none OF them are adverse to reelec-

were elected on the republican ticket
by substantial majorities at the last
election.
Interest is now being taken In just
what political situations will devel- /
Cd in the coming campaign. mas
much as IL Is not known what part
the Nonpartisan League or the Tax
payers league will play. IL is
known that the entrance OF a third
party might present strong eompli-
cations, and because of this and
the many movements underway to
unset the established order OF
things. the political prophets find
themselves unable to do much at
this date except to generalize.
