Leaders of both parties are anxious
now to learn the general legislative
views of Representative Kent, of
California, who is listed as the only
Independent in the house, and Meyer
London, the Socialist member from
New York. While the Socialist
looked to the majority for his commit
tee assignments, it is known that he
is bitterly opposed to many of the
administration measures, and cannot
be counted on to take any heed of
party lines in voting.
BY encouraging the few Progress
sives in the belief that their party,
now represented by only six congress,
men, can hope to make itself felt as a
powerful third factor in the house at
coming sessions if they refuse to af
filiate with the old-line Republicans
the leaders of the majority hope that
they can split off their votes from
the solid Republican vote when party
measures are under consideration
and thus add very important hand

That J. A. Coburn's minstrels will

said that he thought Theodore Roose-
welt would be the Republican nominee
for the presidency. The speaker said
at the time that in his lectures in
various points of the country he had
made. point of trying out the SEN
timent regarding Mr.. Roosevelt, and
found it strong, particularly among
"the young bucks"
The statement is discounted by the
regular Republicans as designed to in
jure their cause. They remain firm
in the conviction that the Bull Moose
party is now only a ghost of its for
mer self, and maintain that Mr..
Roosevelt must come over to their
ways of thinking, as they will not
coincide in his views.
The recent conversion of former
Progressives, such as Representative
Chandler, of New York, is the strong
est hope of the Republicans that
others of the party left in the house
will feel justified in following the ex-
ample. Republican leaders believe
that the old points of difference
which split the party open and per.
mitted the election of Democratic
ticket in 1912 have almost entirely
disappeared as far as practical things
are concerned. New issues and new

In Those Tones President Of

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Joe Lannin,
boss Of the Red Sox, is going to
stick to the rooters Of his home
town.
"Boston fans must receive the GUS
tomary allotment Of visiting worlds
series tickets from the Phillies, or
there will be no worlds SERIES"
Such, in substance, was the ulti-
matum voiced by President Joseph
]. Lannin, Of the Red Sox, as he
boarded the train in Boston to place
his grievance against President w.
F. Baker, of the Phillies, before to-
days meeting Of the National Base
ball Commission.
The trouble was aroused yester-
day, when, in a somewhat stormy
discussion between the presidents of
the two major league champions,
President Baker said that he could
not reserve for Boston rooters the
bleacher seats usually set aside for
visiting fans in worlds series con-
tests, and offered to the latter only
the highest priced box seats instead.
Boston fandom, and particularly the
celebrated royal rooters. counting or
