Political Gossip from washington,


Former Representative James f,

greeting by many of his old colleaEues
on his return visit TO the capital. AT
the present time, Mr.. Watson is one
Of the Republican candidates for

cal outlook. Speaking to friends on

majority for the Republican ticket.
Party differences have been forgot

pulling together. What is true in
Indiana is true in other sections OF

Abe Lilly's managers have hired q
page in the Huntington Advertiser,
Democratic newspaper dedicated 10
in this manner are seeking to boost
Lilly and create sentiment against
Mr.. Hte in Cabell county. This is
on n parity with the tactics employed
by Lilly in various parts OF the state.
His doctrines have been 30 closely
akin to Democratic doctrines. his
speeches so plainly tending to ropu-
citation OF Republican principles and
SO clearly tending to disruption, that
Democratic politicians have naturally
given him all the encouragement pos
sible, and Democratic editors have
been free In Offering him their space.
The Huntington Advertiser, which
is Senator William e. Chilton's per-
sonal organ In southern West Virgin
ia, has from the beginning opened It's
news and editorial columns to Lilly
and his friends. and has shown at all
times n disposition to favor the can
didacy of the attorney general. Re-
ports from Huntington are to the eff
feet that this latest move of the Lilly
men to enter further into, or consum-
mate with cash an alliance already
known to exist, has disguised what
few friends Lilly had in that county,
except his paid retalners and the en-
ployes of the interests that are back
ing his candidacy.
The Republicans everywhere, 1t
Beems, Cabell county not excepted.
are of the opinion that they can man
age their own affairs without Demo-
cratic assistance. Since this outbreak
it is apparent that Mr.. Hite's vote in
his home county will be practically
unanimous.

return of the Republican party I
power In this nation"

There Is much grumbling among
the Democrats over the Wilson leg
lslatlye program" In the cloak rooms,
In the corridors and in the hotels,
both senators and congressman of
that party faith are crlticising the
president for keeping Congress- in
session all summer and possibly late
into the fall. They say that with con-
ditions aB they are, they should be at
home campaigning early. They know
that at the best, there Is little chance
OF their retaining control Of the
House. Many members OF the Dem
ocratic faith In close districts are all
ready getting anxious over adjourn
ment and they say that the only
chance they have of coming back is
by hard work at home. They make
no bones of saying that II President
Wilson keeps them here all summer
TO carry out his legislative program,
the Jig is up and they will be beaten.
Considerable opposition Is develop
ing in the house TO the administration
tariff commission bill, fathered by
Representative Ralney, OF Illinois.
This comes from some OF the Demo-
cratic members who object to the
president naming tho entire board.
The opposition Is favorable to the
Barnhart bill, which was introduced
by Representative Barnhart of In
diana. This provides that the com
mission shall consist OF FIVE members.
one to be named by the majority of
the Senate, one by the minority Of The
Senate, one by the majority OF the
House and one by the minority OF the
House and the nth by the president.
1t Is stated that Representative Barn
hart sought to show the advantage
of his bill to the president. but that
he met with scant courtesy, which has
not improved the situation.
If reports current at both ends of
the capitol are true. New Jersey can
be depended upon to roll up one OF
the oldfashioned Republican maiori-
ties at the coming November election.
During the Easter week vacations,
many prominent residents of that
state paid visit to Washington and
called on various members of the New
Jersey delegation. In Republican cir
cles they all brought the same news.
1t was the fact that there was much
dissatisfaction with the present ad-
minlstration In that state. One prom
inent manufacturer told member of
Congress that In the town where he
lived he knows personally OF at least
200 Democrats who voted for Wilson
in 1912, who are going to support the
candidate for president atI
the election in November next.
In Ellis county, Tex, n meeting was
held and n vote taken to decide how
patrons of the rural mall service
stood on the question Of substitution
Of rural motor service for the old
horse and buggy system. Out of 1850
votes, 1879 favored the horse vehicle
and II favored retention of the new
motor service. This vote taken In
Postmaster General Burleson's own
state gives a pretty clear idea OF the
OF his new plans rela-
tive to rural mail service.
