CLOSING DAYS OF CONGRESS Mr. Walter Wellman,the well known Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record-Herald, sends back to his paper a very frank statement of the situation as he finds it at the national capital. Mr. Wellman’s statement is published in th e Record-Herald of May 24, the following extract giving the tenor of it: “Republican discontent with the winter’s work and anxiety as to the outcome of next fall’s presidential and congressional elections are the dominant notes of the closing days of this session. It would not be accurate to say that the republican leaders are in a panic. They are not- But from President Roosevelt down they are discontented; they blame one another, for the collapse of party leadership j and failure to carry out a program i that will satisfy the country, and they I are fearful that Bryan may beat Taft in November. President Roosevelt places the responsibility upon the leaders in congress who were trying to 'get even' with him, and the leaders on the hill place the blame on the shoulders of the president for what they call his ill advised effort not only to dictate legislation but to name his own successor. At the capitol the leaders of the two houses blame one another —the men of the senate declaring the most conspicuous failure, that of the currency bill, is due to Speaker Cannon’s bad management, while the speaker and his lieutenants say th e fault was wholly that of Sen-

ator Aldrich, who would consent to nothing when he found he could not have his own way Not for many years have the republicans finished a session of congress upon the eve of the national convention and the presidential campaign in as bad humor as they are at this moment. No one appears to b e Content. Every one appears to be fearful of what will happen in November. It Is the almost universal belief here that Taft and Bryan are to be the rival candidates and it is a curious fact that, whereas a few weeks ago very few democrats felt any hope of Bryan’s eteaUon and very few republicans w-ould admit the possibility of defeat of their ticket, now most democrats are hopeful,while some ar e confident and a great majority of the republicans are pessimistic. A few republicans go further and confess their belief that Bryan is going to win. One man, prominent in republican councils and a powerful speaker on the stump in every campaign, admitted to me his belief that Taft would b e beaten at the polls.”
