Ask Politicians To Aid

Report will be made at the regular
meeting of the Central Labor Union this
evening of the committee appointed to
appeal to both political parties against
Director Ralph, of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing.
1t probably will be announced that
little was effected at Chicago where
letters and kilograms we're sent.
The plan is to make appeal now to
individual Republicans" said Secretary
John B. Colpoys, of the Central Labor
Union. this morning. for the appeal to
Chicago went out too late. The matter
will be carried straight to President
Taft. Labor interests will never quit
until a practical plate printer is at the
head of the bureau. The committee in
charge expects to make an oral argu-
ment to leading Democrats at Balu-

Mr.. Colpoys is himself a delegate to
the Democratic convention. Or at least
he is a member of the Costello delega-
ton which stands the best chance of
being seated among the rival District

The Plate Printer" charges Director
Ralph with having broken his word to
the printers of the bureau. winding up
its attack with these words:

By THEODORE TILLER.

BALTIMORE, June 4.-A politician
who has been to many Democratic con-
ventlons asserts that whiskers indicate
what a convention will do. He ex-
pressed great satisfaction that most OF
the delegates to the Baltimore conven-
ton are devoid of hirsute adornment. 1t
BODIES well for the party, according to
this expert on politics and alfalfa.

What have whiskers to do with the
nomination."
THE absence of hairy faces" he ex-
planned, shows that the party is get
ting sane again. that young blood is
coming In to replace the old. At the old
time conventions the delegates with
whiskers was the rule rather than the
exception. The 1896 convention was
composed in large part OF men whose
faces needed moving, and the radical
element Of the party played the deuce.
About me today l see few struggling
boards. Jim Ham Lewis. of course,
keeps his strangle hold on the pink
ones, but then he's different and every
body makes exceptions for Jim Ham.
The whiskers are passing. glory be,
and there may be hope for the party
yet.''
He was right about it. Seven hundred
people were crowded about the hotel
lobby, and only ten OF the number had
cheated the barber to any great extent.
Davis on Hand
Speaking of facial upholstering,
Uncle" Henry Gassaway Davis, who
has passed the fourscore mark in
years. is among those present in the
convention crowds. Mr. Davis wears the
same bunch of whiskers that saw vail
ant service in that memorable cam
paign wherein he sought to become pre-
siding officer OF the Senate. They are
short, neatly cropped and white mov-
ing in unison with his neither jaw

lightning should strike him, nobody

Redfield's Burnsides.
And while one Is on the subject, turn
moment to the Honorable William C.
Redfield, member of Congress from
New York, who has shied his hat into
the ring as a Vice Presidential possi-
bility. Sunny Jim" Sherman. as every
| one knows, flirts with a modest burn

| sides habit to excess. The wavy, au-
burn hairs start waveringly down his
| cheeks, growing bolder as they descend,
until they branch off at tangent three
and a half inches beneath the lobe OF

This gives, Mr.. Redfeld brisk ener-
getic appearance, calculated to impress

Congressman is in earnest about the
