i>tratiOn, all these matters are drawn
into politics by Contending. forces.
The Democratic administration is
thoroughly entrenched and with the
war pending and the issue OF prepar-
edness. a live issue as it is bound to
be, nothing can keep the Democrats
from succeeding themselves in the
next general election. President VIII
son will unquestionably again be the
standard bearer of the Democrats
and, from political talk | heard every
where 7 went in New York and par
:ticularly .Washington, Justice
Hughes will be the Republican nomi-
nee President Wilson's changed ag-
gressive stand on the preparedness
issue has completely cut the ground
from under the feet Of Roosevelt and
does away with the possibility OF his
being nominee. The attempt Of
the Republicans to blame the unpre-
pared condition Of the country on the
Democratic administration is pre-
posterOus and hardly worthy OF ans
wering except for the purpose f
showing the fallacy Of the argument
ana how simple it will be to disprove
such contentious and to draw the at
tcntiOn OF the voters next fall TO the
fast that for the previous twenty
years the Republicans had an unnter-
rupted control OF the policies of the
GOVernm ent. full control OF both
branches of congress and a Repubii-
can president with Republican sec
retary Of war, and if there is any
fault i'll the country being unprepar-
ed, it is surely the fault of previous
Republican administrations and the
blame lies wholly on the Republic
cans short sightedness'

Regarding his future residence
Judge Sweeney stated that his home

the necessity OF attending to his law
