beside men possessing proper moral and
educational qualifications women be
nominated and elected as school direc.

test and while Senator Hanna's man
ayers were apparently more cheerful
the cause if ii was not apparent. They
have bad quite n different policy in
thir canvass from that followed at the
beginning of the contest. They are
now following the tactics of Mr.. Kurt
leader of the opposition. whose strong
suit has been to conceal everything
possible from the Hanna people.
Whatever important developments
there may be are kept under cover and
as a result the opposition has been
forced to partially change it's plans.
The efforts Of the steering committee
to Whip the Democratic members of the
Legislature into line to vote for a Re
publican senator have not been 50
successful as they expected. As Il
result it is stated authoritatively. to-
night. that there will be n caucus of
the Democratic members, next Monday
night. The purpose of the caucus is -
locate the doubtful members and
pledge those who are willing to carry
out the proposed fusion. 50 that enough
