legality of the action Of the district

the prince came ashore surrounded by
a large retinue, and was permitted

such that he is under ban of ex-

more than he viii take from Mr.. VII.

worthy Of comment says the Hugo
Husonian Tho followers OF Mr..
Roosevelt maintain that they favor
reform, and wish to bring that about
at the earliest possible moment. They
contend that Mr. Wilson is a man OF
strong convictions. largely right on
matters Of government, but that, be-
ing emocrat, he can not hope to ac-
compllsh much II these people wish
reformation. In governmental affairs,

know that no other man can defeat the
present special privilege outfit 10

Those following Roosevelt understand
that the strong forces behind Mr.. TAFT
do not ever scatter their votes.
Mr. TAFT win be able to rally those
forces which wish a continuation OF
