The Journals Washington cor
respondent writes Of the growing
favor Of Senator John ". Weeks OF
Massachusetts,. as a Republican stan
dard bearer u 1916. Among all the
names mentioned as . possibility In
the eastern states. perhaps no Other
would so quickly appeal to the popu-
lar sense OF fitness from every stand
point Senator Weeks is well and
widely known He is leader OF men
He appeals to the practical and COM
mon sense. He sees TAR and acts
wisely. He analyses conditions; he
never forge,s that he is an American,
and that Americas interests are hrs,
He has 40 idle dreams concerning
business affairs. He never COM
promises the future for temporary ad
vantage in the present He is the
antidote 20 ca,ch-an fallacy. He is
the antoaym Of the present admins
tra.ion-
Senator Weeks is one Of the strong.
es, opponents OF the Wilson ship pur-
chase notion. and has thus early made
his associates realize the magnitude
Of his grasp Of such matters. He has
pointed out other striking failures Of
the present administration: that the
Underwood bill not only fails TO pro-
vide the necessary, revenues but has
robbed American industries and labor
IN the Interests OF foreign WORKS and
vorkingmen. In his mind. American
interests in Mexico have been aban-
doned while the stunning policy OF
Wilson Organism has created (
regime Of anarchy in that country
unknown even in that land Of up-iE-
ings and brigandage. Senator Weeks
pleads for national bulge, system, 2
nerchan, marine, and release from
the uncertainties which overshadow
the business OF this country
The ut,erances OF Senator Weeks
have been those Of a bread gauge
mind Of more than one track We
predict q strong following IN the Mid
die West for such z candidate as New
England would offer IN Senator Week.
