When the Controller heard what Chair

factor in local elections. He also said he

that he believed in hon-partlsanship IN

Mr. Prendergast added that he was in
favor OF that man for Mayor who would
poll the largest possible vote against

relied upon to use the municipal govern
ment for partisan purposes whenever 1t
had the opportunity. He said he con-
sidered. President McAneny as the type
Of man around whom ell the elements OPP
posed to Tammany might rally with con-

some of the friends OF Borough Presi-

Washington, Nov. S,-President Taft VIII
have the support of practically every Re
publican and OF those waverers who went
down to defeat through enlistment In the
Bull Moose movement in his effort to re-
organize and strengthen the Republican
party. Mr.. Taft is satisfied that the cam
paign Just closed has been productive or
much good, and that It will serve more
than anything else to bring about re-
united and more strongly organized Re-
pubicanism.
The President will not be alone In work
ing out this important task for he has
been promised the enthusiastic support OF
thousands of, Republicans and so-called
Progressives.
This evening Chairman Hllles and Sen
ator Crane were dinner guests at the
White House The two most important
subjects discussed were the Vice-Presl-
dency and the plans to organize a ma
uonal Republican club.
No Cabinet designations.
Reports Of the contemplated resignation
OF several OF the Cabinet members before
March have been widely circulated. but
each OF the Presidents official family who
called at the White House to-day denied
them. Secretary Wilson, who has been
head of the Department Of Agriculture
since March 4. 1897. will finish his sixteen
years OF service under Republican adj
mlnistratIons on March 4. 1913, and will
then retire to private life. Mr.. Wilson Is
past seventy-seven, and feels that he has
earned rest.
Most of the Cabinet officers. who are
lawyers, will resume the practice Of law
on their retirement from the Cabinet next
March Attorney General Wickersham
will return TO his lucrative practice In
New York. and Secretary Nagel will
again take up his law work in Missouri.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has had a
great many offers to go with large bust
ness concerns. but he will not give up his
work as head of the Postotflce Depart
ment until March 4, 1913.
, Interest is manifested In Washington in
the probable choice Of the Republican
National Committee for Vice-President.
The report current In the capital this
evening is that the honor will be offered
TO some one from one Of the states giving
It's electoral vote to the President. Much
opposition is beginning to materialize
against the selection OF Governor Hadley
OF Missouri. the chief objection being
the fact that the Missouri Governor not
only refused the honor al Chicago but re-
malned ION the fence" until a short time
before the election, when he announced
that he would not follow Roosevelt out of

Pretty Heavy Umbrellas.

The great objection to umbrellas 100
years ago was their weight, and when
It is stated as matter Of fact that the
very smallest umbrella then weighed
no less than three and half pounds It
will probably be admitted that the OBJ
lection was a justifable one. Instead
of the thin rainproOf fabrics which
now form the covering Of umbrellas
nothing better was known than leather
or oiIcloth. The ribs were Of wood or
whalebone, and such thing as a steel
rod was, Of course, unknown. The
stick was usually of heavy oak. In
those days, too, many umbrellas had
the additional incumbrance Of feathers
over the top on the theory Of shed
ding water of a ducks back" But
the oilcloth and leather umbrellas, not
wHhstanding the feathers, were apt q
leak.
