Parties and the Referendum.

Have you considered the im-
portance to your party and tits
candidates of adopting Amend
ment No. 1, the Initiative and
Referendum, as a party measure
at the coming primaries.
This measure carried in Cali
fornia, Colorado and Arkansas,
the last states to vote upon it,
by nearly four to one. The aver
age in all states voting on 1T is
nearly three to one. 1t is appar-
emily still more popular in Me-
braska. Will not such a measure,
counting as part of the party
ticket and having straight par
ty votes counted for it, strength
en the party just as a popular
candidate strengthens it?
Suppose your party voters
should neglect to endorse this
amendment at the primaries,
Then Straight party votes would
be counted against it at the cleo
tiOn. Your party would have its
campaign to make handicapped
by its opposition ito a measure
three-fourths of the people want.
To support the Initiative and
Referendum, as most of them
would do, members of the par
ty would have to scratch their
party ticket. They would have
to warn others mott to vote "a
straight ticket. Would that be
pheasant? Would it NOT be dis
astrOus to party success?
A little effort ON your part
will insure your party against
such a mishap. See that your pa
ty associates vote for Amendment
No. l at the primaries. That viii
put the parry right and save ID
a serious embarrassment in thi:
years campaign.

ROOSEVELT WINS
IN ILLINOIS.

The political surprise of Che
week is the result of the Illinois
primary election Tuesday, in
which Roosevelt carried the state
by over a hundred Thousand ma
jority, revised figures place the
total at $4,000. This is a sting
ing rebuke to Lorimerism in IL
linois, and places Colonel Roose-
welt on the map for the dresden
tial nomination in unmistakable
terms.
Congressman Mckinley and
Cannon were renominated, as
was also Governor Deneen. If
Mckinley and Cannon go to MAJ
tionaI %cOnventio they will have
to- favor Roosevelt, as both their
districts overwhelmingly voted
for the colonel.
Lawrence Y. Sherman was the
choice for United States senator
and Cullom will undoubtedly be
retired.

Referring to the day, District At

More than $1,000 worth OF presents

OF the city through the efforts of The

Two thousand children-one-third
of the number of poor children regis
tered with the Associated Charities
were presented with gifts.
Hundreds OF others. including many
grown-ups, were presented with
clothes, by persons to whom The
Times Forgotten club furnished
names.
This summarizes the work OF the
Forgotten club the first year that II
has been under the auspices OF Tie

complished through the kindness and
good Offices OF more than 900 people
who donated either cash or preseats
for distribution by the committee In
charge of the work. The credit be-
longs to them. A glimpse into the
homes where their gifts were placed
would more than repay them for their
kindnesses and, in some instances.
