CatO'S Refrain,

1t was Cato who always ended every
speech he made in the Roman senate
with the words, "Delenda est Cartha-
60" Carthage must be destroyed
It made no difference what subject he
was discussing, Cato always used this
warning, claiming that the safety of
the Roman empire depended on the
destruction of its rival across the
Mediterranean.

Occasionally one spills ink upon
book which may be valued very
highly. The best way to remove the
ink stain says an exchange is first to
wash the paper with warm water
using a camel's hair pencil for the
purpose. By this means the surface
ink is gotten rid of. The paper must
then be wet with solution of oxa tie
of potash, or, better still, oxalic acid,
in the proportion of one ounce to half
a pint Of water. The ink stains will
Immediately disappear. Finally wash
the stained place with clean water
and dry it with white plotting paper.

A Personal Appeal.

If we could talk TO you personally
about the great merit f Foley

term" and a stampede to Roosevelt is
still looming in the back ground. Not
all of the allies have yet given up hope
and the supporters of Hughes, Fair
banks, Knox and Cannon are at times
able to make themselves heard above
the deafening din of the Taft men.
The candidates for vice president
are also receiving much attention from
the delegates and thousands of poll
ticians and the supporters of the yari-
Gus men now in the field are urging
the merits of their favorites with the
greatest vehemence. There is general
talk today that Fairbanks may sue
coed himself, but this is strennously
denied by delegates from states having
favorite sons of their own.
Manager Frank H. Hitchcock, o. The
Taft headquarters, is claiming 700
votes for his candidate on the first
ballot and declares that no other can
didate will be seriously considered
As only 491 votes are necessary TO
nominate, loss of 200 from this esti-
mate would still leave Taft the/victor.
Manager Humphrey, of the Hughes
headquarters alleges that the New
York candidate will receive not less
than 125 votes on the first ballot.

The Coliseum-the scene of many
historic gatherings-is now ready for
the opening of the convention, the final
touch to the decorations having been
added today. Both the interior and
the exterior of the big edifice have
been decorated in lavish and artistic
manner
Many changes have been made in

being an entire change in the seating

of being at the center of one side of
the Coliseum. is at one end. This
does not decrease the number of seas,
but will permit all who occupy seats
both to see and to hear all the pro.
ceedings.
The total number of seats, is 11.011,
which includes the seats provided in
the balcony that extends around the
hall. On raised platform above the
floor of the auditorium are seats for
the chairman and secretaries of the
convention and fifty-six seats for mem
bers of the national committee. This
section Immediately in the rear of
the platform provided for specially in
vited guests contains 1926 seatsA Di.
rectly in front of the platform and ex-
tending on both sides of it are the sec
tions pf9vided for working members of
the press. These sections give desk
room for 416 writer's, nearly 100 more
than were provided for at the last con
vention.
In the body of the hall 1000 seats
are provided for the delegates and I'M
mediately back of them 1000 more
have been set aside for the alternates.
On each side of these two sections
and in the rear of them are S,615 seats
for the spectators, these sections being
arranged in amphitheater style. The
balcony sections contain 9,19S seats
for the general public, most of them
being very desirable.
Entrances to the hall are provided
on all sides, the total numbering
twelve, exclusive of several stairway
entrances from the basement to the
platform and guests sections. In the
basement admirable arrangements
have been made for the convenience of
the delegates, alternates and the mam-
bers of the press. Telegraph and tele-
phone offices have been established
and typewriting rooms provided for
newspaper men. The decorations of
the Coliseum, both inside and outside,
are elaborate and beautiful
No portraits have been allowed
among the embellishments of the Coli
scum. The convention hall will be alb

MAKES LUSTY CLAIM
Says That More Than 700 Delegates

Crowded, With standing Room
Only" Signs Displayed.

Chicago, June 15.-Trumpeting Wild
~ and with the scent of battle in mis-
proboscis. a trifie angered, perhaps, by
the prodding of ambitious ones who
are attempting to climb upon his back,
but still sound of wind and limb and
eager for the fray, the old war Gle
plant of the Grand Old Party was
again led forth in Chicago today. 1t is
well that the aged beast of burden is
in good condition, for if the enthus-
iasm of the Taft boomers today is any
criterion, the G. o. p. elephant will
have a hefty candidate to carry in this
years race. While the main show in
the Coliseum will not open until noon
tomorrow, practically all the PERFORM
ers, scene shutters and audience are
now in the city and every tavern in the
big town is displaying a "stan lung
room only sign.
While many of the thirteen pIeced-
ing national conventions of the Repub-
lican party have not been lacking in
spectacular features, this years per-
Torrance promises to be the liveiiest
in its history. While all the surface
indications point to the speedy nomin-
