it," was the remark made here to-
student Of national politics and
has just returned from the north TO
spend the remainder of the winter in
Panama City.
I'm 1924 the trap will be sprung,
the Judge continued, (which will end
the republican rule in this country
for a long time. They have owed
large debt to Wall Street and in
their panicky rush to pay it have
seemingly lost sight of the new pro-
eressive element and have already
forgotten the ultimatum of the peo-
pie so recently delivered to them last
month at the polls.
The Newberry incident. he says,
and the present endcavOr Of the ad-
ministration to "white-Wash harry
Daugherty are striking incidents
of the folly of the republicans. ana
Judre Clancey believes that nothing
can he done now that will maIn'1Ln

II do not believe that men IKE
Eorah, Lafollettc, Morris or Johnson
of California will undertake to iaunch
the much -talked-of new Progressive
party for some little time, but am
positive that this group Of men VIII
lean their influence towards demo-
cratic policies rather than republican,
and with the aid Of these radicals ana
others the republican power IN Con
cress will be reduced to a MINIMUM
When asked as to his views re-
garding the next presidential clectloi'
tho Judge was most emphatic in de-
cIarfnr that a democrat would be
elected. and continued by saying
THE coming success OF the demo
cratic PARTY | believe will be lastiHg
and should cover long period Oh
vcars. The passage of the present
tariff was a direct play into the
hand of Wall Street and the people
have not ceased to resent 1t. Noth-

mistakes that the administration

This means that

March. but will receive approximate

As an illustration that Judge Clan
