WOMEN GIVE STREET TALKS
Suffragettes Seek to Convert PopuIace

Washington, Aug. 4.-Having storm
ed the senate, the suffragists, who are
here from all parts of the country,
now have decided to lay siege to
Washington.
The automobiles in which the cru
saders travelled here lie idle in their
garages while the women are engaged
in holding street meetings in the hope
of converting the populace of the capt
tai to their cause. Miss Helen Todd
of Chicago and San Francisco, Miss
jeanette Rankin OF California, Mrs.
Glenower Evans of Boston and other
leaders are holding both day and eve
ming meetings on the street corners.
The heavy rains and disagreeable
weather of the last few days SO far
have failed to dampen the women's

Nomination.

New York, Aug. 4.-As an after.
math of the action of the fusion com
mittee in agreeing to put forward
John p. Mitchell as the antiTammany
candidate for mayor there arose the
question as to whether all three po-
litical divisions-Republican, Progress
sive and Independent Democratic
represented in the committee, would
stand by the action taken.
The decision of the committee in
regard to the nomination In behalf OF
the three divisions is actually only a

ACTION SIMPLY =,
A PRECAUTION
Fund for Refugees Not Part
Of Mexican Policy.
ATTITUDE IS UNCHANGED

Administration Still Determined to
Adhere to Its Course of Noninter-
ference in the Affairs Of the Repub-
lie to the South.
Washington, Aug. 4.-Secretary Bry-
an vigorously disclaimed that his re-
quest to congress to appropriate $780,
600 for bringing destitute Americans
out of Mexico had any connection
with any policy the administration
may evolve in dealing with the Mexi-
can situation.
"In furnishing aid to any INDECENT
person desiring to leave Mexico the
government is simply doing what it
does at any time when American lives
are in danger by insurrection and
there is no reason why anybody should
attempt to misconstrue it" he said.
Secretary Bryan's request was gen.
orally interpreted as one step in the
administrators plan for dealing with
the Mexican problem.
Far from being regarded a prelimi-
nary to Intervention, which President
Wilson has told friends on various
occasions is out of the questionable
request for funds is really thought to
be the forerunner of a policy of non
interference.
Claims viii Cover Loss.
From the first the president has be.
lieved that in crises in turbulent re.
publics the single solicitude of the
American government should be the
protection of lives and property.
Should the administration here adopt
a policy of noninterference it might
we'll refrain from action with respect
to the destruction of property on the
ground that claims for damages will
under international law eventually
cover the losses.
In any crisis Americans of Mexico,
upon warning, would easily be able to
fee the country, but dangers always
have beset those who, through lack
OF funds, could not make the journey
promptly. To meet such an emer-
gency the present request for an APP
preparation is directed.
The administration, while hopeful
that peace negotiations may bring the
two factions to a suspension of hos
tilities, realizes that with the resig-
nation of Huerta the desire to obtain
funds to leave Mexico is a precau.
tionary measure.

sary majority among the eighty-eight

committee has municipal economy as
its corner stone. Other issues are

what would be the attitude OF the

which he was banished five years ago.
The Taft administration not only ap-
proved of Castro's exile from Vene-
zuela, but sought by every means, al.
though without success, to prevent
him from landing in this country last
winter. Officials realize that Castro's
personal direction of the insurrection
will make the movement far more for

Greenwood,

1t was long ago that some one remark
ed, "There is only one thing constant
and that is change" and verify it is all
true. But of course we can speak OF
only a very few of them to-day.
Then town meeting was pending and
divers persons were on the anxious seat
to know whether they would get good
lucrative Office or get turned down; now
they know all about 1t, and many OF
them were destined to go home very
much disappointed, poor fellows!
Aud then, to mention one more event,
William II. Taft was president of the
United States, aud now he is only pri'
vate citizen much like the rest Of US,
only larger in girth. How are the mighty
fallen.
To mention our town meeting, 1t was
very quiet and a large amount of money
was appropriated for different purposes;
$500 90 going to build an iron bridge
over the Little Androscoggin at Curtis
crossing, more than a mile up stream
from the one built in 1911.
This has been a remarkable winter on
account of the scarcity of snow; the

been this winter.
Ransom Cole is now saving his birch
into spool stock, and his son Daniel is
hauling it to the Dearborn mill over the
two ponds; and says the shedding never
was better.
No one is expecting the proverbial six
weeks shedding this month, but all are
sure of one week of it., and hope the
weather maker will give them still more.
