It's so. excit- ing? Do you think Taft will be elected? Mr. (a herrible suspicion enter- ing his mind)—Well, you know, dear, of course you know, that they are not electing a president this year ‘That’s two years from now. Mrs. (hastily)—Why, certainly. How stupid of me! I sometimes get the. different elections mixed up. This year they elect a—a—the—— Mr. (patiently)—Well? Mrs. (getting mad)—Henry, you’re making fun of me. Just be- cause you- know all about politics you think everybody else should, too. How in the world can a body keep track of what these dreadful politicians are doing? It's so con- fusing — all these articles about scandals and bribery. I should think they’d behave, on account of their families if for no other reason. And then all this endless talk about Ballinger—I get so sick of seeing his name in the paper! I do hope he’ll be defeated. Mr.—He’s not: running for any- thing, dear. Mrs. (in confusion)—Why, I thought—well, anyway, he. must be a dreadful person according: to the cartoons. I only know what I see in the papers. Mr.—Ballinger is the secretary of the interior.

Mr.(with resignation)—Well,then, dear, there’s no use of explaining any further. Mrs.—Yes, and I know all about the insurgents—I hate the word ‘gents’—and the standpotters, or is it the standpatters? How absurd! I was getting the standpatters and the jackpotters mixed up. And (sailing gaily on) I know all about Cannonism—he’s the one ' who, is always smoking a big cigar—and Taft, the president, and Roosevelt. Mrs. Scadsworth was telling ‘me yesterday that her husband is very much disappointed ~in Roosevelt. It seems that Roosevelt did some- thing he didn’t approve of. And, O, I wonder whether Kermit is really engaged to that Miss Ruther- ford. I read this morning— Mr.—Hold on, let’s not get side- tracked on Kermit. This is a political discussion. Now, is there aiything that you don’t exactly unde. stand? Mrs. (hesitatingly) —Why, Henry, I can’t think of of anything just now. (Goes through motions, of deep thought.)

ROOSEVELT IS GIVEN PLACE Named for Chairman of New York Convention. OLD -GUARD IS ROUTED Voting on Disputed Position Follows One of the Most Remarkable Scenes Ever Witnessed In a Political Gath- ering—Ex-President Denounced to His Face by Men Who Were His Former Supporters. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 28.—Colonel Roosevelt was chosen temporary chairman of the state Republican con- vention over Vice President Sherman, the choice of the state committee, more than an hour being consumed in polling the 1,015 delegates. From the outset of the tedious vote it was ap- parent that Vice President Sherman had no chance to win and his defeat was conceded by William Barnes be- fore half the delegates had been polled. The vote was Roosevelt 567, Sherman 445. A most remarkable scene preceded the balloting. For hours bitter de- nunciation was heard from the plat- form and for the first time in his life Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. was de- nounced to his face by the men who successiyely elected him member. of assembly, governor, vice president and president. Timothy L. Woodruff, the man Roosevelt made chairman of the state committee by the sheer weight of fed- eral patronage, read a letter from Roosevelt, which he claimed showed that. Roosevelt had tacitly endorsed the selection of Vice President: Sher- .| man as temporary. chairman. Abe Gruber, facing Roosevelt, poured forth a stream. of denuncia- tion, the like of which has seldom been heard. before even in ‘a ward convention, and Roosevelt himself had. personally to appeal to the con- vention to let the New York attorney be heard and give him a “square deal.” Roosevelt was warmly defended by Comptroller Prendergast of New. York, who repudiated the suggestion that Roosevelt is playing for the presiden- tial nomination in 1912. Oratory Holds the Floor. The first twa hours of the-conven- tion were taken up with oratorical pyrotechnics. It seemeéd apparent from the start that the *“old guard” knew it was beaten and there was no note of hope in the address of Chair- man Woodruff, defending the state central committee’s choice of Vice President Sherman for the temporary chairmanship; or in Colonel Gruber’s vitriolic speech in which he assailed Colonel Roosevelt’s record, even .going S0 far as to style him “The American Jack Cade.” Chairman Woodruff called the con- vention to order at 12:05 and after the aisles had been cleared, which the one policeman ‘available for the task found difficult in doing, the convention took up the regular order of business. ‘When the roll call had been com- pleted Chairman Woodruff announced: “The next order of business is the - the | w election of a temporary chairman.” - There was an instant hush, then a ripple .of uncertain . applause, after W d ‘‘What’s the name of that young fellow who beat Jim Tawney?”’ When an incident like the follow- ing occurs right {here at home, it is bound to carry weight with our read- ers. Somany strange occurences go the round of the pres.: are publish ed as facts, people become skeptical. On one subject skepticism is rapidly disappearing. This is due to the actual experience of the citizens, and their public utterances regarding them. The doubter must doubt no more in the face of such evidence as this. The rpublic statement of a re- putable citizen living right at home, one whom you can- see every day, leaves no ground -for the skeptic to stand on. Mrs. J. E.
