the contested cases the chances are all

However, 1t is apparent that the
chances for change in politics are
Is frequent as they are in any other
activity where the opportunity. for
nominations are so numerous. So
L need not surprise anyone If Elder
finds himself confronted with a bitter
contest, in which he will be compelled
to sue all his force and address. It
may even be that he will be COM
PEELED to call on support from the ma
lonal administration. There seems to
, ca growing sentiment that this can
done, and that the Macedonian
call Tor assistance could not be ig-
nOred by powers at Washington.
Some Interesting Claims Made.

etlng claims for himself during the
past week For some time a troup
