dent handled the railroad problem
They did not speak OF 1t as good poll
but they all believed that his
course would mean many votes next
Hes the most nervy man that ever
sat i'm the presidential chair" was the
comment of one of the Democratic
senators. who not only sees Wilson's
election. but his own reelection In one
of the doubtful states.
The impression seems to be that the
laboring interests In the country will
be for Wilson now on account of his
declaration I'm favor of the eight hour
working day and because he stood out
so strongly for the eight hour plan In
his conference with the men who have
charge of the railroads.
Hearing Good Reports.
BY private letters Republicans are
hearing good reports of the effect of
Hughes campaign In the west. They
assert that the trip OF their candidate
has made the west safe for the Repub-
tlIdISs h0N9 Nv NRtt 1ti W ~ 49,
appointed regarding the acceptance
speech of Hughes say that he has now
got into his real campaign stride and
Is making just such a canvass as was
expected and which Is like the cam
paign in 1908. when he made his repu.
tation on the stump.
Destiny Of Cuba.
Many people for years have looked
forward TO the time when Cuba will
be a part of the United States. In
fact many public men openly assert
that 1t Is the destiny of Cuba and all
other islands OF the Caribbean to come
under the American flag. During the
discussion OF the final report OF the
Philippine bill Senator Borah of Idaho
said TO Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska,
who had the bin In charge: You will
live TO see Cuba a part of the United
States. 1t is the destiny OF those
people to come 20 us
That Is an idea that prevails In the
country quite generally.
Senator stones Repression.
Senator Stone one day came In and
Iectured the senate for taking SO much
time with political speeches. He said
he had political speeches which he had
repressed. adding:
II have had my heart. or stomach,
or mentality. or some part OF me. full
to OVERLOOKING with political speeches

Personally | have been impressed with
the idea that they are good speeches.

basket. would like to 60 over on the
Republican side and shake my clench-
ed fist In your faces and tell you some
things you ought TO be told
Lay on Macduff," quoted Senator
Nelson of Minnesota. and the effect OF
the Missouri senator's lecture was lost
in the laugh that followed.
Realms Of Prophecy.
Senator Hardwick of Georgia was
urging the senate to take up the immi-
grafton bill and pass 1t. There was
some discussion as TO whether the bill
would be vetoed and several members
indicated that would be its fate and
Hardwick seemed to think that the bill
could be passed over the veto.
Does the senator think" inquired
Thomas of Colorado, that the Demo
cratic party In power In both houses
would override the veto OF Its own
at this juncture?"
Il have not the slightest doubt about
It, was Hardwick's response.
Il have no doubt, either" said
Thomas: 1.-The Democratic party would
not do it."
Then both senators acknowledged
that they were venturing into the
realms of prophecy.
Looks Like q President.
Senator Sherman Of Illinois. who has
recently gained prominence by his at
tack upon Samuel Gompers. looks like
a president-that is. a former presi
dent. He looks much like the portraits
! of James Buchanan.

Senator MARITIME of New Jersey is
of course. somewhat worried over tht
situation In his state. but he keeps OF
lighting. The old machine is agains
