way of legislation, making good the
pledges given the country by the party
in it's last nationl platform.
The president is therefore determin-
ed that there shall be action on the
part of congress, so that the party
may have something with which to go
before the country in the approaching
campaign.

had elapsed after her death. She Is
described as Mile. X, and it has been
stipulated that her real name be kept

1t is generally believed here that
the mysterious Mile. X. is a woman
with whom the poet lived in intimate
relations for eleven years and who
married his brother, Paul, after Al

tions which might betray her identi'

This attitude ON the part Of the

On the highest authority, the cores.
pondent is permitted to say that the
president has no special interest in the
controversy between the INSURGENTS
and the speaker over the rules. He
has taken no sides in that fight and
will not do so. But he insists that
this fight shall not 80 ON during the
present session to a point cndaugcring
the legislative program which, as a
party leader, he has mapped out.
He wants the insurgents to quit

the administration bills can be put

see fit to renew it. we'll and good, and
he is likely to take a hand against

rock of untitled pledges. Should they
fall in with him in an effort to give
the country what the Chicago conven.

they are entitled to.
The president regards the present
crisis as one of the most serious the
party has faced for years, and he sees
party defeat unless there can be i'm

that men claiming to belong to the re-
