“INTHE LIMELIGHT.”

[By Elbotbio Teleghaph—Copyright] Times and Sydney Sun Services. New York, May 27.

Ex-President Roosevelt is visiting ■Washington, and is now the central figure on the political stage. Ho called on President Wilson and held a series of conferences. It is presumed that the,discussions concerned the next presidential campaign. The Democrats are anxious, realising that the administration is not so strong politically as it was. They think the country will continue to demand a progressive Government, and if Mr Wilson fails will turn to Mr Roosevelt.
