REPUBLICAN PARTY DEAD.

No matter whether Taft or Roosc
welt is nominated or whether the CHI
cago convention turns to a compron-
Use candidate, thoughtful men, both in
and out of the party see in the present
struggle in the Windy City the death
of the Republican Party and although
the name may live the party such "a
il has been known since 1856 will be
no more. While Taft and Roosevelt
are two big figures of the convention,
they are simply figure heads, repro
scnting the two ideas which arc oppos.
ed to one another, namely the Conser-
vativc Republicans and the Radical
Republicans.
Every word of debate, every bit OF
strategy for votes every deal with del
cgatcs, every speech, every notion
every vote in this convention, both on
Tuesday and on Wednesday, proved
the contention. Nominally all were
either Taft or oRosevelt demonstrat-
ions. Really they showed the strug-
gle between the conservatives and the
radicals in the Republican party. Alb
soIutely they pointed to the disinteg-
ration of the Republican party as L;
has existed in the past.
It makes no difference whether they
succeed>in nominating Mr.. Taft in this
convention or whether Mr.. Roosevelt
is named by this convention or by q
boiling convention he organizes. II
MIR Taft is named, the Roosevelt par
tisans will make their protest on elect
ion day, and if Roosevelt is nominal
ed, the Taft men will do the same
thing, and if both arc named the issue
will be clean cut within the Republic
can party.
In addition, according to all predict
ions. the Republicans will receive a
blow in the coming November elect
ion that will practically wipe the par
tv off the map And how could it be
otherwise? For weeks past the fac
tions in the party have been calling
each other the vilest names. They are
held Up to the world in published and
official statements as cutthroats and
assassins, thieves and murderers, an
archists and revolutionaries. These
are the choice epithets no woandled
back and forth among members Of the
party that once proudly called itseli
the party of intelligence, and boosted
the blazon: EFT t. RULE" Wha'
other campaign material will the Dem
ocrats need than the deliberate char
acterization of leading Republican:

fury of party suicide seems to reign
in Chicago. Moderate men are howl
ed down. Extremists rage uncheck-
eve of national convention as the
ed. 1t is customary to speak of the
calm before the storm. At Chicago
it is the storm before the hurricane.
That the Republican ship will founder
in the blast is today undoubtedly the
opinion of nine-tenths of the sober
minded Republicans who read the
daily accounts of the proceedings
with disgust deepening into despair.

the close of the civil war, during one
of his bursts of enthusiasm in wes-

ed above.
Theodore Roosevelt, convinced that
he is eliminated as Presidential can

He will lead bolt from the Repub-

The time for his dramatic exit has
been set. 1t will be when the con-
vention adopts, as it will adopt, the
report of the committee on credentials
confirming in their titles the Taft del
egates seated by the national COM
mittee.
The seven hours wraugle over the
Roosevelt proposal to deprive the con-
testing delegates of voice in the Sc
lection of the members of the ere
dentials committee, and to exclude
them in block from voting on the re-
ports of the committee on the con-
tests. served to make three things
clear yesterday.
First, President Taft is increasing
" safe in his control of the conven-
ton.
Second. Roosevelt is no longer a SER
ious factor in the presidential con-
test.
Third. Governor Hadley is the most
popular figure in the Convention and
may loom up large on Friday when the
voting for the presidency begins.
The vote by which the Hadlcy prop
osition depriving the Taft men of the
votes of their contested delegates was
defeated stood 564 to SO. The vote
on Senator Roots election as tenn
porarv chairman, by which the Tai:
men came into control of the conven-
ton, was 55S to SOP.

Hcrald--Wilson, 2s2; Clark, 4O7

Herald-Wilson, 282; Clark, 40I;
Underwood, 80; Harmon, 81; Mar
shall, 80; Baldwin, IA; Burke, 10;
uncommitted, 1879; total, 1,O96.
Wilson, $50; Clark, 412;
Underwood, SO; Harmon, 81; Mar
shall, 80; Baldwin, Ia; Burke, 10;
uncommitted, 207; total, 1906.
It will thus be seen that Clark, who
is leading all competitors, is still 1877
votes short of a mere majority, and
$40 votes short Of the requisite two
thirds to nominate. Even if either
received all the uncommitted dele
gates he would yet lack from 112 to
242 delegates to insure him the hon
or. Underwood and Harmon have a
mere handful, compared to the total
of 731 votes requisite to nominate.
1t is significant thing that Clark
and Wilson, who are leading the field
easily, both have the endorsement of
Mr.. Bryan and are both supported by
those calling themselves progressives.
Yet even combining the vote Of Clark
and Wilson the total would be insuffic-
lent to nominate, being al votes short
of the required 731. Nor can it be
supposed or assumed that all of the
Clark and Wilson dlegates are pro
gressive or Bryan-controllcd men. On
the contrary, the Clark delegates arc
more often anti Wilson than pro-Clark
those from the Eastern
States.
Harmon has practically been elm
mated from the race and Underwood's
chances are not regarded as very
good.
Summing the situation up, it is ap-
parent that no candidate is near the
nomination and that it is going tn
require some great changes before
any one can be nominated. 1t is now
that Gaynor is being groom
ed as dark horse candidate, and a.
the opportune moment his name will
be sprung upon the convention. Gov.
Foss is also being spoken Of very frc-
qucntly as a dark horse.
Not since the nomination of Hora
ito Seymour in 1868 has it required
more than 5 ballots to nominate; then
more than five ballots to nominate and
then but once, and that in, 1896, when
VIM. J. Bryan was first named for the
honor. Bryan was then nominated on
the fifth ballot. Tilden, Hancock and
Cleveland, the first time, were nomin-
ated on the second ballot. Clevc-
lands second nomination was by az
anG his third on the frs
ballot. The second and third nomin-
atoms of Bryan and that of Parkc
were made on a single ballot.
The indications are that it will re-
uuire more ballots to nominate thu;
year than ever before since the .
ballots required to nominate Scymou2
in 1868. There is reason for TN"
stubborn competition this year: Thc
prospect Of the election of Demo
cratic President is so alluring tina
many covet the honor, whereas on ser-
eral occasions the nomination has gon"
begging.

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

The latest estimates Of the relative
strength of the various avowed and
suggested aspirants for the Democrat

that no one has even majority, not

by the newspaper partisans of either
Wilson or Clark are too much tinted
by prejudice to be accepted as reliable

W0MEN's LEAP YEAR RIGHTS
In Scotland Years Ago They Were Rec
ognixed az Real, and Well De-
fined by Law.

Ancient, indeed, are the prerogatives
that are accorded to women in leap
year. They are so old that none can
tell just how or when they originated.
However, the ancient Scottish parlia.
ment gives us a date as we'll as a law
upon which to hang the right of wom-
en- to take the initiative in leap year,
as convention forbids them to do in
other years.
In the year 1928 this body passed a
law which, in its quaint old English,
expressly conferred on womankind the
right to propose marriage in leap year.
Here is the law, just as it was written
in the parliamentary records:
"Ordonit that during We reign of her
maist blessed Majestic, ilka maiden,
ladee Of bath high and lowe estait,.
shale haze libertie to speak We man she
likes. Gif he refuses to tax hir to bee
his wyf, he shale be mulct in We sum
of ane hundridty pundes, or less. as
his estait may bee, except and alwais
gif he can make 1t appeare that he is
betrothit to another woman, then he
shale be free"

years the pioneers of lake navigation who had

realize the magnitude of vessels around six hun
dred feet in length and with carrying capacity
of nine thousand to ten thousand tons And, most

The ships OF the Great Lakes, alike to their
courterparts on salt water, have been gradually
growing in size years have gone by. However
the depth of certain channels connecting the lakes

bility of the lengthening process going indeh-
nitely it appears likely to do in the case of
ocean-going craft. The 1,000-foot steamer which
is already Gin sight" in the evolution of trans-At-
lantic navigation will probably never have a par

likely that present-day lake cargo ships come
pretty near representing maximum, although
there is no doubt that Great Lake passenger
ships will go on increasing in size and luxury as
more and more people come to realize that trip
"up the lakes" or down the lakes" has variety
and fascination not equalled by voyage across
the Atlantic.
The freighters of the Great Lakes are without
