ANTAGONISTIC Is
SENTIMENT SEEN
IN WASHINGTON
NEW WAVE or FEELING ADVERSE TO
ADMINISTRATION TUMBLES INTO
NATIONAL CAPITAL WITH RECENT
DAYS.
LOOKING TO NOVEMBER
THERE is NO ANALYSIS YET, BUT
SITUATION is VOICED BY DECLA-
RATI0NS THAT PRESIDENT Is
LOSING OUT"

Washington, ID. G., June 13.-A new
President Wilson's administration has
been felt here in recent days. Ii j. ~tumbling
unanimously into Washington. IL also
arises here. There j. not 20 much analysis
of il vet but the situation l. voiced by dee
larations that the President j. actually
''lo~ing out and that the country j. max
lng ready To pronounce an unfavorable
verdict in November, when "A National
House of 435 representatives and one
third Of the 90 senators are put to the
test Of ballots. Such waves Of sentiment
advance and recede in Washington n adj
min.Strations come and 90, but there is no
~di,countmg the present Democratic alarm
over the current political status whatever
i may actually be-.
Something like il has occurred every
time the President has advanced any por-
lion Of his legislative program. Business
forces are undoubtedly identified with the
present sounding Of toc~ins. They are
making an imression with it, too. bevond
what they were able to do when the eur
rency bill was being pressed last SePtem-
Der upon a weary Congress and even be-
yond what was accomplished by way of
general disturbance Of Industrial condl-
tions a few months ago when the rail
roads were in the midst Of their hard cam
paign for an increase in freight rates. Pre-
,umably the stern and determined OPPOSE
tion To the antitrust programme, Just dis.
posed of in the House and coming lmmed-
lately before the Senate. has much to do
with the lugubrious criticisms becoming
more forccful, a. Washington views them,
than al any previous period Of the Wilson
administration
There J. not much grumblIng among
Democrats m Congress, n one might in
fer. The majority p%artisans are not pro-
nounced in their private comments. They
think the President lives too much unto his
political self. III he consulted and cooper
ated more with Democratic congressman
there would be a decidedly better feeling
toward him. The House j. certainly doing
his bidding right up 10 the hill; the Sen
ate likewise but with more elaboration II
II not - much lack of confidence in the
President a. IL 4 CONSERVATION over the
vigorous opposition. For the first year of
Democratic rule. there seemed little popu
lar approval Of the critics. The dominant
party al Washington began to regard il
self a. immune against Republicans AMI
Progre>sives.
Back of all Democratic fears for the fu
ture i disappointment because business i
not reviving. IL times would become good.
there would be Democratic confidence da'i
even defiance. That explains why III,
President IN conversations 1T his offices
has sand much about the depression be- 7.

improve. II II doe, during the next two
or three months, it will be abundant Demo
cratic answer Ia all criticism whatsoever
The millions OF bullying words that have
been printed in the Congressional Record
will 20 for naught. The orators of Con-
grcss. who shortly will become orators Of
the Congressional campaign. will forget
with their customary versatility what they
have been saying. Indeed prosperity, On
the lack Of it. may become the great toni.
of politics..
The House l. already possessed Of tie
feeling that it, work J. done. Ii was like
wise in that body a year ago AT this time,
when the tariff ball was near a conclusion
at that end of the capitol. The great APP
preparation bills. a~ggregating over a billion
dollars-how much more than a billion No
one can now figure accurately-are vir-
tually done. That j. a mammoth task FOL
