REPUBLICANS WILL LET
DEMOCRATS take LEAD

WASHINGTON. April 24-Owing
to the remarkable situation which
has developed, the friends of Presi-
dent Roosevelt are planning to
break precedent of 40 years by
postponing the republican national
convention until the other party
has named its candidate and framed
its platform.
The need for this course has been
shown by the discovery of the plans
of the "reactionaries, who are
seeking to control the nominations
Of both parties.
The machinery of the democratic
party is still controlled by the Bel
monts, Parkers and Hills of New
York. In Illinois they have John
p. Hopkins and Roger Sullivan of
the Chicago gas trust, and that
state is typical. They hope to du-
plicate their defeat of 1904 by nomi-
mating another candidate like Par
ker and making the name Demo

In every line of commerce and

gracefully preside over meat mar

The women of Norway marry the
living and bury the dead. Legal
disputes are settled by feminine

wounded are administered to by a
woman doctor. The countryside is
photographed by another woman.
For % years the checks at the bank
have been cashed by a small. white

has swayed the morals, opinions
and politics of the town through
the columns of her paper.
A director in the street railway
and the corporation that lights the
village is a woman, and she attends
each and every meeting of the di-
rectorate and gets her pay for at

that old Uncle Russell Sage did.
