BY ROBERT LEE CARTER

Former Governor Robert B. Glenn OF
North Carolina has been telling the
people of New York what a good thing
prohibition is this week. While have
no idea the pleas of the eloquent North
Carolinian will drive the demon rum
out of New York, he is mighty good
speaker, and New Workers have enjoyed
listening to him. 1 had the pleasure of
hearing him in an uptown church Mon
day night, and the big audience of men
were evidently charmed with his earn
estness and eloquence.
Governor Glenn, by the way, wants 1t
distinctly understood that he is not out
of politics. Quite the contrary. He is
after no office, however at present
though if his friends become very in
sistent he might be induced to stand
for the United States Senate.
when asked for an expression on ma
tfonal politics, Governor Glenn said:
It always have been a strong Har-
mon man. I believe 1 was the first one
IN advance his name as a democratic
nominee for President.
"All depends on the way Ohio goes.
If Governor Harmon carries the state,
don't believe there is the slightest
possibility of defeating him at the dem
ocratic national convention in 1912.
And if nominated I sincerely believe he
will be elected.
Il have travelled through 81 states in
the last year, and 1 never saw a more
promising outlook for democratic vic
tory"
AS a second choice. in the event Gov
ernor Harmon fails to carry his state,
Governor Glenn advances the names of
Mayor William H. Gaynor of New York
and Gov. Thomas R. Marshall of In
diana.
q have always been a great admirer
of Gaynor, and if Harmon fails to carry
Ohio 1 think he would be the best
choice to head the ticket. Marshall also
is strong man."
"Who do you think would make a
good man for second place on the tick
et?" he was asked.
1.-The second place should go to a
southern man. The south has been do
ing the voting, and has stuck solidly
by the party, and it is about time we
were given a representation on the
ticket"
Miss Elsie Gaylord Latham, widow of
the late John C. Latham, who founded the
big brokerage house of Latham, Alex
ander & Co, has decided to withdraw her
contest against her husbands will in
which he left much money to Hopkins
vile, KY, his native town, and the be-
quests will go to Hopkinsville. Mrs La
than was Miss Elsie Gaylord before she
married Mr. Latham in 1901.
The New York stage has just received
a new recruit in Mrs. Rose Mundell of the
noted southern family of Mayo of Ten
nessee and Alabama. Before her mar
rage in the Quaker City she was one of
the most popular bellies of the south, and
since she came north has become no less
a favorite in the society of Philadelphia
and New York city.
Her little daughter, when she comes of
age, will be one of the heirs of the great
Mundell estate in Philadelphia. Mrs Mum
dell also belongs to the famous Lee fam
lily of Virginia, though she considers Mo-
bile, Ala, where she lived as a girl, her
home city. She came from the south first
to attend a fashionable finishing school,
in Philadelphia and, SO to speak, mar
ried from the school,
Mrs. Mundell is a member of the Co.
lonial Danes, the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution and the Daughters of the
Confederacy. She is also a life member
of the Red Cross society," distinction
which was bestowed upon her after she
had turned her own house In PHILADELPHIA
into hospital for the sick southern boys
at the time of the Spanish American war
In addition to giving her house Mrs Mum
sell also gave her own services as
| nurse.
1t was about year ago that Mrs. Mum
dell, by the advice of her friend, made UP
| her mind to go on the stage where her
! beauty and talents should win quick rec
ognition. She takes the stage name of
Roslyne Mundell.
