It was recently reported that Lenlne had been urrnsied on orders irt,i Leon Trotzky. the Bolshevik foreii'ii minister, because he opposed TrnS zky's program for a continuation of the reign of terror.

Republican candidates for president apparently ure going to be as numerous as in 1008. according to gossip about the capitol Bince the return of leaders from the party conference in Chicago. A canvass of the (1. O. P. leaders reveals the fact that there are many who believe they have inherited the following that always was devoted to Colonel Roosevelt which will be a factor in the pre-conveniion campaign. Checking with the leaders, the one name so far mentioned most liet'uently is former president Wm. II. Tatl. Here is a summary of opinion as reflected in conversations at both ends of the capital as to t he present list of possibilities. Senator Harding of Ohio Termed right geographically and the second choice of Taft's supporters. Senator Horah of Idaho Held to be popular with the liberal elements, but not especially acceptable to the conservative wing of his parly. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts Termed strong wiih the conservatives but not popular with the progressives.Senator Johnson of alitornia Called acceptable to the tint retarded as out of radicals. sympathy with those now in control within the part?. Senator Knox of ivnna. t'cgaiu-j ed as popular, hut vulnerable because, of his corporation connections. j Senator Wadsworth of New York Termed strong in the east but less ' popular in suffrage states of the west Governor Loden of Illinois Whose friends have already annoum-, ed bis candidacy. Former Governor Whitman of New York Believed weakened by; his recent defeat. Gov. Kilge, of New jersey Retarded by many as a better be presidential candidate. Senator Wat'ou of Indiana It ' is , said bis claim to the Indiana dele-! gation Is beiiiK contested by tJovernnr Jjujes Goodrich, another pos-it.le candidate. Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts Chances hurt by his tleieat tor te- (lection according to several coin-mentors. ! .Military candidates are still being; widely discussed, but Republican leaders are not able to make up their minds whether the country wants an jenny man in the white houe. They are cpruiattne as lo wnetner me sot - 1ir wouia. in iaci. voie ior vn-n- . eral Pershing if ho were nominated.! also whether he would accept the rp attack was made against tbv nomination.

Wm: (!. McAdoo is most freijuenily mentioned in Democratic circles and it is generally believed that he left the cabinet to be in position to contend for the nomination. Taft's friends who are urging his candidacy admit that there is as yet no popular demand from tlt country thai he make the run, but I hey believe he stands better in the eyes of the lenders of his party .all over the nation than any other man whose name has been mentioned. It is by no means certain that Taff would make the run. His friends do riot claim "to lie able lo .spi ak for him. spartacides underarrest Over 1,000 Taken Face Punishment for Recent Street Fighting: in Berlin. Berlin, Jan. 14. -(Via '..ipenhn-gnn, Jan. 1",.) More than l.non Spartacides who look pari in the recent street lighting have been arrested by government troops. Quiet has been restored. Order is being established through out the provinces, following the lead of Berlin and Dusseldoi f. Tlu-re is still some trouble in Hamburg, but it is expected to end soon. The minister of war, in an address to the loyal troops, deflated that, if the Spartacides attempted to interfere for the national assembly clot-lions in this city on next Sunday, be hoped "the soldiers woultl know how to ileal with the disturbers." The city is being Hooded with political pamphlets. The cabinet is discussing const i lulional reforms which will be submitted to the national assembly when it convenes and the question id participation in the peace confer ence.
