the state considerable money.
The wandering cat watched efforts to
snake telephone wire through a conduit

string which had been tied to it. Then
marching up it seemed to invite the task
Melvin tied the Irvine TO Judges neck
and after watching the cat disappear he
ran around the building in time to see
Fudge triumphantly emerge from the con-
duit with the string carried safely

In order to avoid overhead wiring it
was imperative to get telephone wires

clogged, and ii would have been necessary

tramp cat had not done the trick.

health they enjoy or suffer each day.
The girls didn't know whether it was
a sophomore trick or whether their
sense of the ludicrous" was being
given its first simple exercise. They
asked Miss Goes about il. She said the
cards were distributed with serious in

Of PARTY
DEPENDS ON PRIMARY
Election in Philadelphia Today
Nav Result in Downfall of
Senator PenroSe.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 30
The political leadership of the republican
party in Pennsylvania will be decided at
the mayoralty primaries being held today.
Since the death of Matthew Stanley
Quay his successor Senator Boies Pen
rose. has been at the helm of the party
ship Within the last year Senator Pen
rose has done several things that have
aroused the ire Of the local officials. and
a determined effort is being made to I'M
seat him as political boss and when his
term expires in the Senate, to send John
f. Reyburn, the present mayor of the
city, to that body.
The faction behind Penrose has chosen
George H. Earle. a lawyer Of national
repute, as it's candidate for mayor, while
his opponents, under the leadership of
Mayor Reyburn, have picked William s..
Ware.
Ware is closely allied with the Ware
contracting interests. His home district
is known as Smoky Hollow. denseiy
48, 600 republican votes In the last guber-
Material campaign. In fact. 1t Is about
the recognition of this service that the
Ware interests srlit with the republican
machine.
The Penrose Candidate.
The Penrose candidate. George H.
Earle. is a man who appeals strongly to
the better element Of the voters. He has
been carefully groomed for the race. and
has made a strong campaign. backed by
Senator Penrose, who has given evidence
of the seriousness of the fight by per-
sonally exhorting his constituents in the
different wards.
The city's mayor has powers as absolute
and autocratic as those OF a car, and
yearly. has the disposal Of millions In
contracts that are dealt out among the
faithful. The city also carries enough
republican votes In the state legislature
to control state politics, so 1t follows that
the defeat of Earle Will mean the oustlng
Of penrose when his term expires in 1915.

H|LLES KEEPS BUSY
Absorbing Political Informal
ton on Taft Trip.
ASKS MANY QUESTIONS
Presidents Secretary Gaining Accu-
rate knowledge of Conditions in
Various Parts Of Country.

SEDALIA, Mo-, September 30.-Al-
though President Taft is not having an
easy time with making speeches. attend
ing banauets and shaking hands with
thousands of people, he is not the only
member of the presidential party on the
swing around the circle who has his
hands quite full day by day.
c. d. Hilles. secretary to the Presi-
dent, acknowledged to be familiar with
the intricacies Of the political game. is
close second to his chief. Mr.. Hilles is
not a speechmaker, but he is a first-class
handshaker. and he has thirst for po-
ltical information that has been noticed
from Boston to Missouri among republi-
can leaders.
Before President Taft started west Mr..
Hilles had a good working knowledge Of
conditions throughout the country. The
present trip, however, has given him an
opportunity to get more information at
first hand, and he has taken advantage
of it at every turn. In every state that
Mr.. Taft has visited so far most Of the
party leaders have boarded his private
car. Some of them have escaped the
President with little more than cordial
greeting. but few of them have got away
from Mr.. Hilles' questioning.
Time Fully Taken Up.
OF course the Presidents secretary al
ways appears in public with the chief ex-
ecutive, sits close to him on public plat
forms, is included in the lists Of guests at
banquets, at luncheons, at dinners and
on automobile rides. but somehow or
other he has found time to conduct his
own investigation into present conditions.
The average day brings more than 100
letters and kilograms to the train. which
must be answered. but in the time he is
not corresponding with Washington or
with local committees ON the route of the
trip. or appearing with the President, Mr..
Hilles has nothing to do but talk politics.
When he gets back to Washington he TEX
poets to know a lot more about what the
country thinks of Mr.. Taft than he
knows now. and he may be able to make
an accurate forecast of how the republi-
can state delegations will line UP In the
1912 convention.
Republican national committeeman, state
chairmen and other leaders are reporting
in detail to the Presidents secretary, and
the resulting information thus far has
been encouraging to him.
