AROUND THE HOTELS

IN my Judgment said resident
OF the western part of the State in
the city last night, 'the proposed
amendments to the Virginia Consti-
tuition should be regarded by tho
voters as Republican propositions.
They have never been Endorsed by a
Democratic convention. while at least
one Of them was made the subject OF
plank in the Republican State plat
form.
IT am. Of course, speaking more
particularly of the election and
eligibility for reelection of trea suress
and commissioners Of the revenue.
These were made the subjects Of
speeches In the Legislature by Re-
publican members, who wero certainly
more consistent in their attitude in
hibition. Their own platform had de-
clared for the election OF commits
soners Of the revenue by the people.
while the same platform had favored
local option while they stood for pro-
hibition.
THE Constitution was made by the
Democrats, in whose hands the mat
ter had been Entrusted by the people
OF the State. The party is Responsible
Tor it, and 1t is It's duty to stand by
lit against Republican attempts to
amend It,
1T may also be noticed that there
has been no Endorsement by the Demo

Iore Roosevelt may stay out Of politics
in New York State during the coming
campaign as a result Of the action Of
the Republican State Committee yester-
day in refusing to recommend him as
temporary chairman of, the convention.
Colonel Roosevelt laughed to-day as
he talked of yesterdays meeting and
said that the result gave him genuine
pleasure. He explained his attitude by
SAYING that he felt the committee had
relieved him OF all responsibility in
connection with the conduct and re-
suit Of the campaign.
He added that he had not decided

Buchanan.
Buchanan and Miss Cheek had been
engaged for some time, but the girls
parents opposed the match. Miss
Cheeks parents learned that the low
ers planned to elope, and they locked
the girl in her room after taking
away her clothing.
Buchanan heard of his sweetnearts
predicament, and after midnight went
In an auto to the Cheek home. BY
throwing pebbles against her window
he attracted the girls attention, and
found her willing to elope. though she
admitted that her trousseau consisted
Of nightgown and a pair Of stock
ings. BY means of a stepladder Miss
Cheek descended from her room into
the arms of her lover and was placed
in the auto and hurried to the rectory
of the Emanuel Baptist Church.
The Rev. w. L. Gilmore was aroused
at O'clock, and quickly made the low
ers man and wife, the bride looking
very pretty in her "nightie" and stock
ings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Buchanan went TO a
hotel. rang up the Cheek home. told
of the marriage, and asked for clothes
for the bride. In short time the
brides trunk came, accompanied with
a blessing.

the selection OF. Mr.. Sherman over Mr..

! aaid he had no intention OF withdraw
ing In favor OF Colonel Roosevelt, and
the trea ted lightly the stories that there
might be a. fight to repudiate the action
OF the State committee in the conven-
ton.
The vicc.President also talked nth
j the President regarding the consres-

At Mr.. sherman's solicitation President
TAFT agreed to point the way In the

tee.
While the fight apparently Is to be
directed along the lines Of the past,

strictly adhered to. It is even said
that President Sherman, one Of

ever had, has become reconciled to the
fact that Mr.. Cannon must go. A
