READY FOR 1920
End of Congress Sees Campaign
Well Under Way.
Leaders Hurry Home To "TaIk
1t Over" Again.

Washington, March 1.-The end of
this session of congress finds the
campaign of 1920 under way in all
parties.
Announcement by Senator Kenyon
that progressives plan a meeting to
unite on the man they will support for
the Republican nomination for pres
ident, caused a stir in regular Re-
publican circles.
The question was being asked today
how the progressives will settle their
obvious disa greement on the league of
nations. which bids fair to be a cam
palgn issue in one way or another, in
the view of most Washington politi-
clans.
But progressives are not worrying
about the fact that some of them are
for the league and others against it.
They emphasized the point today thai
their program is one of domestic well
fare-the advancements of the inter-
ests of Americans at home, as distin-
guished from world affairs
Immediately after adjournment
many congressman of both parties are
to hurry home for political pow-wows
with their state leaders. The first of
these will be held by Minnesota Re-
pub1icans on March I. Will H. Hays,
Republican national chairman, will
confer with state and county commit
teemen and Senator Kellogg plans to
attend.
The Democratic organizations thru
the national committee plan to begin
at once a series of conferences in ev-
cry state to lay the groundwork for
the 1920 fight.
