Mass., aug. 14�?the political necessities that confront the Coolidge administration were brought to the front this week when the presence of representative William e. Hull of Illinois entered attention on complications in that state. Illinois presents a distinctive problem of its own but involving All of the major difficulties which president Coolidge is endeavouring to think out and remedy before the re assembling of Congress makes preliminary plans impossible. The third term candidacy the agricultural situation the importance of keeping Republican senators in line so that the administration s legislative program May not be wrecked the necessity of keeping vice president Dawes on an even keel Are All involved in the Illinois picture. Any desire which the president May have had to take his mind away from the political complications in Illinois have been effectually frustrated by the activities of the vice president. The evident aspirations of the vice president for the presidency and the rival ambitions of senator Deneen for the same Post have complicated the problem and have also suggested possible tools with which the president May work. Representative Hull presumably arrived in Swampscott for the sole purpose of talking with the president concerning presentation to him o the pan american Highway commission next september. This group plans to visit Central and South America. Mckinley in bad Way but or. Hull is in close touch with things political in Illinois and with the problem of that state pressing for solution As it does it is Safe to assume that the situation was carefully conned. State politics in Illinois present too Many intricacies for presentation in a Brief summary it will Lucice to Cal attention to the fact that United states senator William Mckinley is a candidate for re election and the administration will support him Mckinley had the misfortune of running athwart some of the various brands of Republican politics which thrive in his state during the last senatorial election governor Den Small characterized by his enemies As a machine politician was bitterly opposed to the late senator Medill Mccormick he fought Mccormick and supported Deneen i not because he loved Deneen but be cause he hated Mccormick. Senator i Deneen. Now possessing the most compact organization in Illinois did not tie himself up to the Small machine but accepted its support. Senator Mckinley supported senator Mccormick and thereby invoked the Wrath of both the Small and Deneen factions. After the election of senator Deneen. The Junior senator came to Washington and claims to have received a Promise there would be no distribution of patronage until he took his seat immediately thereafter there was a liquor investigation in the office of the United states marshal at Chicago resulting in a vacancy in that office. Inveen a slighted to the amazement of senator Deneen an appointment was made upon the recommendation of senator Mckinley. He protested vigorously but without Avail. Senator Deneen was at White court recently but when he went away it was hinted there had been no reconcile Littlon Between him and the president on this Issue. In the meantime senator Mckinley had opened his Campaign for re election. One of his recent actions up in As the donation of $50,000 to the from 1 methodist episcopal Church in his a late. He will be opposed by Frank l. Smith a Small appointee on the Public utilities commission and chairman of the Republican state Central committee. Take senator Mckinley and ice president dawe3, he is an extremely wealthy Man. Up to this time. Senator Deneen a remained Neutral but with indications he will later swing into line for Smith.
