Mrs. Lewis r. Morris. she promptly re-

her to see President Roosevelt She was
Delighted. So was the President. Her
bright black eyes shone with pleasure when

in his big, strong right hand. and afterward

Harmony in Delaware.
Senator Alice of Delaware was in I'M
usually good humor today. Two things had
combined to please him. One was that
Secretary Bonaparte had promised him that
he would name the big new battleship to
be authorized by Congress for Delaware,
II congress did not specifically direct 9TH
erwise, and the other was the indication
tnat the warning republican factions
or Delaware are about to get together
In a common primary election and a COM
mon state convention preceded and fol-
lowed by all sorts of love feast trimmings
III the prospects prove as bright as Sena-
tor Alice believes there will be all sorts
of harmony in republican ranks in that
state after the next few weeks. The regu-
lar republicans, of which Senator Alice has
been a leader, have accepted the PROPOSE
uon OF the union republicans as to the basis
upon winch both factions can go into a
common primary. This is the old appor-
uonment that was in existence ten years
ago In the matter of primaries and conven-
tions.
The regular republicans number of
years ago adopted an apportionment based
upon the new constitution, while the union
republicans adhered to the old apportion-
ment. The plan now agreed upon will cause
the Delaware republicans to start over
where they broke off ten years ago.
There have been several excursions OF
Maine people in Washington in the last few
days, and there have been large parties with
each. Maine members of the House have
been busy escOrtipg their constituents
around and introducing them at the White
House. Representative Littlefield had a
party in tow at the White House yesterday
and today Representative Burleigh and AL
len found pleasure in having a hundred or
so voters of their respective districts shake
the hand of the President
