request for Iunacy commissiCtl 10 eX-

The Thaw attorneys believed such

not find Thaw insane today. while an
examination Of this character would
settle the question once for all.
since Jerome has doubts as 10

A rumOr was started that Thaw
would himself go on the stand TO con-
vince Justice Fitzgerald in person that
he is fully able IL advise his counsel,
and that would make commission
unnecessary.
District Attorney Jerome had pre-
pared his statement of facts on which
he based his demand for the commits

as candidates before the convention
there Will be long discussions and many

advantage Of the situation and with an
eloquent speech carry the convention of
its feet and the old ticket Of Roosevelt
and Fairbanks Will be nominated.
But denomination does not mean cleo

Democrat and always expect TO be a
Democrat and vote the Democratic
ticket, ana hope that the Democratic
party Will nominate men this time who

LAYING CLAIM

East, West, North, and
South Country Search
es for LovelieSt Woman.
Denver Challenges the
World to Beat Colorado
in Race for Honor.

The people of each State in this
country now are determined TO dem
onstrate that their particular State
is the home of the most beautiful
woman in the United States. So
strong is this determination every
where that this land is in a perfect
furore of eagerness to discover
beauty.
Nothing like this search Or the
nations lOveliest woman has ever
happened before in the history of
the world. Newspapers, city and
State officials, business men, artists,
and the public generally have Joined
in the hunt. In all the cities the
cry is for photographs of pretty
women. In every county the people
are getting together the pictures of
every woman who has any claims to
good looks.
Extent of Beauty Hunt.
From the Atlantic TO the Pacific and
from the Lakes TO the Gulf. the pub
present state OF affairs is ample proof
Of the assertion that there is nothing
so lovely as a lovely woman, ard that
nothing so touches the human heart
and imagination as that rare thing
perfect beauty. The American public
has been characterized by foreigners
as too immersed in the pursuit Of the
dollars to care much for other phases
of life. but the search by everybody
now for beauty surpases and does away
with that characterization
In practically every newspaper In the
land there are found from day TO day
comments and boasts about the beauties
of a particular section. Communica-
tions from private individuals are print
ed suggesting ways and means to make
the beauty hunts more thorough and
more sure of ultimate victory.

The letters received by the Roosevelt
Editor yesterday afternoon and this
morning not only cover all the extremes
Of labor open to the President when his
term expires, but pick upon two new
careers. Several correspondents would
have him dig the Isthmian canal An
other would have him travel the world
