Roosevelt for u. S. Senate
to Succeed ChaunceY DeneW2

WASHINGTON, April Eth eoiore
Roosevelt for the united States senate
as successor of Chauncey Depew. This
is the way the present prophets and
wiseacres in Washington have the situ-
alton in New York state figured ont to-
day. .-'h1.
1t seems to be generally believed that
this offers a solution for the Republican
party's problems in the Empire State and
the nation at large. 1T is agreed that
Hughes appointment, leaves Colonel
Roosevelt as the probable dictator of
the party in New York state and party
leaders in Washington believe that Mr..
Roosevelt will realize that a strong fac.
tor in the race in New York will be ne
cessary to Republican success. With
Theodore Roosevelt as candidate for the
senate it is predicted here that the Re
publican party would easily retain con-
troll Of the legislature, and that the
Roosevelt personality IN the campaign
would bring success TO the entire state
ticket.
This new feature Of the situation was
widely discussed today both at the cap
itol and the White House by senator's
and representatives though none was
willing to take the matter up directly
with the president. ..
Friends of the administration pointed
out today the fact that as United
States senator the returning African
hunter would become a power in the ad-
ministration and his support in the up
per branch Of congress would mean
wonderful strengthening Of Mr.. Taft's
hands. They believe thar as a means
of giving free play to the wonderful
Roosevelt activities o. mind and body.
as a solution Of difficulties confronting
the administration for which he was
largely responsible and from many other
reasons. Colonel Roosevelt and the
United States sena,e are rapidly moving
toward each other.

to connect the excited woman's feet
with the floor.

burst against the delinquent Hasty.
But the deacon's daughter did not
hear. Her eyes were already wander
ing anxicusly to the lights and the tin
sci OF the little world beyond the win
dow.
This was not the first time today
that Mandy had found herself talking
to space. There had been steady
stream Of callers at the parsonage
since II that morning, but she had
long ago confided to the pastor that
she suspected their reasons.

Mandy had declared that she knew an
other name for 1t and had mumbled
something about "hypocritters'' as she
seized her broom and began to sweep
imaginary tracks from In front OF the
door.
Many times she had made up her
mind to let the next caller know just
what she thought OF "hypocritters,"
but her determination was usually
weakened by her still greater desire TO
excite increased wonder In the faces
of her visitors.
Divided between these two inclina.

shining eyes OF the deacon's daughter
conquered, and she launched forth into
an eager description of how she had

showing Julia the sights beyond the
window that she did not hear Miss
Perkins, the thin Tipped spinster, who
entered, followed by the Widow vii
loughby, dragging her seven-year-old
son Willie by the hand.
The women were protesting because
their choir practice Of "What Shall the

"It's scandalous!' Miss Perkins snap

with an unmistakable air &c grievance

Indifferent TO their resentment and
had gone on his way with CHEEKY nod

enough to upset chair as he turned
from the table. This brought a chorus
Of EXPLANATIONS from the women, who,
chattering, rushed quickly toward him.
"What do you think of my naughty

"He dragged me quite to the window"

the helpless red haired urchin by her
side, but he made no comment beyond
offering chair to each OF the women.

an Injured air. "But I defy any one

Jerked her hand In the direction OF the

the "hoochee coochee."

to try to console her.
