Lind could not escape the nomination.
Mr.. Lind Smiled Sweetly.
Told of the Lawlcr statement, Mr..
Lind smiled and the smile lasted
through Il series of questions which
met with answers purely negative.
1T will hardly do for me to deny
statements made by Dan Lawler," said
Mr.. Lind. He's a friend of mine and
one does not like to say that his
friend is misinfOrmed Besides. Mr..
Iawler is a much bigger man than /.

ding. The ceremony will take nlace
Thursday, June %, in the Sweden
Dorgian church. The bride is one of
the most popular girls in the younger
set, and although she has been avvav
most of the time in the last few wears
she is favorite here. The country
nome of the family is at Mountain
View. but the brother of the bride
elect, Parker Holt, is in this city. and
Miss Holt has been a frequent visitor
here. She is sister of Mrs. David
Lelth Mckay, who was Miss Edith

siveiy and is a charming girl with
many accomplishments. The young
couple are going away on wedding
journey, but will reside, upon their
return, at the Holt home at Mountain

The engagement was announced last
week of Miss Edith Pillsbury and Wal

wedding, but the plans for the future
are necessarily indefinite, as they will
depend largely upon army orders that
Lieutenant Pritchett may receive. Lieu
tenant Pritchett is well known here as
well as the bride to be. He is a son of
Doctor Pritchett, who has many friends
in Massachusetts, and society here will
remember that his second wife-that is
to say, Lieutenant Pritchetts step
mother, was Miss Eva McA1lister,
daughter of the late Judge Hall Meal
lister The family friends are legion
so that therea will be more than ordi-
nary regret over the fact that the we'd
ding must be celebrated in the east
The news of the wedding in Paris of
]. Tarn McGrew and Mrs. Isabella Scott
Grant was of unusual interest to local
society. The. Grant family is we'll
known abroad and the wedding caused
a stir in social circles in New York and
the capitals abroad. The bride was
formerly the wife of Douglas Grant.

month or more.
Lieutenant Shea is attached to the
cutter McCulloch. His home is in New
York, and it is probable that the young
couple viii pass their honeymoon in
the east.
1t is to be regretted that the we'd
ding of Miss Marie Lundeen and Lieu
tenant Edward E. Pritchett viii not be
a local event, as the friends of the
couple had hoped. The wedding is to
be celebrated in the east, and none of
the girls from this city viii be in at

vorite and, although only school girl
when her engagement was announced
to the gallant officer, she has been
feted necessarily by her young friends
She is the daughter of Colonel and Mrs.
John Lundeen, and makes her home at
the Presidio. She attends the dances at

party in force. There are dinners
planned before the performance and
nunlberless supper parties afterward.
The members of the Army and Navy
club, with the officers from the posts
around the bay, will be in attendance
in their full dress uniforms, so that the
scene will be a brilliant one. The gowns
viii add attractiveness, and it would
seem from the promise of the occasion
that the party would be great event
in social history. The service set is
responsible for much of the gayety of
the late season, and the theater party
will be doubtless a brilliant climax.
The engagement of Miss Grace Holt
and Ralph Lohman was a bit of news
last week that surprised the friends of
the couple. The betrothal was an
nounced at an informal dinner party
given several days ago at the home of

ALL DEPENDS ON
The DEMOCRATS 4
Possibility Of Alliance With
Independence League.
HEARST GIVES HIS VIEWS

Declares Republican Party Needs
Christening, but Asserts That Inde-
pendents Will Not Join Democrats
In Administering This Rebuke Un.
less the Latter's Declaration of
Principles and Candidates Are Sat
isfactory.
New York, April 1s.-W. r. Hearst,
IN signed editorial regarding the re-
ported alliance of his party with the
Democrats, says:
"The independence league is COM
mitted to principles, not to parties,
and the independent voters-because
they are independent-will unite with
any party which at any given time
most nearly expresses their principles.
"The Independence league in New
York city devoted itself to the de-
struction of Tammany Hall. That has
been accomplished-and we'll accom-
plished. By the elimination of Tam
many the Democratic party has been
greatly improved and purified and
thereby, too, the greatest obstacle to
the union of self-respecting independ-
ents with the Democratic party has
been removed.
"On the other hand, the outrageous
corruption of the Republican legisla-
ture in New York state; the brazen
effrontery of the congressional candi-
dacy of $1,000 Aldridge, the Republican
boss Of Rochester; the bribery expos
ures in the Republican city councils
of Pittsburg and Chicago; the
Corporation Domination .l
Of the national Republican administra-
tion-all combine to make a union Of
the independents with the Republican
party seem more or less impossible
and to make the Christening of the
Republican party seem more or less
essential. There remains, then, to
the independents the alternatives of
uniting with the Democrats or run
nlnS an entirely independent campaign
"Our choice of these alternatives
can only be determined by the atti-
tude of the Democrats, by their dec
laration of principles and their selec-
tion of candidates. ---. ~E
II will owe allegiance to no party
that does not express my political
convictions and rather than be an in
surgent inside of any party 1 would
be an Independent outside of every
party. " s4 ~
Insurgents and independents are of
radically different composition. An
insurgent is 80 per cent conversation
and 10 per cent action.
"A true Independent is 10 per cent
conversation and 80 per cent action
and achievement" -

IS COMPELLED TO
DECLINE INVITATION
Roosevelt Asked to Accompany
Francis Joseph on Hunt

Vienna, April 1S.-Mr. Roosevelt
and Kermit made an automobile ex-
cursion to the famous Krauzenstein
castle of Count Wilczek, some twenty
miles from Vienna. The weather was
fine and the trip was greatly enjoyed.
While at breakfast Mr.. Roosevelt re-
ceived a call from Emperor Francis
Joseph's aide, who invited him to &C.
company his majesty on a capercailzie
hunting expedition. These birds are
shot just before dawn and the emper-
or proposed that they go on a special
court train to Semmering, in the East
ern Alps. Unfortunately Mr.. Roose-
velt's engagement to receive members
of the American colony compelled him
to decline this gracious invitation.
The former president had luncheon
with American Ambassador Kerens
and later called upon Prince and
Princess Furstenberg and was escort
ed by the prince, who is at the head
of the management, to the interna-
tional sporting exhibition.
The day was concluded with a court
dinner at the Schoenbrunn castle, a
brief visit to the imperial opera, and
the reception to the American colony
at the embassy.
