Susie L. Merrill. of New York. 10 her

press the case.
The affairs OF Mrs. Merrill are now
exciting much comment in New York, and
the name of Thaw has been brought into
the case.
The letter was addressed to Thaw at

Even before this letter had reached

distrustful Of her husband, owing 10 his
escapades with a fifteen-year-old girl of
Williamsburg, a suburb, where Thaw had
been arrested and fined by Justice Sam

New York June 2l.--The Sun tonight
received the following from its Wash
ingtOn correspondent:
It is regarded here as certain that
Representative Tawney, of Minnesota,
will manage the Republican Congress
sional campaign.
The only doubt seems 70 be IN Mr.
Tawney's Discrimination 10 undertake the
work. Washington men in the confidence
OF the Congressional leaders have heard
from Chicago that Mr.. Tawney has been
requested 10 so right at 1t without wait
ing FOR meeting OF the Congressional
committee 70 appoint him as successor 10
Representative Sherman. who practically
retired from the craftsmanship Of the
Congressional campaign committee upon
being nominated for the Vice Presidency.
Mr.. Sherman conferred with his fellow
members OF the committee. and ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Tawney
should be given the reins, and the COM
mittee individually concUrred

1t would be hard TO get the committee

Friends OF Mr.. Tawney say he would
Ike 20 pass the honor and responsibility
20 some one else II he could. but they
do not see how he can when a session
OF the committee cannot well be called.
With the advancement of Mr.. Tawney
20 the craftsmanship, Representative
LOudenslager. Of New Jersey. who is sec
-etary Of the committee. Will probably be
made vice chairman.
Mr.. Sherman being a member Of the
al-pCwerful Committee On Rules of the
House, interest is keen 10 determine who
may succeed him there.
Representative Mann. Of Illinois, IS the
first tip that is passed around as a sure
thing Mr.. Mann IS one of the live men,
I bcrs on the Republican side. He has been
IN the limelight through all the sqCab-
bles. Notwithstanding the shadows cast
by the mighty ones that Speaker Cannon
recognizes as his leUtenants.
Mann Has Earned Promotion.
Mann's particular business in the House
has been 70 sit fast and scan every line
of every bill up for passage. and suggest
trimmings and decorations.
No one doubts Mr.. Mann has earned
promotion. and that the Speaker has a
beaming eye on him. All that can hold
him back Is HIS usefulness on an endless
, task that every one shuns. being out OF
the public eye and requiring exhaustive
reading in recess hours and wrapt at
tention during the legislative day. Mr.
Manns friends are afraid that he per
formed the duties assigned him so We'll
that he might be asked to stick to the
/ job.

and acquaint themselves with the broad
principles of the church and the work II
is accomplishing in the world. He re-
ferred 20 the conditions existing in the
Philippines, and said that Secretary Taft,
in dealing with the problems which had
there confronted him. had shown a
breadth of view and grasp OF the true
situation which afforded a worthy ex-
ample in affairs OF government.
AS an example OF the fearless and in
dependent spirit Of the Secretary Of War,
he cited his address on the Philippines
before Presbyterian assemblage.
