Lady Aberdeen, whose husband was then the Governor General of Canada, became the first president. and her prestige, combined with industry, charm and tact. have dope much to make the In- ternational Council as great as 1t Is today.

 The questions affecting women in their relations towards their individual Government are obviously not the di- rect business of the International Coun- ell. It receives reports and gives en- couragement and support to each of the national organizations in its spe- cial plans, but concerns itself official ly only with such broad things as are universal in their appeal to women.
 The convention fin this city consid- cred principally the white slave traffic, the great movement for universal peace among nations, the best method of fighting the dread disease of tubercu- losis, how working women can be pro- tected. and how others. in Illness and old age, can be cared for.
 Such questions as these are vital to the women of Europe. to the gentle. backward women of the Far East. and to the practical, strenuous women of the United States. Australia and New Zealand, where women have already entered fully into their own.

COUNCIL OF WOMEN.
Countess of Aberdeen Presiaes Over
 Great Meeting.


 Great Meeting.
 Geneva. Sept 5.--The International Council of Women. the great organiza- ton of the women of all nations. as- sembIed here this week.
 The Countess of Aberdeen. the Pres ident, presided, and welcomed delegates from the United States. Canada. Ger many, Sweden, Great Britain and Ire- land, Denmark. New South Wales, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Tasmania. Switzerland. Italy, France. the Argen- tine Republic Victoria, South Austra- lia Austria, Norway. Hungary, Belgium and Queensland.
 They represented nearly 7.000.000 wo- men belonging to literary clubs. char ity organizations. and societies for fur therfng the interests of the sex. The International Council of Women is con- servative, conventional, even fashion, able. Every Empress and Queen in Europe has pledged 1t support and re- ceived 1t socially. and 1t has. for these reasons, drawn into it's fold thousands who are advancing towards the real ization of their dreams The privi- leges of education. of holding property. of possessing equal rights with the father over the child. of becoming Oriental civilization are ideas of magic portent to ali women.
 Two new countries were admitted in- to the International Council, Greece, still mediaeval in its laws affecting women, and Bulgaria. rough and turbu- lent and almost Turkish in its domestic conditions.
 The Russian women, in many re- spects the most daring. accomplished and advanced in the world, were rep resented, but unofficially, according to Government mandate. Japan and In- dia sent ardent greetings to their sis- ters Of the West.

 Barn burners and huukers came down to Baltimore. each swearing death against the other. Behind the barn burners was tho awful shadow of Martin Van Buren. who had been the head of the greatest Democratic political machine the party had pos sessed. The patty had defeated him for re-nomination four years previ- ously by the imposition of the two thirds rule. and by permitting dele- gates to disregard instructions. His friend. Silas Wright. had declined the Vice Presidential nomination in 1s44. but had saved the day by running for Governor of New York ana lining Up the Van Buren strength for the Polk ticket. Two years later, In JSs4, Wright had been defeated for TO -ciec- tion as Governor. and the blame was laid on the hunkers. Van Buren and his friends wanted revenge.
 The Baltimore convention was un- able to decide between these bitter factions. and therefore voted to seat both delegations. giving half-vote to each. Both sides declined to accept the compromise and refused to vote in the convention. When Lewis Cass had been nominated for President and Will liam O. Butler for Vice President. young Dan Sicxles jumped to his feet to promise the vote of New York for the nominees, making an impassioned speech which brought the attention of the whole country to him.
 But the barn burners went home sore. It was not long until the free soil movement was under way. Mar tin Van Buren became its candidate for President and Charles Francis Adams was nominated for Vice Presi- dent. The abolition party was swal- lowed up in 1t. It was the first con- siderable movement toward the wreck ing of the old non-sectional parties and hastening the inevitable Civil War. And when the votes were counted. General Taylor was elected and Martin Van Buren had his revenge.
 General Taylor was nominated at the Whig National Convention in Phil- adelphia. Governor Morehead of North Carolina was president of the conven- tion and it became his duty to inform the candidates that they had been nom- mated. It was before the days of conn pulsory prepayment of postage and Governor Morehead sent the letter to General Taylor's address in Louisiana. postage collect.

W---Tne Taylor cass- Van Bwen Race of Is4s

By Fredric J. Haskin.

Once more the whigs put their faith in a war hero and. for the second and last time. they were victorious. Zach sry Taylor was nominated because he was the popular hero of the war with Mexico. It mattered not that he had never cast vote In his life and had never taken any interests in politics. It mattered not that the war in which he won glory and renown was con- demned by the Whigs as crime against civilization. It mattered not that he was a Southern slave owner when Northern whigs were beginning to battle every day against the ex- tension of slavery. It mattered not that Henry Clay. the greatest of the whigs, again wanted the nomination from his party. Nothing mattered ex- cept that the Whfgs wanted to win, that they had won in 1S40 with a war hero and an alliterative slogan. and that they could do it again. Thus to General Harrison and 'ATlppecanoe and Tyler. too.' was added General Taylor and "Old Rough and Ready" These were the only men the Whig party ever put in the White House, and 1t is remarkable that they are the only two Presidents who have died in of flee of natural causes.
 But even the hearty attractiveness of General Taylor. the freshness Of his war-won iaurels. the magic of the memory of Buena Vista, none of these things would have availed to defeat the Democrats had 1t not been for the factional party fight in New York State, which ultimately resulted in the formation of the Free Soil Democratic party and the candidacy of Martin Van Buren for President. Van Buren did not carry a single State, but he got 3 sufficient number of votes to take more than one State away from the Democratic candidate and give it's elec- toral vote to General Taylor.
 The Democratic national convention met that year in Baltimore on May 22. That Is over sixty years ago, but q man still lives who was one of the prominent figures in that body. The nomination for President was race between Lewis Cass. of Michigan and James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. Cass was nominated on the fourth ballot without difficulty. But the great fight in the convention was not over the nominations: 1t was upon the status of the two contesting delegations from New York.
 There they were, Samuel J. Tilden, later the leader of the National Dem ocracy as spokesman and advocate Tor the barn burners, and Daniel E.

enormous increase in the vote this

LEWISTOWN GETS THE CONVENTION

E. G. Worden and M. I. Burke,
local delegates to the grand lodge
knights of Pythias, which was held
in Great Falls last week, returned the
latter part of the week and brought
with them good news in the shape
of an annouc ement that the next state
convention will be held in this city.
In their efforts to land the convention
for Lewistown, the Lewistown dele
gates were effectively assisted by
Messrs. Stafford and Stephens of the

They showed that Lewistown will be

of the state by railroads next year,
that hotel accommodations will be
ample and that the work accomplish
ed in this part of the state by the
local lodge had fairly won the honor.
Mr.. Worden, in his address in be-

ter with some powerful arguments
and after he had concluded, the other

LONG ADDRESSES VOTERS
Democratic Candidate for Congress Speaks to
Enthusiastic Audience in This City.--NorriS
Also ArOuSeS Great Interest.

Hon. Thomas d. Long of Kalispell,
democratic candidate for congress,
last night delivered powerful ad-
dress before most enthusiastic
audience in Harmony Hall. Every
seat in the hall was occupied and Il
number were compelled to stand
throughout Mr.. Longs address.
This was Mr.. Longs first appear
ance in Fergus county and he more
than came up to the high expecta-
tions of his democratic friends. He
is graceful, polished, effective
speaker and the manner in which he
handles the great issues of the cam
paign shows his thorough familiarity
with the questions which are now
before the people. q
Mr.. Long took President Roosevelt
to task for the presidents interference
in the present campaign. He showed
that Mr.. Roosevelt is breaking all
precedents in forgetting the dignity
Of his high office and using his posi-
ton and enormous patronage power
to secure the election of the man
whom he wishes to succeed him. The
speaker showed that it was the demo-
Gratis in congress who stood by the
president in his fight last winter and
spring for the reforms which he
advocated and recalled the invitation
Of John Sharpe Williams to just thirty
republicans who, if they would join
hands with the democrats, could pass
every measure Of legislation advocat-
ed by the executive.
Mr. Long explained the guarantee
Of bank deposits in such manner as
to convince the most prejudiced that
Mr.. Bryan's financial scheme would
do away with many of the ills of the
present system.
The speaker cloquently described
the attitude Of the democratic party
toward labor and contrasted the
splendid action Of the Denver con-
vention with the unresponsivc, hostile
attitude of the Chicago convention.
Other questions Of the day were
treated in an equally fearless manner
by the speaker. Tom Long made
scores of friends by his speech last
night and is assured OF splendid
support from the Inland Empire.
