Chairman Babcock of the republican con- gressional cothmittte returned today from a trip to New England, where he was in conference with politicians and business men. Mr. eck ysaid to a Star reporter this afternoon that he found business and political conditions in New England ex- ceedingiy favorable from a republican standpoint. While the campaign has not opened fully, it is apparent even‘ at this early stage of the proceedings that the prospects are unusually bright for a repud- lican victory in New England this fall. “Business is good throughout the east,” said Mr. Babcock, “and the people are not slow to credit the good times to the benet- Ieent effects of republican administration and republican legislation. The Dingiey bill is producing splendid results for the work- ing people. Factories are running on full time, the men are receiving good wages and there is no complaint. | “Three or four years more of undisturbed political conditions will place the people ipon the level of prosperity and good times which they enjoyed before the demo- cratic administration and the destructive effects of the Wilson tariff law pulled them down. “I asked one of the most prominent busi- men of Boston what would be the upon business conditions if a free silver House of Representatives should be elected this fall.
