NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-Precedent and

paign eight months before the election.
The first meetings were held last week.
An active campaign has been planned for
the spring and summer by Tammany and
by Mr.. Lows managers.

organization has refused TO take part in
the reform meetings. but the support Of
Mr.. Lows candidacy by the Plat ma

ances from President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Odell that they favor his renomi-
nation. and Senator Plat has agreed
not to oppose it.
Mayor Low will have with him the

LODGE APPOIN TNENT
DISPLEASES OTTAWA
Deemed a lingo Opponent
of Canadian Claims.

OTTAWA, Feb. 16--In selecting it's
representatives in the Alaskan boundary
commission. the United States Govern
ment certainly has not considered the
feelings OF Canadians. In official cir
cles here the appointment OF Senator
Lodge is regarded as most offensive.
Justice Mills has been ruled out from
representing Canada because he wrote
two articles on the boundary and other
questions in the Empire Review" This
is considered a far-fetched excuse. but
sufficient.
General Indignation is consequently
felt that the United States Government
has not hesitated TO select man who
is regarded here as one of the most
profound jingoes in the republic to sit
as judge on this important question. es-
pecially in view of the fact that Sena-
tor Lodge expressed his views on the
boundary question, the most recent oc-
casiOn being a speech delivered in Mas
sachusetts on October II, in which he
declared himself an uncompromising op-
ponent of Canada's claims.

At State Dinners.

At the great state dinners, however, d
good deal OF food, especially in the way
OF desserts. is bought from the caterers.
and the bill Is never a moderate one.
The President also pays a large number
OF extra walters and kitchen helpers. It
is probable that a state dinner where
seventy or eighty guests are entertained
costs the President from $500 TO $500.
A good deal has been said recently
about flowers at the White House. The
old conservatory that stood on the site
OF the present Office building did not
provide nearly all the flowers that were
necessary for the White House enter
tainments. The great bulk or flowers
were brought from the propegating gar
dens in the Agricultural Department
grounds. and this is the case at pres
ent. Very few flowers are bought at the
florists. and the President has paid for
these. unless, in one or two instances.
when the matter was taken out OF his
hands. and the flowers were bought at
Government expense without his knowl-
edge.

would not have been made had the mar

gress, said that IL would be necessary
for the Government TO provide two
more helpers in the laundry at an eN-
pense OF $50 a month each. Yet the
statement has been made repeatedly at
the White House. whenever inquiry has
been made. that the laundry helpers. as

tertained at dinner at different times in
the course or one winter. the whole Con-
gress, comprising more than 100 men
besides many other guests invited with
them.
But President Roosevelt has been al
most rs lavish in his entertainment OF
Senators and members OF the House. and
he has entertained other guests in
much larger number than any other
President.
The entertainments given bv the
Roosevelts have beer in many cases OF
an exceptionally expensive kind. Among
the most elaborate were the musicaIes
given frequently last winter that have
been resumed this season. The musicians
were paid by the President. and refresh
ments for several hundred guests were
provided by him.
Mrs Roosevelt has given also a large
number Of Afternoon teas and receptions.
Mr.. Roosevelt attracted the attention
OF the public Immediately after his sud-
den induction into Office by inviting dis
tinguished men from all parts of the
country to sit at his board. The object
of this was not entirely social. for il was
semi-nfhcialiy avowed that the new Pres
ident wished TO obtain the views OF lead

questions and politics.
