prefer TO remain as secretary OF state.
vhich position has been offered 10 him.
Mr.. Taft would unQuestionably like to
have him stay there. for variety os
reasons. On the other hand. a sena-
torial seat from the great state OF
New York is a prize not to be pus
aside.
II Mr.. Root should be elected this
winter. he will hold Office for term
OF ut least six years With a man Of
his distinguished capacity, it would be
safe to Say he could remain in the
senate as long as he lives. provided
New York remains Republican. II, In
the meanwhile, a vacancy should oc-
cur on the supreme bench, his seat
In the senate would be no bar 10 such
an appointment
All these reasons undoubtedly In
fiuenced Mr.. Root to make the fol-
lowing formal announcement OF his
position:
II think the Republicans Of New
York who have expressed a wish 10
bring about my election IA senator are
entitled TO a definite statement OF nv
position. do not think that the great
once ought TO be given TO any one
because he wants II, but II the legis-
lature Of New York, representing thu
people OF that state, feel I can render
useful service 10 the state and coun-
try in the senate and call upon me 10
render that service l shall respond TO
their cali and accept the Office"
There are a lot OF Republican lead
ers In New York state TO whom this
announcement came in an unpleasant
way. They had hoped TO keep the
thing In the air until the legislature
meets and by that time to confuse the
situation 30 that Mr.. Root could not
get the place without a fight. He Is
not the kind Of man to go into scram-
BILE for an ONCE OF that kind, and II
the Republican caucus were badly
split UP he probably would pull out
In advance.
Many of the New York politicians
Who have their lightning rods up think
they see in the announcement by Mr.
Root today the def political hand OF
President Roosevelt. They say the
president was shrewd enough TO see
that It Would be a great advantage TO
Mr.. Root to be first In the field. He
thus becomes the leading candidate,
and any others who get into the fight
must openly antagonist him and the
national administration.

CHARITY FETE
IS ARRANGED
HOUSE OF PROVIDENCE WILL
HOLD BAZAAR. LASTING A
WEEK, IN WAYNE PAVILION.

Arrangements have beer practically
completed for the big chrysanthemum
fete and bazaar for the benefit OF the
new House of Providence hospital
which Is being erected on West Grand
boulevard. The affair viii be given
in the Wayne pavilion and VIII last
week. beginning Monday evening, NOV.
80, with a promenade concert. Con
gresham DENLY and Mayor thompson
have been invited TO be present al the
opening and deliver addresses, and a
special program OF music and other
entertainment will be provided Tor
each evening.
As there will be an informal dance
the first evening. the admission mas
been placed at so cents. but during
the remainder OF the week, the NOM
inal fee of ten cents will be charged.
Each evening will be given over TO
one or more of the various charitable
organizations. and IL is expected that
members will attend at that time.
While the members OF nearly every
Catholic church In the city is taking
an active part in the bazaar. dona-
tons have been received from busi-
ness men, irrespective OF creed. as the
institution is non-sectarian. Inc Al
ma Mater society OF Windsor has also
taken a booth and the ladies OF the
border town are assisting materially
with the work. Tuesday and Satur-
day evenings. the Seventh regiment
band will furnish the music.
The idea is prevalent In some places
that only those who have been person
ally invited are expected TO take an
active part in the bazaar, but the Ia
dies In charge are anxious that any
one who has the time to devote TO this
charity, will attend the meetings and
do what she can TO further the inter
ests OF the work.
Mrs. Miles, OF the Miles Business
college, has contributed a scholarship
10 either young man or woman, and
IL il expected TO dispose OF this by
voting for the popular girl or boy.
Another meeting OF the committees
will be held in the home on Elizabeth
st next Tuesday morning and the final
meeting Friday morning after Thanks
giving.
The president Of the organization is
Mrs. John " Moran, first vice-presl-
dent, Mrs. NJ. Higgins; second vice
president, Mrs. Felix McWilliams;

tary. Mrs. James s. Saunders. Mrs.
