! Mrs. Frances King Sears will de-
liver a political. otherwise partisan,
address at the WOmen's Club House,
this Friday) evening. Mrs. Sears is
reported to be most entertaining
speaker, aad her speech at the ban
quet of the State Republican Com

SO great that it was impossible to

their removal. root and branch.
Probably q more potent reason was
to afford an upohstruoted view OF the
