were three important things to come
before congress this session among
them being that of statehood for the
territories. On statehood he said:

Good luck to you, Alice
You are Alice in wonderland no

Under all the girlish fun and frolic,
and the healthy. hearty, devilmay-

which the aforesaid witnesses shook
headaches into their empty pates,

love Of a splendid young fellow, who
has millions enough to allow you to
play bridge whist as often and as high
as you please, and still be able to set
tie mp after every game-a custom by
the way, which Is said not to be very
general at your new home in Chicago.
A nation has many reasons to re-
ioice with you in your hour of great

The announcement for instance will
have the immediate effect Of causing
your good father to give himself at
least a temporary vacation from his
fayorite race suicide talks, out of
respect for the feelings you young

OVERTHROW
OF ODELL
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is NOW
BOSS" IN NEW YORK.
Republican Politicians Ask IL He Will
Next Seize National Organization.
Belief Exists That He Wants
Root as His Successor.

Washington, Dec 24-ls President
Roosevelt reaching out to seize the
National organization of the Republ-
can party, and If so. will he insist on
nominating the Republican candidate
for president in 1908? These questions
are being asked by every Republican
politician in the country since the
action Of the president in overthrow
ing Benjamin b. Odell, the boss" OF
New York State.
That the president, through Cover
nor Higgins and a coterie of former
Platt and former Odell followers. Is
now easily the boss" of the party
in the Empire state is admitted on al
sides.
What is his object, if he has an
object, beyond getting the organiza-
tion out OF the control of the spec
ulative statesmen who have been mix
ing business with politics? Is It to
make Elihu Root, his warm personal
friend and counselor. the choice of
New York for the Republican nomi-
nation. Or is It for the purpose of
holding the New York delegates from
any candidate until the president has
decided for whom the administration
will throw its influence?
These are very interesting ques-
tions and they are all the more timely
because of the steady growth fthe
executive influence. In something like
half a dozen states which will give
Mr.. Roosevelt control at the outset
OF at least a quarter of the next con
vention. The administration is aim.
ing to be supreme in the councils
of the party in the state of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland. to
say nothing of Delaware and the
South.
