which justify the executive committee to
issue the following statement OF facts: l.
After carefully considering the bids for
hotel headquarters from the Grand and
the Denison, your committee accepted the
offer of the Grand and designated that no.
tel as headquarters for the annual meet
Ing Under this contract the Grand agrees
to make a generous donation to the associ-
alton for defraying necessary expenses, and
the association, with all its sections, is, in
turn, morally bound by this action OF the
committee. 2: We are informed by the
chairman OF the executive committee OF the
county superintendent section that no one
has been authorized to announce the Dem

Two or three members of the executive
committee of the high-school section were
not consulted in regard to establishing SUBJ
headquarters for their section, and do not
indorse the action of the chairman of the
committee.
The honor and success Of the associa-
ton being at stake in this matter, we deem
it necessary and proper that you, as
members Of the association. should know
the above facts. Respectfully,

MUNICIPAL REPUBLICANIsM.
Recent Elections show SURPRISING
Gains in a Number of Cities.

Commercial Advertiser.
The city elections that have occurred dur
ing the past two months have shown the
heard of three young barristers when / was
messed in the State elections of Nov. z
With ha.>ly exception these municipal
contests show large Republican gains,
old Democratic strongholds and put Re
publicans in power for the first time in
many years
The following is table of the vote cast
in five important cities in the recent mu-
nicipal elections and that cast in the pre-
vious municipal elections, with the excep-
ton of Providence. The first vote given for
that city was cast in 1921, the vote for 1892
not being at hand. The Democrats carried
the election again in 1892, however, by
about the same vote Boston, Providence
and New Haven hold annual municipal
elections while in Indianapolis and Brook
lyn they occur every two years. The COM
pilation will be found interesting:

The Increase in the Republican vote In a all
fofn and large In addition to these cities
mentioned in the table, Milwaukee chose
Republican Mayor recently by 32ss major
S,201 in the previous election. Detroit also
gave a phenomenal Republican majority
Nov Z, electlng a ItepuDncan mayor anu an
entire city ticket although the city is nor
mally Democratic. On the same date Chi
cago elected a Republican judge by nearly
12,G0 plurality, although the city chose a
Democratic Mayor last spring. The vote
in many smaller towns and cities could
also be instanced proof Of remarkable
Republican gains, but only important cities
are mentioned.
The only conclusion that can be drawn
from these uniform Republican gains In
municipal elections, nearly all of which
were contested on issues separate from ma
tional questions, is that the Democratic
party is as thoroughly distrusted in local
affairs as in national affairs Wherever it
has been tried it has beer. found wanting.
The emphatic verdict against it in the
cities is more significant than the verdict
By States, for ii is in the cities that the
Democracy has always been strongest and
best able to poll it's vote. But the i'm
portant cities wrested from its control and
thesothers in which it's majority was great
~ reduced are proofs that even its strong
holds are slipping away from the grasp Of
the Democratic party.

types made of this latter matter and the
plates have been distributed among all
the local printers, so that any business
house may have them printed upon their
envelopes. Over 100000 of these en-
yelopes have already been printed and
they are being sent out daily in all di-
rections throughout the country, and it
is estimated that the number will reach
a million in round figures.
The committee has distributed among
the delegates to the press club conven-

Not to Be Forgotten or Overlooked
by the Committee.
The pine land investigation that was
so auspiciously inaugurated at the re-
cent session of the legislature, and
which was authorized to be conducted
to finale, will not be permitted to drop
where it now is. Senator Leavitt called
at the capitol yesterday to look over
certain other matters. and while there
he took occasion to go Oh record as de-
termined to prosecute the work so well
begun to the very end. He has no
doubt that many hundreds of thousands
of dollars will be saved to the state by
the labors of the committee. Enough
has already been accomplished to assure
the public of the truthfulness of this
statement, and, considering the person

Everybody.

Sousa's band drew two audiences to

the characteristic programmes of this
composer and director were given, and,
though they can scarcely be said to be
grand selections, the programme GER
tainly catches the popular ear.
John Philip Sousa is closely connected
with the better band element of the
country, and he is the leading spirit of
the present organization. His band is a
