SEES DEVOTION TO FADs

President Taft last night heard Senator
Bailey Of Texas denounce Theodore
Roosevelt's third term ambitions and
saw 600 members Of the University Club
rise to their feet from a score Of banquet
tables in the New Willard Hotel and
stand several minutes applauding the ut
terance.
Senator Bailey declared that III the
present President is not a good enough
republican to succeed himself he must
be a good enough democrat to do SC" )"
He jokingy invited the President in
case Of failure at the Chicago conven-
ton to enter the democratic party.
The President confined his speech to
the value Of university training. He
laughingly asked Senator Bailey to tell
him which branch of the democratic
party he would be received in, but made
no other political reference. except to
plause of political remarks.
Senator Bailey began his speech with
a defense of the Constitution. without
intending to be offensive" he said. I
think that George Washington and Alex
ander Hamilton and James Madison were
better qualified to establish government
| than Bob La Toilette or Bob Owen:
He didn't say anything about Theo-
dOre, broke In voice. A gaze OK
laughter swept the room.
Senator Bailey said that university men
had a distinct duty to perform in edu-
eating the country against adverse politi-
cal tendencies. He suggested that 1t
would be well to teach the democratic
party 1.-The difference between a demo-
crat and a demagogue.
But men can be educated beyond their
ability continued the senator, 'and
that's what makes a mugwump. A man
is often educated beyond his capacity. as
when he says he does not mean to accept
another nomination and then tries to
make the people believe he didn't mean
what he said"

the council committee on charter and
city legislation, Saturday afternoon,
went back on its action and had a
report drawn up against the election
Corporation Counsel Lawson gave
verbal opinion that a special cleo
ton would be legal. but after second
consideration the aldermen did not
believe the council would be warrant
ed in mourning the cost. Mr.. Law
son also told the committee that
there is a possibility or the supreme
court sustaining the decision or Cir

the home rule act OF 1911, under the
authority OF which II is proposed TO
revise the charter.
A resolution had been previously
drawn up naming June 3 as the day
for nominating party candidates Tor
charter revision commissioners, June
s as registration day, and June IL as
the day for the special election. The
cost OF the primary was estimated at
$4,000; registration at $4,000, and the
election at $4,000. total OF $37 500.
The entire committee voted in favor
OF the resolution and some members
had departed when Chairman Lodge
and the remaining members began to
discuss the subject for second time.
Mr.. Lawson was brought back and
stated that only four months could be
saved by special election. The
members remaining then instructed
the secretary TO draw the committees
report against the election. 1t is
probable that the committee will get
together again before Tuesday night
and make final decision.
Mr.. Lawson informed the commit
tee that nominations for commission
