POLITICS NOW BECIN INNING TO
 START BOILING
Republicans Beginning to Sit Up and Take Mo-
 tice of Everything
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.)

Many random bits of news and speculation about 1886 and even l940 drift into Washington on every breeze.
 Very quietly, Missouri friends of Roscoe c. Patterson are making a campaign for his nomination for President by the Republicans next year. Some claim he already is as sured votes enough to make him q real factor in the convention.
 Patterson was defeated for re- election in the Senate in 1884. He has long record of party service, but there has been no widespread public mention of him for the Pres- idency. What has been done in that direction represents one of the most noiseless delegate hunts ever conducted.
 In various quarters there is talk of Dr. Glenn Prank. president of the University of Wisconsin, for
