three exceptions every member of the
Illinois congressional delegation is a
candidate for reelection. The con-
gressmen are now getting back their
petitions for places on the primary
ballot and these will be forwarded to
some representative in Illinois before
July II to be filed on that date with

Mr.. Stringer is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for United

made up his mind yet whether he will
run again. Mr.. Hoxworth has not in
formed his colleagues of his intentions.
Mr.. Borchers expects to leave
Washington this week for his home in

friends If it develops that he is the
only man who seems able to defeat
William B. Mckinley, the former con-

them will be opposed in their parties.
