WOmen'S Tailored Suits.

Another event in low pricing this. Just at the
threshold OF the Spring season such pricing is a notable
occurrence.
Two points to note in the same connection. Every
garment IS a new style, the choicest possible to expert
selection from everything goot. Every garment is as
well made and tailored as human hands can do it. To
re sure, these two requisites are of course in this store,
yet perhaps they should be mentioned.
We cite one instance Of several kinds, Just samples

CHANGE OF DEMEANOR.

1t will be interesting to note whatever
changes may pc discovered in the de-
meanor of the president. Governor
Roosevelt's visit to Canton was at the
invitation of Mr.. Mckinley, who, it is
reported, wished to obtain from the
fiery untamed Rough Rider some ad-
vice concerning the conduct of the cam
paign. Those who know the governor
and his methods can easily guess the
suggestions the tail of the ticket made
to the head. If Mckinley accepts them
the campaign is likely to prove both
picturesque and interesting.
1t would be in accordance with Mr..
Roosevelts methods if the good people
of Canton should be astonished by see
ing their staid fellow-townsman Will
liam Mckinley, suddenly change his
respectable clothes for garments of
much rougher description, and go
charging about the town in a manner
to impress all beholders with the idea
that II he is not a hero of hundred
fights he is at least a very important
citizen. At frequent intervals he might
be expected to have his picture taken.
| always in a new attitude and with
new suit of clothes. To relieve the mo-
notony of existence an alteration with
some other citizen of reputed bullying
| tendencies would serve to draw atten-
| ton to himself and make excellent
| reading matter if properly arranged by
specially engaged corps of press
agents.
The delivery of speeches upon all pos
sible occasions would be in keeping,
| and when nothing better presented it.
self the president could utilize any
spare time he might have writing arti-
| cles for the magazines and other pub
lications about his own exploits and
those of men associated with him.
All this would serve to enliven the
campaign and prevent the public from
thinking of any one else. 1t would all
be in strict keeping with the governors
idea of campaigning and would reveal
Mr.. Mckinley In a more interesting
light than has yet been discovered
| about him.
There is only one reason that would
make this program inadvisable, accord
ing to the Roosevelt scheme of politics.
1t might possibly serve to divert atten-
tion from Roosevelt himself.

M'KINLEY'S FIRST VOTE.
Senator Scott Says That 1t Was
Cast During the War
Times.

Philadelphia Times: President Nc
Kinley and Senator Scott. of West Vir-
ginia, both Ohio boys. were in the same
regiment of the army in the civil war.
They cast their first votes for Lincoln
in 1864. II shall never forget that first
vote" said Senator Scott, to friends
around him at the Walton. Some of
the ballots were cast in soap boxes, some
into candle boxes or any old receptacle.
There was no Australian ballot law
there. / remember a conversation
had at that time with Mckinley. He
spoke of his study Of the law, and spec
ulated in regard to his future. 1t was
special wonder with him whether he
could reach a position which could
bring him influence enough to elect
him probate judge in his native couh-
ty"
