Show THEY MUST H HUSTLE us T thib YEAR SENATORS HAVE TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE FOR RE ELECTION WANT EARLY adjournment coming campaign promises to de unusually interesting Inter eiting and may seo president wilson teft and roosevelt all on an stump oy by GEORGE CLINTON washington ono one reason why con gress Is in anxious to have an adjournment which will enable tho the morn members bers to got back into tho political campaign field early la in that this year united states senators who wish fah to bo be reelected must go directly to tho the people for their votee votes tula Is tho the first timo time in il tho history of th 3 country that sun son atoll havo have been on a piano with the representatives lo 10 tho the manner ot of election the representatives need not extend campaigning outside their districts dialects but a senator must take in the whole antao As washington politicians view it the coming campaign Is to bo be an unusually interesting one notwithstanding that tho the claim that they not only will hold tho the house of cepro senta tives by the present majority but largely will increase IL 11 the republicans say any thero there Is business unrest and that many of tho the democrats Demo cru will lose their seats because of it IL tho the pro gres assort assert they will elect more members of congress than they have at rt present because as thoy they declare their principle principles and their platform are appealing more and more to the people the republican republicans of course are worried over the continuance in the flold field of the progressives Progress ives they think perhaps that amalgamation of the two parties will bo be it matter of tiro we near future but as washington views it amal ga matlon Is to just as far oft off as an ever and perhaps farther oft than over in ono sense sinco since the return of theodore roosevelt to this country mr roosevelt has reaffirmed the progressive pledge which he gave just before he sailed for south america lie ile Is going to stump tho country und I 1 is booked to beah jn a good many districts i where republicans who were vere members of congress some ago and who are known as extor extreme me conservatives aro are to stand this year for election reelection re ro ve allson to take the stump it seems likely president wilson will take tho stump to mako make speed speeches hes for his party after congress adjourns gifts or at any rate at a tine time just prior to the elections th tb fact that theodore roosevelt Is to car campaign has spurred the democratic leaders to urge the president to do likewise As far ca can be bo learned mr air wilson Is thinking seriously at present only of entering tho the pennsylvania campaign where his candidate A mitchell palmer Is running for senator against gifford Pl Pinc achot bot progressive and doles penrose republican publican Ite it Is it conceiver blo thing tant pennsylvania will be tho the scene of tho the appearance of a president of the united states and two ex presidents each in an to elect his candidate to the uni led ted states wilson ajl wul support palmer taft may support put PUL rose and roosevelt will support pin ahot whilo while tho the interest in the congressional campaign even at this early day Is mar carlt aed ed in washington there aro lm times hen it la Is overshadowed by tho the interest in the campaign which aich Is to como come two years hence everybody wants to know if it the A republicans are going to nominate theodore rosevelt and it if thero there Is any chance of tho republicans and the progressives getling getting together behind tills this one man as a candidate some solve of the politicians elzure it out that if it tho the republicans are to nominate roosevelt they mu must mut t hold their convention after the progressive gres sive convention bac har been held and must accept all tho the progressive planks president make them stick there are many men over in the capitol whose greatest concer today Is whether or not they will be able to eving en on to their jobs in co congress apparently they are not pleasantly disposed to a condition which compels them to stay here to discuss antitrust anti trust legislation and other things perhaps some of these wart an think there is no demand f om tho the country for this particular kind of legislation and perhaps they fel feal they will stand just as good a chanco chance of election if the excuse of a more convenient season Is found to put off the whole business the law makers are quite ready to quit now without another turn of the legislative heeb the president however saya saam keep on turning there are a lot of big anest questions ions waiting solution or that aro are lo 10 the midst of solution the president want wants them solved but tho the representatives and senators ena tors who bavo have been here a long at time seemingly are willing that the questions shall bo be answered next win tor ter mr bir wilton ie to unwilling in tho the face of the presidents deter mi min atlon that congress shall sit it until it its business and carries out tho the pl odRe of the baltimore platform mr wilson himself wante to got

while members of congress feel another way about it they will stay star bo however wever until tho the program of legislation for this session la Is corn com plated tho the baseball bare ball fan who ie in not cial life doubtless wonders if the play ing daya days of the washington baseball club otherwise the nationals and sometime sometimes the senatore senators do not play a part in determining bow how long con gress shall in ua it a A oava 9 thought that certainly night adjourn thie this year b july 1 I it I 1 tho the washington base baseball lall club had not been playing an important series here during tho the month of may alay virtually every after poun roun at ant least a hundred members or the house aro are in attend ance upon the game here la Is what some ono one else has eald said about the congressional situation as affected by baseball already once or twice this summer casual fleeting reference has appeared in the congressional record about the absence of members who prefer a ball game to law making mr mccumber of north dakota was complaining the other afternoon in tho the senate when he could not get attention for his grain inspection bill of tho the numbers of his colleagues who aio at oio a playing hookey hockey at the ball park the washington ball club left town or a long wei stern trip not to return until juno june 25 this fact in itself will hasten legislation for the members of congress will attend more strictly to their work because washington Is singularly barren of amuse amusements menth other than baseball during the summer to improve consular service senator stone of missouri at the instance of the state department has introduced a bill ull into con congress gresa which changes somewhat tho regul govern admi arion to the consular anti and diplomatic service of tho the government and of appoint ments and promotions thereto and therein it Is possible today for young americans of good education and character to enter the consular service at having back of them any great political influence it Is a good thing however tor for a young man who wished to enter the consular service to secure from IL rop or a senator a recommendation as to bis his character and fitness but it Is to understood that aa a things aro are today testimonials from other sources are nearly if it not quite equal ly serviceable however it a young than wants ants to ente enter tho service he should not arnst to outside advice but should crite to tho thu elate department to for information concerning the methods of appointment and the quail ficat ious necessary to secure a post tion the consular and diplomatic service of tho united states Is not under the civil service law but somo some years ago when ellhu hoot root was secretary secie tary of state a plan was ass adopted by which the tho of the merit system was made largely to prevail in the foreign service under secretary of state root the merit system was strength ened and now under secretary bryan the intention Is further to strength en an it provision of stones bill in the provisions of the bill which senator sono slone has introduced there Is a strong suggestion thet the merit
