Sub-Committee to Arrange Details. The resolution adopted by its own terms expresses the party’s faith in primary election of delegates and in the right of a state to choese them at large, bul details of the method of reducing southern representation were left to a speclal sub-committee com- posed of Chairman Hilles, and Com- mitteeman Warren of Mlchlgan Borah, Idaho: Soot, Utah; Hadley (Louls- fana, proxy): Howell, Nebraska; HEs- terbrook, New Hampshh‘e, Barnes, New York; Saunders, Tennessee and Remmell, Arkansas, The sub-commit- tee expects to make a report at a meeting of the full committee tomor- row. It was predicted tonight that it would favor a compromise between the plan advocated by the republican con- gresslonal committee and by Chairman Hilles and other leaders.- This plan would provide 'for four delegates at large from each state, one from each congressional district and additional delegates from each congressional dis- trict where the republican vote bears a certain ratio to the total vote. ‘With the adoption of the report of this sub-committee the national com- mittee will adjourn probably until 1916, Borah Opposes Special Convevntion. In bringing in a plan for reduced rep- resentation, the sub-committee will suggest how the plan shall be ratified by the republican “voters in all states. The much talked-of réeferendum requir- ing that the plan must be approved by the republicans in states which cast two-thirds of the total party vote in 1908 was still in favor at tonight's meeting. Debate during the day practically was limited to a discussion of the need of a special national convention, -Senator Borah loomed out as the dominant fig- ure among the committeemen who op- posed a special comvention, while for- mer Governor Hadley of Missouri and William Barnes, Jr., of New York led the forces allied in its support. If there was an Inclination toward bitterness at time and if pictures were drawn of why things happened to the party in 1912, they were not dwelt upon at length, and it was plain from the be- ginning of the meeting that the com- mitteemen realized that the pressing question up for their decision was not mnnurt. itself, “I would not.be candid with myself,” said the senator, “if I did not express my judgment in the situation that con- fronts us. The great contest which will determine whether the republican par- is to resume supremacy or pass 1n$0 tory will be settled in 1916. All otheér skirmishes, no matter how muchli they may be emphasized, will be prelimin- ary. We can afford to be cautious and patient in preparing for that great con- fiict. If I did not believe that the re- publican party was progressive and that 95 per cent. of the members of the party have a heart interest in the great problems confronting the nation I would not remain a member of the par- ty. But my obseryations and investi- gations convince me that the rank and file of this party organization are just as much alive to the probblems. of this hour as were the men in the forefront of the party from 1856 to 1884. The Advantage of Waiting. “If the republican party adopts a re- actionary platform in 1916 it will be- come nothing but the voice of the aris- tocrapy. I believe .t is progressive and I want to gather up that progressive sentiment and crystallize in 1916. If call a convention in 1914 what po- sition will we be in? There, are states with primary laws not adapted for a na- tional convention except for the selec- tipn of a national ticket. Such a con- vention would inevitably result in thei selection of hand-picked delegates in two-thirds of the states, and any plat- form promulgated would not he a true expression of the rank and file of the people and would not be one upon Which the party would be able to o to the -country in the next congressional election. T.et us therefore, here and now, displaying somewhat the qualities of real leadership, adopt a basig of rep- resentation and say to the people that they shall in the future select their del- egates to the national conventions. By | 1916 every state will have adopted a whereas there is no gen- \ Borah’s Reference to Barnes. The senator further asserted that a convention in 1914 would merely re- sult in “fulmination in the air,” end that the progressive element in the party would not join in it. Turning toward Mr. Barnes of New York, with whom he had a brush at the Hilles dinner last night, Senator Borah con- tinued. “There is no more astute political leader in the country, representing the views he does, than Mr. Barnes of New York, and unless some change is made, he will surely be as potent. in the con- vention of 1916 as he was in 1912.” “Are you afraid to make an issue of that?” interrupted Mr. Hadley. “I don’t want to do it with my hands tied and my feet hobbled,” Senator Bo- rah replied. “If I can be permitted to go into the fields and the by-ways and tell men that they can go to a conven- tion of their party and assure them they can be seated after they get there, 1 will take a chance on a fight with the friends of the old system of doing things. Party Must Be Progressive. “This may and may not be a parting of the ways, but I would not be candid if T did not say that the republican party must be progressive, that it must adopt a progressive platform and nom- inate a progressive candidate for pres- ident in 1916.” . Senator Jones made a concilatory speech and annoynced that while he fayored a special convention, the main idea was to get together. “We cannot afford,” said the senator, “to walit for somthing .to turn up as a consequence of democratic legislation. “I believe that we must show that we are a pro- gressive and militant party. The re- sult in 1918 is not less important than that we have a republican house and senate in 1914, that we may be able to block further legislation which will work further injury to the country.” HINTS FOR HOME-MADE FANCY WORK Leather Bag for Overshoes.

Also, stiich on silk flaps at either side to guard pins from falling out. Now turn the leather over the lining and stitch around. Either a flap with snap fastener or button may be added or a fastening string, the latter being the more adjustible Put on initials or monogram with any embroidery stitch liked. 8hoe Case.

The tape should be just wide enough to take the stitching well on both sides. Sew the edges together by hand to form the bag as shown in the diagram. Fasten the flap with two catches such as are used on spool cases. The handle should be stitched to the sides before those pieces are lined. It may be necessary to make the handle of a oduble thickness of leather. To those who have not worked with leath- er this may seem a difficult thing to make, but it is really quite simple, Parasol Case.

I*w: the houseworker who does mare e temnufiw ] lmon is shown in fi & 1 i never has had a clothespin bag of thim character does not know how conveni- | ently her clothes may be hung out. It is a real time saver and far more con / venient than any bag that has to be attached to the wrist or. to the side. to make it, one will need two pieces of stout cloth about fifteen inches square and enough more to make a belt. Bed ticking is a good material to use; drill- ing and denlm are also 'serviceable. Cut the two pieces in the same shape, having a curved outline cut out on the belt for the belt curve. Cotton bind« ing tape suéh as can be bought for five cents a roll may be used for binding the edges. First cut out the two sides from one of the pleces which look like pockets and bind these. Then put the pleces together and bind all around with another piece of tape. Add the belt and your apron is complete. A woman having long arms needs to add ; an inch or two to this apron as it will be slightly more convenient for her to take out the clothespins; if she has short arms, make the apron slightly shorter than fifteen inches. Cord Box With Scissors, A ball of string or twine that is for+ ever getting unrolled and having to be wound over is almost as much bother as it is to look for twine when needed and be unable to find a plece.
