One of the encouraging signs for re-
publicsns this year is the small num-
Der Of contests that will be presented
before the national committee at the
Chicago convention. Four years ago,
several hundred seats were contested. I.
This year there will be only forty-four
claimed by rival delegations and the
issues are purely local, involving no
questions that will arouse -antagonisms
in the committee or In the convention.
Four years ago the split in the republi.
can party had it's beginning in the
fight over contested delegations. This
gear none of the presidential aspirants
nor his friends care anything about
the contests.

T1NKERING THE SHIPPING BILL

TINKERING THE SHIPPING BILL
Stirred by the successful revolt on
the PHILIPPINES bill and BY the rejection
of the government-owned nitrate plant
which the army bill proposes, admins
trstion leaders in Congress are now at
tempting to modify the provisions Of
the shipping bill so a. to avert another
defeat for one Of the Presidents pet
measures.
There is good ground for the fear
which this course evidences. The same
men who were most active In opposi-
ton to the Philippines bill are oppos-
cd to the shipping bill. Their opposi-
tion is not so much with reference to
details of the measure as to the under.
lying principle Of government owner
ehip-and it is doubtful II they can be
won to support the proposition in any
form. However, the cub committee
which has the bill in charge is now en-
deavoring to tinker the project so as to
make it applicable only for five years,
at the end of which time the govern
ment owned ships are to be sold, and
II no customer appears they are to be
withdrawn from operation.
e In this form the measure would be q
mere mskeshift and q costly one at
that. 1t might save the presidents
face hut thara Ia M warrant of law
for expending millions of public money
for that purpose. Moreover, 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful IL the shipping bill
can command a majority of the house
no matter how it is tinkered. There is
suspicion Of the bills origin in Wash
ington which cannot be lulled-snd II
the administration leaders who are now
taxing their brains with the problem
really wish to do something effective
with the shipping bill they will forth.
with abandon 1t utterly.

In dealing with the Philippines bill
the house not only displayed scant
consideration for the views of the pres
ident as expressed in a letter which he
wrote to the democratic caucus, but
there was also demonstrated lack Of
courtesy for the senate which would
have caused good deal OF a com
motion few years ago. The house not
only rejected the senate bill, but 1t
adopted bill which had never even
been reported to the house. and then
instructed it's conferees to accept no
notifications of the essential provis-
ions of its legislstions. This Is con-
elusive evidence of the lack of team
work in the democratic party-which
Mr.. Wilson has always insisted upon
having. Not only can he not secure
scauiescence from the house in plans
which he has much at heart but the
house will not work in oonsonance
with the senate.

Washington, May 26. Especial Cor
