The Situation in Washington.

While the political situation in various
sections of the country is thus full of
interest, the conditions in Washington
are becoming acute.
President Wilson has created a new
political issue in his effort to secure the
repeal of the law exempting American
coastwise vessels from the payment OF
Panama Canal tolls. II is an issue.
however, upon which his party in Con-
gress is not solidly behind him. The
Democrats have majority in the House
of I4I members, but the previous ques-
tion upon the rule to limit debate on
the repeal bill passed last Friday by the
narrow majority of "a. The vote for
the bill will probably be much larger,
inasmuch as a number of Republicans
conscientiously agree with the PreSi-
dents position, while they were not in
favor of limiting debate. At the same
time, with Speaker Clark. Representa-
tive Underwood and many other Demo
cratic leaders in opposition to the Pres
ident, the fact is that Mr.. Wilson is now
encountering real antagonism for the
first time in his administration. He
will win, but victory may be dearly pur-
chased. There is already considerable
resentment among Democrats opposed
to repeal at the apparently deliberate ef-
forts of the administration spokesmen
to charge them with dishonesty and in
sincerity, and it is certain that the strug-
gle will leave some sore spots not easily
healed.
As stated in the beginning, a decided
political change is taking place in the
country. It is not at all improbable that
the contest now engaging the attention
of Congress will accentuate this change
The Washington herald., 1914-03-29
POLITICAL SITUATION.

There is decided change in political
conditions throughout the country. The
spring elections are telling an interesting
story.
Take the Statewide primary in South
Dakota last Tuesday, for instance. In
1917 the State went for Roosevelt over
Wilson by 10000 majority. Last Tues
day the voters nominated Representa-
tive Charles II. Burke for the Senate
over Senator Crawford, who was can
didate for denomination. Mr.. Burke is
a stand-patter of the stalwart type. He
has never. faltered in his allegiance TO
the Republican party, while Senator
Crawford has aligned himself with the
Progressives. Notwithstanding this
fact, Mr.. Burke's majority will run
from 5000 to 5000 The Progressive
Republicans, for there is no third party
as yet in South Dakota, are making all
sorts of excuses for their candidate, the
principal one being that he failed to re-
ceive support because he has not been
radical enough in his views and actions.
This does not, however. wholly account
for the decided change in the political
sentiment of the State. In the county
in which Sioux Falls is situated, for in
stance, the minority, or straight-out Re-
publican, ticket was nominated, and
there were other indications throughout
the State that the Republican organiza-
ton was winning back the voters who
had strayed over into the Progressive
field.
Burke'S nomination does not, of
course, mean his election. Il is still pos
sible for the Progressives. as a third
party, to nominate a Senatorial candi-
date upon petition, and should this be
done there is a possibility that the Re-
publican vote will be so divided as to
insure the election of E. s. Johnson, the
Democratic candidate. The belief is ex-
pressed. however, that the Republicans
will not allow this to happen. Mr..
Burke is personally popular, he has done
much for his State while in Congress,
and while some of Crawford's support
ers would be perfectly willing to see him
defeated. it is not likely that this senti-
ment will be general. More than this,
there is considerable resentment because
Clifford Pinchot and other outsiders
came into the State and attempted to
dictate to the people the course which
should be pursued. Ordinarily, the State
is Overwhelmingly Republican. The
combined Republican majority in three
Congressional districts two years ago
was approximately 10000, and this mar
gin is not easy to overcome There is
every reason to believe, also, that there
will be even more cohesion among the
Republicans next November than there
is at present.

CHILE INVITES CAPITAL.

Pan-American Union Calls Atten-

On behalf Of the department Of COM
merce OF the Chilean government. John
Barrett. director general Of the Pan
American Union, yesterday made public
statement calling attention to the re-
sources Of Chile, for the development of
which investment of American capital
Is invited.
That the building of the Panama Canal
has inaugurated a period Of cordial re-

between the United States and Chile is
patent to all who have noted the trend

try's extraordinary mineral resources as

ositions were naturally applauded. They
are worth while noting, because they
will find many echoes during the ap-
preaching summer in the Senatorial
campaigns which are to be waged IN
thirty-one States. There will be spir-
tied competition between candidates as
to who can talk loudest and promise
most. Now that Senators are to be
elected by popular vote, it behooves all
the candidates to see that they get the
support of the masses by ingenious and
attractive declarations.
Another Senatorial contest which is
attracting wide attention is in progress
in Pennsylvania. Senator Penrose is
working like beaver for denomination,
being opposed in his own party by J.
Benjamin Dimmick, who is also making
tour of the State Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer is seeking the Demo-
cratic nomination, while Clifford Pinchot
hopes to secure the Progressive vote.
Mr.. Pinchot cannot, however, accomp-
lish anything more than aid in the cleo
ton of a Democrat. His activity is
every day increasing the likelihood OF
Palmer's election. All of the candidates
are discovering that primary campaign
is both an expensive and an arduous un-
dertaking. Mr.. Palmer has for months
months been maintaining an elaborate
bureau of clerks and stenographers in
order to reach as many voters as posi-
bic through personal correspondence,
while the tours of the State in which all
of the candidates aEe engaged means an
enormous amount of work in selecting
meeting plsces and of expence for trav-
el and advertising. The amount OF
money legitimately expended in the
primary campaign in Pennsylvania by
all the candidates for Federal and State
Offices will be enormous. while the total
for all the States in which elections are
TO be held next fsll is beyond computa-
ton.
Out in the Northwest the city Of Mil
waukee will have 10 make another fight
to save itself from a socialistic admins
tration. Mayor Bading. on a nonpar-
tisan ticket, received eo,o22 votes in the
primary last week, while Emil Scidel
Socialist, was given 2I.o54 votes. The
Socialists have complete city ticket in
the field, and, unless a strong combina-
tion is made against them, they will win

Henry B. F. Mcfarland has discov-
cred that a lot of people all over the
country are perfectly willing to pay the
6 cents a year which it costs them to
do their share toward supporting this
magnificent Capital of the nation. Some
of them are so reckless in money mat
tiers that they wouldn't mind paying a
penny or two more. What on earth is

The speech of President Daniel Will
lard, of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. before the Traffic Club of Pitts
burgh, which The Herald publishes on
this page, is clear and impartial pres
entation of the railroad situation that
cannot fail to impress all who read it.
The statement that the expenditure of
a billion dollars year for years to come
will be required to put the roads in con-
dition to meet the country's require
ments is disturbing, in view of the fact
that with conditions as they are at pres
ent there is no prospect of their being
able to get the money.

Other Elections.

Although a Senatorial primary was
held in Arkansas last Wednesday, the
returns are still incomplete, owing to the
closeness of the contest. Senator
Clarke, a candidate for denomination,
has probably won by a slight margin
over William F. Kirby, associate justice
of the Supreme Court of the State
The campaign in Arkansas was inter-
esting, not because It would affect the
political complexion of the Senate, but
on account of the character of the
the speeches of Judge Kirby. These in
dicated the proper sort of political pabu-
lum for popular consumption. His
large vote was due largely, if not en-
tirely. to the fact that he practically
offered to open the Federal Treasury
to the people. He expressed himself as
in favor of spending 100000 a year
out of government funds for each State
in the Union for good roads. In addi-
ton to this S8oooooo he said he wanted
to see S28oooooo spent upon the i'm
provement of the Mississippi. He also
advocated rural credit banks which
would enable farmers to raise money for
handling their crops, and he proposed,
further, that officers and directors of
corporations violating the antitrust law
should be sent to Jail All of these prop.
