ing Hotel.

ton will also take place there on Sat

on Monday, April 4.
The IL other precinct headquarters
in the township will remain unchanged.
The locations of the several precincts

Little Interest in Politics.
Considerable apathy has been shown
so far i'm Calumet township politics.
Although opposition has developed for
several positions which will be vacated
this spring, public interest in the situa-
tion does not compare with that which
has been found in other years. 1t is
thought, however that interest will in
crease between now and the time of
the caucus to be held Friday evening.
Several candidates have announced
themselves for various positions in the
township. c. T.. l.. Thomas, the pres
ent clerk, will seek recollection bdt will
be opposed at the caucus and polls by
George Martin. Justice G. O. Jackola
will be candidate to succeed himself
but will have opposition in Fred B.
Trathen. 1t is also likely that Peter
Charter will enter the race for the
lusticeship For treasurer George Fax
and Will Lamore have announced
themselves. Charles Mugford will be a
candidate for reelection to the posi-
tion of Commissioner of Highways, but
the friends of George Hall of Laurium
are trying to prevail upon him to en-
ter the race for this position. 1t is not
liekly that Supervisor James Mac
Naughton will have opposition at the
caucus or polls. No opposition has so
far appeared for the office of overseer
of highways. now held by Alex Sivola.

MUCH DEPENDS

Politicians Attach Uuusual Sig
nificancs to Taft-Hughes
Meeting Today.
SEEKS TO PROMOTE HARMONY
President and Governor With Leading
Republicans of New York to
GrappIe With Situation-Root
May Take Hand.

Albany, n. Y, March 19.--Unless the
predictions of the wise politicians go
astray substantial progress will be
made within the next day or two in
relieving the present disturbing con-
ditions in the republican party i'm New
York and putting ii into shape for
the coming campaign. President Taft.
who is spending two days here as the
guest of Governor Hughes, is expected
as is proper for him 20 do to assist
in the movement 10 bring order out
Of the political chaos
The whole political situation is TO be
thoroughly threshed out by President
Taft. Governor Hughes and such of
the state leaders as may be called into
conference. The understanding here
Is that Senator Root will be asked to
take hold Of the situation and see what
he can do with il. Governor Hughes
is willing 20 give all ~ the assistance
in his power, but since lie has decid-
ed not 10 accept a denomination he
does not care to assume any respon-
sibility as the party leader in the
state. With the governor determined
upon this course. the party naturally
turns to Senator Root.
Senator Root win. of course. be
guided by whatever advice President
Taft and Governor Hughes may wish
to offer. While many problems con-
front the Seneator in his desire to see
the party OF his state get in shape to
win at the coming election. two stand
out conspicuously: First, how to handle
the scandals that have developed in
the general assembly; and second. to
find the right candidate for governor.
So far no headway appears to have
been made toward finding a guberna-
torial candidate. Some weeks ago n
movement was under way to have
William Loeb, Jr., take the nominal
tion. but when the subject was broach-
ed TO Mr. Loeb, who is now collector
Of customs at New York. he made it
plain that he did not care for the nom
nation.
OF course there is much speculation
as to what former President Roosevelt
will do about the New York situation
when he returns. Some of his ad-
miners think he could be pursuaded to
accept the nomination for governor,
but his closest friends are quite firm
in the belief that he will not give the

Disagreeable Work.

Searching for important old manu-
scripts at the British public record
office, whether by Shakespearean stu
dents or others, is disagreeable work.
Nine-tenths Of the manuscripts are
covered with the dust Of ages, and an
hour among them makes the search er
as black as a sweep. Some of the
documents are so fragile that they
can scarcely be touched without their
falling to pieces, such as those res
cued from the House of Lords fire
in 1884, which were so hopelessly
saturated with water that bundles
of them had to be squeezed dry in
powerful presses. 1t has been esti-
mated that it would take fifty house
maids fifty years to spring clean the
contents Of the record Office.
