and has kept alive the spirit Of re-
publican liberty and independence
pending the period of their coming
regeneration. That regeneration can
apparently come only through Ameri-

to this immigration the Monroe doc
trine opposes no obstacle except such
as results from the insecurity OF life
and property under the feeble and un-
stable governments which prevail there.

Will Be A SHORT CAMPAI0N.

Leaders Of both political parties are
facing mountain of trouble because
of the new redistrlcting ordinance. AS
Il result of hurried conferences It Is
probable that the primary elections and
city conventions of both parties will be
held under the old ward divisions.
Should IL be found that the new ward
lines must he followed. the spring
campaign will be the shortest ever
known in municipal politics. The Re.
publican leaders have planned to hold
their primaries on Feb. Is. and the
Democrats expect to fix n date later in
that month. 1t was found Wednesday
afternoon. however, that unless the
new ward lines can be disregnr,led the
primary elections cannot be held til
March 10 or even later.
The trouble arises over the fact that
the Board of Election Commissioners
has found that It will be unable tc
transfer the names of voters and rea
arrange the polling lists according t,
the new division of wards befor,
March 3 or 10. Should the primarie.
be delayed until March 10 nomination,
could be made and the city ticket,
placed In the field just i'm time to com
ply with the law that nomination pn
pers must be Jed fifteen days befor,
election. There would he opportunit,
for but fifteen-days' campaign In
stead of six weeks.

Committee will decide the matter.

wards are now ready" said Daniel Il

and was settled In this manner"
The Democratic leaders will take n
action until the Republicans dctcrmin
