William T Johnson. the Official rep
resentative OF the Highland Park Civic
Association, presented his case in be-
half of his people, telling how five
hundred people in West Highland. who
were entitled to accommodation, would
be benefited by the proposed Meadow
Brook loop Mr.. Davis Bottom also
rose to favor the move. and said that
75 or so per cent OF the people in
Highland Park were In favor OF the

Company have declared that they can
give a minute schedule under the
proposed change, but they cannot give
any better service under the present

OF his opinion, II the thing for which
they had paid their money be taken

make q difference of only three

for his company. that 1t would be i'm
possible to consider the matter II
changed in the least from the text OF
the ordinance passed by the Council

Thomas Fortune Ryan Says There Are
Enough Satisfied People in Coun-
try to Insure Success.
KEPT COUNTRY OUT OF WAR
That Alone Is Big Factor In Presi-
dents Popularity--People Like Way
Big Issues Have Been Handled.
War Causes High Living Cost.

That big business interests are be
ginning to feel satisfied that Wood
row Wilson will be reelected Is the
opinion expressed by Thomas Fortune
Ryan. multimillionalre of Virginia.
and New York. who was in Richmond
yesterday, guest at the Jefferson
Hotel Mr.. Ryan, In this city yester
day, granted the hrst interview In
months. and he appeared to enjoy do
Ing It.
Mr.. Ryan recently returned from
California and the West and his views
of the presidential cam paisn. obtained
at close range in the various sections
through which he assed on his way
back to the East. are intimate views.
He was reluctant to go into detail IN
discussing the situation. yet he was
emphatic in his declaration Of the be-
lief that Mr.. Wilson will be reelected.
People Are Satisfied.
There are enough people in tho
country" said Mr.. Ryan, who are
satisfied with tho administration. to in
sure Mr.. Wilson's success. The fact
that hs has kept the country out Of
the war Is one large factor, That alone
makes him popular with the larger
portion of the people. / believe the
people are satisfied with the manner in
which he has handled the great prob
lens that have confronted him. Then.
again, there is wheat at $50 bushel
and cotton 81 20 cents d pound The
planters are not likely TO vote for a
change OF admin strs tion."
MFR. Ryan also expressed the belief
that big business interests also are
content, and a large proportion of the
financial and commercial strength OF
the country will be with him in the
coming election
OF California and the probability of
its going for Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Ryan
had little to say, except that that
state will give thu President n very
substantial vote. IN spite of pronounced
Republican inclinations.
War Causes High Cost.
Mr.. Ryan would not discuss the
eight-hour law or MI Wilson's adj
vooaoy Of II and his signing Of the
Adamson BIN. though he Indicated
that no does not think that issue will
have hurtful effect on tho Dem oorstio
campaign
Ths high cost Of living he attributed
to the European war and predicted
that there will Do little decrease In
prices until after the war has been
concluded. When that would be he
had not the slightest idea
