The New Jersey situation, he said, was
gratifying also, according to the word Of
Ex-Governor Murphy and Mr.. Kelsey.
Speaking OF the situation as a whole
President Taft said the conference showed
there was a revival of Republican
strength Every one present, he said, tes-
tilted TO the indications OF II.

The President looked pleased when

President Taft if nc would take any
part in the selection of a candidate for

He replied that that problem did not
devolve upon him under the Constitu-

land. He said there were rlenty of
good men, and he had no doubt good
selection would be made. He added
that il looked now as though the prob

Length OF Platform.


There has been considerable talk as 10
whether the platform should be short
combining itself largely 20 generallties. out
side Of one or two topics. or whether II
should be more specific and outline some
thing Of a programme. Mr. Barnes is for
tho former course. Mr.. Parsons and
others believe the platform should be long
enough To indicate some specific ways in
which The Republican party pledges itself
10 reform the government
or course The platform will contain a
strong plank Endorsing the Taft admins
tratiOn ana the action Of the national
convention in renomInating the President.
The national platform VIII Ice reailirmed,
but there VIII be special tariff plank.
Nor will there be any difference OF opn-
ION as TO the plank that will denounce the
present Democratic state administration
so incompetent and extravagant.
When IL comes 10 the reafilrmation OF
the Rochester platform there will be OPP
position. Mr.. Barnes, OF course, wants
the reahirmation.
Another fight. and a bitter one. will be
waged over the nature OF the declaration
VA hlIt'N pflInhilcS. MI. BARNES d0NO-
Gates the repeal Of the present Ferris
Blauvelt law. as well as the Levy election
law, without declaring for any specific

There Will be a strong workmcn's COM
pensation plank. Senator Root. a mem
her Of the subcommittee OF the United
States Senate which reported the federal
bill on that subject, is drafting a tenta-
tive plank.
Senator Root is also drawing n tenta-
tive plank for tho tightening OF the cor
rupt practices act. In general, II is under
stood. II will favor law which would
provide for the invalldation OF the cleo
ton OF any man who could not dsprove
responsibility for any Illegal expenditures
that might have been made 10 secure his
election.
There will be conservation plank a
grade crossing plank and probably some

he fears there is danger that such

into conflict with the constitution.

Senator Josiah T. Newcomb. the
Straus Republican, says; "All these
other suggestions are impossibilities'
There's nothing in them, and the men
who make them know that Sraus

possibility in this situation, and all the
men who are talking against him know
IT,"
Senator Newcomb believes Mr.. Straus
would accept the nomination.
But whether he does or rot SAID

That is his responsibility. It's ours
here to choose a candidate we can
elect. and we should choose him.

PerpIexed Over judiciary.

The Court Of Appeals situation con-
tinues 10 preplex leaders. They want
to nominate Judge Hiscock. They want
to elect him. They want to nominate
and elect Senator Bracket next year.
But they are somewhat in doubt
whether they can do either without a
bipartisan lineup this year and next,
and many leaders. from Chairman
Barnes down, are against a bipartisan
alliance.
A new complication was suggested
to-day. Some lawyers contend that
under the election law as It stands now
there could not be a committee ar
rangement TO put the Democratic
nominee on the ballot. as a Republican
choice, as was placed by the Roosevelt
convention two years ago. Then the
Republicans nominated their man and
adjourned, leaving a committee on
vacancies 10 put the name nominated
by the Democrats for the second va
cancy in the place left on the Repub-
AANdu llNhtLs IIAC EOnltllllOl II al
vanced that under the present election
law committee on vacancies cannot
fill a place for which the convention
made no nomination.
Lawyers are digging on that point
tonight, as il would have an important
bearing on whether two Republicans
should be nominated and a fight made
against the Democratic nominees fcr
the Court Of Appeals.
Chairman Barnes Is devoting his at
tention almost entirely 10 the plat
form. That he wants 10 be a model
document lie is keen on a general at
tack on Tammany Hall all along the
line, and that is one reason why the
delegates here figure he wants the Re-
publicans 10 go it alone" on the Court
Of Appeals nominations.
1T is a great mystery To me" said
Mr.. Barnes tonight, that the Progress
sive convention at Syracuse made no
mention Of the iniquitics Of Tammany
in it's platform. They had time and
attention for almost every other sub
...ct. Surely they couldn't have over
5ksd the absolutely inefficient and
corrupt government the Empire State
has had in the last two years. Yet
they failed to give it any time and
attention. This seems inexplicable. in
view Of their protestations that they
want 10 reform the world. Here was
an opportunity 70 their hand. why
didn't they take it?"
The convention schedule for to-mor-
row contains only the temporary or
ganization of the convention, the de-
livery Of the temporary chairman's
speech and the appointment Of COM
mittees. Thursday will be given over
to the speech of Senator Bracket. per-
manent chairman. and committee re-
ports: that Is, platform discussion. Fri
DAY is set aside for nominations, and
there is Just possibility that a pro-
longed fight would throw adjournment
over until Saturday II so. there would
be sad and disappointed lot OF dele

Old.Timers Miss a Boss.

The siateless. bossless convention Is
getting on the nerves Of the old-trn-
ers. They have been going around to-
day with long faces, complaining that
nobody knew anything and that there
was no bosss cottage where man
could go and get information, even if
II came in the form Of orders. Most Of
them have been so used TO having their
political thinking done for them for
years that it hurts when they have to
do something resembling political
thinking for themselves.
To relieve this situation a group Of
philanthropic leaders is going to as
semble tomorrow 10 act as an infor-
nal and self constituted steering COM
mittee to try 10 bring order out of the
chaos.
TITS all right not 10 have a boss.
said one Of them, in explaining this
move, but it's necessary for somebody
to take the responsibility of suggesting
conditions. 4 few of the leaders be-
lieve this thing has drifted far enough
and have begun TO get down to con-
sideratiou of a slate
State Chairman Barnes won't be in
this group. The New York men, Par
sons and KOenig: Greiner and Daniels,
Of Buffalo; Hendricks, of Syracuse;
Aldrich, Of Rochester, and some Of the
younger men Of the party, like Pose. Of
Newburg, and Kennel. Of Elmira, will
talk things over. They probably won't
get very far away from the Judgment
Of Senator Root when they do their de-
Gliding on their unofficial and tentative
slate

As to the Faculty,

Editor the Missourian: The faculty
of the University of Missouri regards
the students of Missouri's greatest ed
ucational institution in about the
same way the faculty of the average
high school regards its students. 1t
seems to forget that the young women
and young men of the state who come
here to be educated are past the prep
school age.
1t proceeds to make rules and reg
ulations to cover every possible phase
of student activity. 1t is more prolific
in laws and provisions than any Kan
sas state legislature in it's most in
spired days. 1t says when, where and
how certain students can and cannot
eat.
1t would be mighty salutary thing
for the school as whole if broader

WINTER.

The sun started its course back
toward the equator from its farthest
point in the ecliptic Saturday. As
the great fiery ball slowly swings
around in its orbit, the seasons come
and go. Saturday winter began.
But the seasons are not generally
looked upon as astronomical events.
Spring is planting time and the
fiower-blooming season. Summer is
outing time. 1t also brings the cy-
clones and excessive heat. Autumn
is harvest time and the school-begin-
ming period.
And winter-it brings to mind
large lakes of the ice over which
hundreds of laughing skaters glide,
hills covered with snow and valleys
piled high with the whiteness. Win
ter brings joy to the hunter; to every
young person who enjoys the vigor
of outdoor life.
Winter is here. Enjoy it.
