THE PRESIDENT
Interfering in Illinois Republican
 Matters

Washington Special to Chicago Record
 Herald.
 Presiden. Roosevelt is opposed to the nomination of Governor Richard Yates fer a second term. Of late the Frcsi- dent frequently has expressed his opin- ion of the situation in Illinois to some ot the Republican representatives from that State. He fears the nomination ci Governor Yates would be a bad thing for the Republican party, and frankly says so MT Roosevelt does not wish t7 interfere in Illinois politics. and does no iEtend to interfere beyond expressing nl, opinion to such of the Illinois RepubI:- can representatives as confer with him on the subject. He believes he has a light to go that far. as he certainly IS interested in Republican success Tn Ilil- nois next November. But he will not sG any further. He will not attempt to bring influence to bear to defeat Govern or Yates.
 The Presidents desire that the govern or be not renominated is not the res dit of any personal animus. He bears no i.l will to the governor. But he has heard enough to convince him that if Yates IS put at the head of the State ticket agaI. this year that move will make it all the more difficult to carry Illinois for the Republican national ticket.

A Hearst Boomer.

MT. Hearst's newspapers are making a great ado over the letter of the Hon. Thomas F. Watson of Georgia published Tn Tn The Atlanta News, in which that gen would support William Randolph Hearst MT. Watson is probably consistent; he has for many years been fighting Democra- cy, in fact until he retired to take up Iit- erary pursuits, in which latter he has been quite successful. MT. Watson was the middle-of- -the-road populist candidate for Vice-President in the first Bryan campaign, not having enough regard for the Democratic organization even to stand for fusion with it. He doubtIess . holds the same views as to Democ acv now that he did then, for he is and ai ways was very persistent as well as a very consistent citizen. It is not there fore surprising to note MT. Watson's present attitude

Since his visit to the South. where he was en- enthusiastically received he has listened with increasing complaisance to the sug- gestion that he should defend his leader ship by becoming a candidate once more. He has informed his friends within the last few days that he is anxious to have MT. Cleveland's name presented in the committee. -

 A new voting machine in New York has gone wrong because an atte'spt was made to trick it, and another election will have to be held. The machine was evidently not approached correctly. The constructor of the device should have been properly tipped before any attempt was made to seduce the machine.

MATCHMAKING IN THIsEr.
Sort of Marketing System Which
Supplies the Matrimonial
Problem

A prominent English woman
who has just returned from Thi-
bet says that the people of that
country have long solved the ques
ton which has been causing much
discussion in England for years,
says a London report.
In the Lama country, she says,
you hear no cry: "Why don't men
propose
Every girl is married and old
maids are unknown. The match
making place, or the "shambang."
as it is called. is a low hut, gen.
orally situated midway between
two villages where maidens and
young men in every class of life
cOngregate around small fires
which they kindle themselves.
If man is attracted by a Ger
tain girl he invites her and her
relatives to partake of the warmth
around his fire. This is taken as a
gentle hint that he is thinking of
proposing.
The parent very seldom if ever
visits the "shambangs." The girls
spin, assisted by the men. fell
stories and sing until they tire.
When man has made his choice
he dresses in his best and takes
wine and food to the parents of
the girl he has chosen.
If his suit is approved his food
is eaten and his wine is drunk and
the girl is his after he has paid n
small amount of money to her
father
