BOOMING WORKS FOR
The VICE PRESIDENCY
Strong Movement For Cali
fornia Senator For Second
Place on Ticket.

Washington, D. c.. May 30.-Senator
Works, of California, without any par
ticular effort made by himself, has a
large sized boom under way for vice
president. Senator Works Is not much
mentioned in the current political gos-
sip which goes the rounds of the news
papers from day to day. But in the
Senate and House there Is a good deal
Of quiet discussion Of his name. The
progressive republicans in congress
wax enthusiastic over the talk OF
Works for second place on the ticket.
Just now, there is a large volume OF
talk for Fairbanks, of Indiana, for Sec
ond place. This does not arouse any
enthusiasm among the progressive re-
publican element. But If Works were
named for the vice presidency, they
would go out and take off their coats,
Just for the sake Of seeing that the
California man got a chance to pre-
side over the Senate.
