conditions indicate that n Republican will
be returned TO Congress from this dis
trict. Henry q. Danforth, the present Re
publican incumbent. has announced him
self for denomination and no opposing
candidate has appeared Since the last
election. as is shown by the 1914 enroll
ment and political canvasses, the Bull
Moose strength has fallen of over 60 per
cent. Nearly all OF this strength has re-
turned to the Republican party. Most

satisfied with tho tariff law and are
anxious to return Republican Congress.

There was "A report in the Senate to-
day that Mr. Warburg's name would Be
withdrawn from the nominations. 1t was
stated that the Administration had heard
informally that Mr.. Warburg had said
that he could not accept the office under
the circumstances which had arisen. even
IL the Senate decided to confirm him.
The information came direct from New
York that members of the firm OF Kuhn

business conditions of the future despite
evidences of an existing depression.
With a boom incident to the movement
of the crops they assert that an address
by the President assuring business that
no more regulatory legislation is contem-
plated by the Administration will have the
effect OF restoring confidence and start
ing things humming from one end OF the
country to the other.
To what extent President Wilson will
participate In the coming campaign is
not disclosed II Is known, however that
he will not appear on the stump through
out the country as did his predecessor.
That Mr.. Wilson will make two or thee
set speeches at important centres is
generally expected.
The supposed popularity OF Mr..
Wilson Is regarded as the biggest asset
OF the party at this time Even the lead
ers who have opposed some OF Mr.. Will
sons policies agree that the party must
stand or fall by the record OF the Ad-
ministration this year az well as in the
campaign OF 1916.

will be reelected. Indications are that no
fight will be made against him in the pri-
maries. No one of any prominence has
been mentioned by the Republicans or
Progrcssives. Smith has made a good
record with the conservative men, who
seem to predominant In this district. A
combination of ;he Republicans and the
Progressives might jeopardize Smiths
chances but the local Progressive organl-
cation has declared against fusion on Con-
gressmen and such a contingency seems
impossible.

upon as reasonably sure. 1t Is not be-
lieved that there will be any fusion be-
tween the Democrats and Progressives,
such az marked the elections OF last year.
Should such a condition arise Dunn prob
ably would have hard run. AS gem
eral thing the working OF the direct pr-
mary law has tended to leave matters
up In the air so far as the Democrats
