September. This applies especially to the growing sentiment throughout the coun- try in favor of the nomination of Wood row Wilson, governor of New Jersey.
 There is no question but that Taft looks upon Wilson as the strongest possible man whom the democrats could nominate. If he should continue to grow in public esteem as he has since he drove through his reform programme in the New Jersey legislature, the republicans expect to find him dangerously formidable.
 It is common knowledge In Washington that the administration has never re- garded the Harmon boom seriously. He. next to Bryan, they say, is the weakest man the democrats could put forth, and they would joyously welcome his nomina- ton next year. Friends of Harmon say, on the other hand. that this very feeling on the part of the republicans would re- suit in Harmon's election.
 Another thing which has actuated the President in planning his reelection cam paign for September is the fact that by then the democratic House will have made it's record, This will then be subject to the widest comment and some of this comment will come from the President as head of his own party.
 Soon after the recent election showed that the democrats would control the present House the discussion of the re- publican partys policy and legislative programme began. At first it was thought that the programme could not be acted upon until the regular session of Congress next December. However, the extra session came on, and the demo- cratic opportunity has come eight months earlier.
 Democratic tariff reform ideas, economy plans and campaign schemes will all have been spread before the country before the President starts west on his coming trip. He will naturally take some of the wind out of the opposition party's sails if there is any point of attack open to him. By this western trip, therefore, the presidential campaign will have come be- l fore the people more than six months ahead of time. It will begin more than
 year before the election, and more than
 eight months before the national con ventons meet. a.,t
 The fact is, presidential campaigns
 never end As soon as an election settles
 the fate of one party ticket the work for | the next election begins. Both the re- Ipublieans and .he democrats have been preparing for their 1912 fight since the Taft admir.stration began.
 1 The real issue developed during the first 1 extra session of Congress, known as the tarif session, is the Payne-Aldrich tariff bili. It was the issue which determined the result of the congressional elections last November. It will be one of the is- sues in the election a year from next No vember.
 However this may be. all big political fights must have formal beginning, a ''whooping-it-up'' process. This is what the President proposes to inaugurate when he goes to Kansas in September He will make a wide swing, too, and the Kansas State Fair will turn out to be one of the side-tracking stops. instead of
 the real objective point of the journey.

Straws in the Smoking Room

From the New York World.
 There is no odor more disagreeable than that of stale tobacco smoke and tobacco ashes. Sometimes room be- comes so permeated with it that it Is hardly possible for delicate persons to breathe in it. No amount Of ventila- ton or cleaning seems to have much effect once the tobacco odor has be- come a distinguished feature of the smoking room or den.
 Here is a remedy suggested by a housewife who suffered and overcame;
 Close the room up we'll overnight. with doors and windows tightly shut, and leave in it a large pail full or water with a few wisps of straw. For some reason the water and straw together absorb the smoke and even take up the odor of ashes. Needless to say, all discoverable ashes should pre- viously have been removed and thrown away W a
 By morning the room is odorless and little airing will cool it out and put it again in condition for use.

prietors doing a Sunday business was

was caught. John Farkus, twenty
eight years old, of 432 Smith street,

The iawbreaker was arraigned be-
fore Recorder Henry w. Kehoe this
morning and fined SIS. He was given
a week to pay it in.
Farkus admitted his guilt when
arraigned this morning but express
ed it as his contention that IL groc-
ers, bakers and saloonkeepers about
him could do a Sunday business he
should also be permitted to do so.
He was asked II he would like to go
over the road for a while, to which
he replied he didn't care, but the
authorities would have to take care
OF his wife and four children. He
claimed to be in poor circumstances
and his business required him to
work mostly on Saturdays and Sum
days. In recognition of his position
with a family and no money the
court gave him time to pay the fine.

with the police In a concerted effort
to stop Sunday barber business.

Wat substantial concrete abut-

necessary to make the structure safe

opinion OF the committee OF the

subject In hand, following 4 recent
Inspection. Freebooter Anthony J.
Gebhardt, who Ii At thu head 81 .hat
committee, sltd today that he did
not believe 3 new bridge would be
necessary If sufficiently substantial
approaches were built at the north
er1y and souther1y ends OF the struc-
ture. He advised concrete abut-
ments. It Is likely that tho commit
tee will so report to the board at It's
next meeting.
The Public Utility Commission
has taken a hand In the subject and
1t is stated the war department In
tends shortly to investigate 1t. II
either of these bodies deem q new
bridge essential to traffic across ths

proceed to build one of concrete and

tempt to adjust matters by con-

HEBREW CLUB
DIDN'T MEET
Chairman TIbe Dimond Re-
plies to His Enemies.

There has been no further move
In the alleged d~issension of the
Hebrew Democratic Club, Of this
city, and the reported endeavor to
force Tube Dimond, chairman, to re-
sign his position at the next meeting
Of the club. There was no meeting
yesterday, as expected, and Mr..
Dimond has expressed surprise at
the alleged rumors In a letter to the
EVENING NEWS today. In his com
munication Mr.. Dimond declared no
meeting of the club had been called
for yesterday and, If a session had
taken place, he had nc expectations
Of resigning.
On Saturday the EVENING NEWS
printed an article referring to a
rumor circulating town to the effect
that Mr.. Dimond would be asked to
resign at the next meeting of the
club. or would prorer his resignation
before such q request was made.
The story printed, and many OF the
views expressed, were given to a re-
porter by Max Litwin, one of the
o~rganizers-of the club. He said that
a meeting was to take place the next
day, Sunday, and at that meeting
Mr.. Dimond would resign owing to
dissension existing In tho organiza-
tion following the primary fight.
Neither Mr.. Litwin nor any other In
1uential members could be seen to-
day, owing to the Hebrew holiday.
Mr.. Dimond's letter follows:
Dear Editor:
In Saturdays issue of the EVEN
ING NEWS you had en- article with
the heading Resignation May Be
Asked" / am surprised to see that
someone makes a washing basin of
your worthy paper to wash the dirt
on the someone's face. / would like
to SEQ that someone and see II his
face is clean now. / don't think that
that someone's lace could be clean
ed n more, as that article was
false from the beginning to the end,
First there was no meeting intended
for that Sunday: second, that there
was no such request made to me
concerning a resignation; third, that
/ heard no such rumor; fourth, that
Mr.. Bollschweiler's endorsement was
carried through once by Eyes and
Nay" and second by a rising vote.
There were only two to oppose the
endorsement of the entire member
chip at that meeting. Fifth, In gem
eral in any organization we can find
one or two greedy people that want
to use the organizations interests
for thcir own sndsviduat benefits,
whinh very seldom they can accom-
pltsh, and 81 they get sore. OF
course soreheads and cranky mem
bers will do almost anything to hurt
the organization at large and the
members individually.
Kindly find space in your worthy
paper for my statement.
Yours truly,
TUBE CIMCND,
| Chairman OF
Hebrew Democratic Club.
