Today was 10 exception to what has
been going on for several days. Visitors

Oklahoma would be democratic, but the

Will Not Elect Chairman.

1t is generally conceded that the ma
tional committee will make no effort to
name the chairman who is to conduct the
republican campaign next fall at next
weeks session. Quiet word has gone
around, it is understood, that President
Taft is opposed to the selection of the
chairman at this time he taking the
position that the nominee of the conven-
ton should be left free to name his
chairman and, in the event he is not nom
mated he does not want to enbarraSS the
one who is
But outside of the question Fl king the
time and the place for the convention,
two other questions are sure to be
brought before the committee. One is the
old. old proposition to cut down the
southern representation In the national
convention Some of the prosreSSves
who think the administration can eXer-
else too much power in the convention
through the patronage of the southern
states will be lined uD for the change,
and they may get some recruits from the
states along the Canadian border.

The Primaries Proposition.

Another proposition to come up will
be the demand of the prosressives,
formally made through Senator Bourne,
the president of the National Progress
sive Republican League, that the nation
al committee recommend the holding
of presidential preference primaries
throughout the country for the selection
Of men to head the national ticket.
Those who keep in touch with politics
claim to see little chance for that pro-
poSal to get far. They point out that
there have been few changes in the
personnel of the national committee
since the campaign of 1908 under Chair
man Frank Hitchcock, and they argue
that the ma jolity. who were with the
republican regulars at that time, will re-
main SteadfaSt again against the pro-
greSSiye proposals. IT is claimed t.iat
about thirty-five members will be found
standing together.

Young Skwell Chester thought very
well Of himself. He had studied law
and been admitted to the bar. He was
rather go~odlooking and the praises
OF certain ladies' had made him vain.
While waiting for his first case ne
had the consolation of feeling that mis-
bread and butter did not depend on IT,
Altogether, Mr.. Chester was taking q
rosy view Of life. He might have con-
tinued in this line for many months
more but for forming the acquaint-
ance of Miss Mildred Vane.
After his first case q lawyer Is eau
tious. Instead Of plunging he looks up
the law. The first time MI. Chester
met Miss vane he admired her. the
second time he fell In love. The third
time-well, Miss Vane was rather a
blunt-outspoken girl. and she turned
on him with:
"Mr. Chester, / should think the law
would occupy your attention to the ex-
clusion OF everything else until you
had carved a name for yourself
Mr.. Chester mentally admitted tnat
the girl had the advantage.
"You aren't in practice yet, are
you?" continued the girl. 4 mean the
practice of law"
I'll haven't had a case"
But you probably will have. II you
wait long enough"
Yes"
II had an uncle who studied law and
waited five years for his first client.
She was an old woman who had had a
o stolen from her. 1t was a sim
ple case, but he won it and then went
right head and became a great lawyer.
You should not get discouraged
Lawyers never swear. They know
the laws against profanity. They
never indulge in threats. There's q
law about that. They never seek re.
venge. The law faces them again. Mr
Chester felt himself crushed, but he
could lock himself in his ofiice and de-
clare in whispers that the day would
come-yes, it should come-by the
beard Of his father II must come
| when-and SO on and sc forth! Then
he took up life again and cid more
| waiting for a client and still continued
to love Misc Mildred Vane, though he
took care not to lisp the fact to any
body.
