
of the Progressive party, Roosevelt
put his stamp of approval on Borah.
Justice Hughes has been in the
minds of many Republicans for sew
eral years. 1t is doubtful whether
he would make the race Those who
mention him link former Vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks with him as a strong
teammate.
Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio, has a
national reputation, which he in
creased by his work in Paris at the
outbreak of the war.

BISHOPS ASK NEW DECISION.
state That Vanderbilt Decision IL In
Error as Church Has Right 10 Gov
ern University.

Nashville. Tenn. March 27.--Claim-
Ing that the recent decision OF the su-
preme court Is in error. and remaining
the grounds on which the bishops OF
tho Methodist Episcopal church,
South. claim the ownership Of Van
derbilt university for the church. a
petition today was filed before the
State supreme court here. asking for
q rehearing OF the case.
IL 10 understood the answer OF the
board OF trust to the bishops will be
filed before tho supreme court to-
morrow.
The petition is n voluminous docu-
ment OF 60 pages. which assails every
proposition laid down by the court in
the last opinion. In the petition IT
Is argued that the board OF trust is
not n self perpetuating body. but that
tho Methodist annual conference had
had In the beginning the sole right as
members OF corporation to olect the
trustees and that subsequently this
right was vested in the general con-
ference.
IL was likewise claimed i'm the petit
tioD that Commodore Vanderbilt was
not the founder of the university, but
that II was founded by the annual con
ference OF the church and that the
church is entitled to the credit for tho
funds obtained from Commodore Van
derbllt.

SMITH BILL PASSED.
COTTON FUTURES BILL, HOW
EVER, COME UP AGAIN.
Want Change of Amendment to Bill
After it Had Been Passed and Rec
consideration Allowed OH Amend.
ment.

Washington, March 27.--After the
senate today had passed a bill to
regulate cotton futures trading, Sena-
tor Kenyon, who with others had mis-
understood an amendment to legaliZe
pooling operations, moved for a re-
consideration and paved the way for
rcopening the fight on the measure
tomorrow. The amendment would an
nul the supreme court decision in the
Patten case, that pooling, with an
agreement not to sell on an exchange,
Violates the Sherman law.
The bill as passed would provide
that no person connected with an eX-
change shall send through the mails
matter promoting enforcement of a
future delivery contract unless the
exchange requires all such transac-
tons to comply with certain condi-
tions, among them, that contracts
must provide for delivery within de-
partmcnt Of agriculture standards.
The pooling amendment introduced
by Senator Hoke Smith Of Georgia,
was advocated by him to prevent such
prosecutions as that of Patten and
associates, indictment by federal gov
ernment on charges of pooling cotton
in 1910, with the purpose of with
holding it from the market until they
had reaped profits of some 10000
900. Senator Smith declared these
men should have been regarded as
benefactors, not as criminals.
The passage of the bill ends a fight
led by Senator Smith OF South Caro-
lima for legislation against practices
on cotton exchanges denounced as in
furious TO the cotton industry. SEN
ators Smith Of Georgia and Ransdell
of Louisiana also introduced bills
The three senators today, after a
two day debate, reached an agree
ment on a compromise measure and it
passed without roll call.
Among the conditions the measure
would require exchanges to impose on
future transactions is one providing
that if the cotton sold is Of the mid
ding or basic grade and the delivery
is Of other grades, then the CONNER
cial difference in value between the
grade delivered and the grade sold
must be paid. At present the New
York cotton exchange has in force q
fixed difference in value of the grades.
An attempt was made to require the
delivery of the grade specified in the
contract, but Senator Ransdell de-
nounced this amendment as unduly
restricting speculation and unjust to
the New Orleans cotton exchange.
The bill provides that no one shall
use mail or telegraph lines to send out
cotton exchange quotations, unless the
exchange adopts the specified con-
tracts. The sending of such matter
through the mails is made O mis-
demeanOr punishable by fine not to
exceed $1,000 or by one years i'm

FIELD MARSHALL RESIGNS.
AIR FULL OF EXTRAVAGANT RU.
MORS ON HOME RULE CRISIS.
English Government Stu Facing Sit.
uation of Extreme Dimculty I'm the
Home Rule Tangle.

London. March 26.--That the gov
eminent still is facing q situation of
extreme difficulty is proved by the
fact that Premier Asquith was not in
a position To make his promised state
ment In parliament. and 1t conse-
Quenty was postponed until tomor-
row.
The air Is full OF extravagant ru-
mors, among the most creditable be-
Ing the report that Col. Seely, after
ALL Is TO quit the war office by an ex-
change OF portfolios with Lewis Har-
court. secretary for the colonies.
The only new facts in the situa.
ton today were found in the resigna-
ton OF Field Marshal Sir John
French. chief OF the imperial gener-
al stafY. and Sir John Spencer Ewart.
adjntant general. from the army
council. Rumors that other mem
bers of the army council have resign
cd could not be confirmed.
Negotiations and conferences be-
tween Buckingham Palace. the war
Office and Dowing street were car
ried on throughout the day, and il
was known that the strongesr efforts
we're being adopted TO induce Field
Marshal French and Gen. Ewart to
reconsider. The prime minister call
ed a hurried meeting of the cabinet
at his residence after IL was decided
To postpone the statement To parlia-
ment.
Later. II was announced, with q
show OF authority. that both French
and Ewart at last had consented to
withdraw their designations.
In Ireland no change has taken
place. Belfast remains quiet. and
although II Is asserted that officers at
the Curragh camp are determined tc
resign because OF the Reputation OF
Col seely's guarantee by the gov
ernment. no actual designations so far
are known to have occurred.
AT midnight Field Marshal French
authorized the statement that his
resignation neither had been accept
cd nor withdrawn. Nothing Is likely
to be known officially until Premier
Asouith makes his statement in the
house OF commons tomorrow, when
II will probably be found that the re-
moval OF Col. Seely from the war Of
nee Is the price paid for the with
drawal OF the resignation of Gems
French and Ewart. and that the ar
rangement OF this was the reason fol-
the postponement OF the premier's
statement.
According to the best information
the war office conference today OF al
the principal commanding generals
OF the army was called to enable
Gems. French and Ewart to explain
that their resignation was a personal
matter. arising solely from the fact
that they signed the Cough memo
randum. wrich the government since
had repudiated. and they urged that
all the other officers should remain
at their posts.

until late in the afternoon. At night
the crowd was not as large as had
been expected and the ladies did not
find the ready sale for their delight

All kinds of articles were auctioned
off during the afternoon and many
amusements afforded variety for the

jority at the show.
