In the selection of the advisory

President Taft conferred today with
Chairman Hiles, Representative Nc
kinley, Representative Burke Of
South Dakota and others over the
question of whether an elector chosen
on the republican ticket could vote in
the electoral college for Roosevelt,
running on third party ticket.
In South Dakota the state conven-
tion already had named Roosevelt
men on the republican ticket. Similar
action is expected in other states.
The president and Chairman Hilles
are expected to concentrate their at
tention on this question.
THE cardinal plank in the bull
moose platform" said Representative
Burke ''is thou shalt not steal. but
the first thing that the party did in
my state was to steal the electoral
Vote. The state committee chose for
electors men who have declared for
Roosevelt but they will go on the
republican ticket. If they are elected
under the republican banner they ex-
pect to vote for a man who has de-
serted the old party and is making

Everyone knows what an oak tree is. Everyone has

under when he was kid in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Mary will describe the big oak she sat under outside of
Harrisburg Pennsylvania, that afternoon
when Bill asked her to be his wife Andrew will de-
scribe the big oak that stood in the back yard of the old
family home in Dubuque. And Susan will describe the
big oak the dear old campus at dear old Nassar.
And it will go. Each will describe oak but diff

to be. And the reader frequently isn't able to lay
the book down until he has finished it. You know
the kind of novel | mean,-the three-hundred-and-
fifteen-page kind where you don't discover the fact
that Bruno Rumhauser is really other than the
Duke de Velours until you get to the second last
graph of the last chapter the kind where you learn that
you have been three hundred and fourteen pages
wrong in your deductions to who it was who muir
dered the wealthy Hubert Van Swag, and where you
don't find out until you get to the last line on the last
page-just above the "Finis"-that Hubert wasn't
murdered after ALL but that he met his death naturally
by falling and hitting his head against the sharp corner
of the mante in the library Hubert always meets his
death in the library; in the Kitchen the cellar
the pantry 1t is this last paragraph device that
makes so many novels of this kind attractive to the
great number of readers who go IN for that sort OF
thing
Now, suppose the novel in print is good one When
the dramast takes it in hand and seeks to place it back

with the necessity of removing the one big thing the
