the representation of southern states In

primary election of delegates in different
states be sanctioned. and that the ma
tional committeeman shall retire imme-
diately when new members are elected,

NOMINATION OF ROOT.

The remarkable speech on the
currency question delivered by SEN
ator Root today stamps him as the
ablest advocate of sound economic
and financial doctrines in this coun-
try. His wonderful powers of an
alyzing the fundamental problems
that lie at the foundation of our
governmental structure were never
more marked than today. His dis
cussion of the financial bill was
brilliant, interesting and unanSwer-
able.
Unless the republican party
nominates Senator Root as its next
candidate for the presidency OF the
United States it will miss the great
est opportunity that has ever pre-
sented itself to that party. SEN
ator Gallinger.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 13.-The
bill of exceptions in the trial of F. Drew
Caminetti, convicted in the United States
district court on charge of violating the
federal white slave act, was formally

evidence was produced to show that his
violation of the law was for gain, and
that the Mann law was intended to deal
with commercialized vice. 1t is also set
forth that Judge Van Fleet erred in his

Was Taken UP With Wilson.

The subject was also brought quite in
formally to the consideration of President
Wilson. who said 1t would give the gov
ernment and the people of the United
States a great deal of pleasure to enter
tain President and Nine. Poincare.
The question was raised whether Pres
ident Wilson could promise to pay re-
turn visit to France, and President Will
son said he saw no likelihood of being
able to do so.
No official discussion of this interesting
suggestion has taken place, and it re-
mains for the present under private con-
sideratiCn.
1t is felt. however, at the Palace of
the Llysee that such an exchange of
visits might be an admirable way Of
showing the unity of feeling and the
good will existing between the two re-
puolics in somewhat the same way as
the community of interests between mon
arches is often indicated by visits OF
royal personages.
