Under Prof. Haseman the glee
club has developed into the best orga-
nization of its kind in the state. and
their harmony singing as we'll as the
selections by individual members is
all that could bew ished for. There
was just enough comedy intermingled
in the program TO keep the audience
n good humor
The work of the three Sons of Jer-
eselum' is deserving of special men
ton and acts none better can be seen
on the 0rpheum circuit every day In
the week. Romeo and Juliet" was
rich in comedy and was heartily en-
ioyed by the audience.
After the performance the floor was
cleared and dancing INDUCED in till a

The members of the glee club ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased Nth the reception given them
here and declare that the audience
was one of the best that they have

Stand-Patters Favor Root
To Lead the Republicans

it would be wise if a progressive Re
publican "of the type of Cummins'
were named, but practically all take
it for granted that the party managers
will not name a progressive of the
type of Cummins, but will name some
one of the pronounced standpat order
and that somebody they believe to
be Root.
1t is the idea of the party managers
that Root embodics the policies of the
Republican party as no other candi-
date does. He is a conservative whose
long public career has been uniformly
consistent with the ideals of the stand
pat Republican conservative. He it
was who presided at the Chicago con-
vention, where Taft received his second
nomination. He was secretary of war
and secretary Of state in Rooscvclt's
cabinet. He has served one term Of
six years in the United States Senate,

during which term he voted regularly
with the high tariff conservative wing
Of the Senate. Before entering public
life Root was in active law practice
in New York City. He became well
known in connection with his work IN
organizing the Tobacco Trust and
other large corporations. lie is at
present the presiding officer of the
convention engaged in revising the
constitution of the State of New York.
Those who favor Root believe he
would be regarded as a safe man to
handle the foreign affairs of the gov
elnment, having been ripcncd by hlS
experience rs secretary of state and in
public life including his trip to South
American countries as special com
mereia envoy from the United States.
Root faVors increases in the army
and navy and he is further approved
as man in whom big business could
have unbounded confidence. The only
doubt raised in connection with the
Root endorsement arises from the fac
that he is 10 years Of age and would
, he - when he entered the White
House. Root has declared himself to
be too old to undertake the burden OF
the presidential campaign and the
strain of the presidential office II
elected. On the other hand, those who
favor Root point to the fact that he
is in perfect vigor and health and, in
fact, looks fifteen years younger than
his age.
The Root boosters are making some
capital of the fact that Roosevelt is
quoted as saying he would favor Root
as against Wilson, providing Root
stood on IA platform Of adequate mill
tary preparedness, with Wilson repre-
senting the paeificists. Whether Will
sons stand in the matter Of the Lusi-
tania has changed this situation is a
matter of conjecture ROoseVelt's
quoted uttcrance was made before the
note to Germany on the Lusitania in
cident, and Wilson is now much more
popular with the militarists of this
country than he was at that time.
The Republican convention is to be
of the good, old fashioned trade-in-
the-back room variety. "Favorite
sons are to bring in the delegations
from their respective states, and the
nomination is to he the result of a
dicker among the leaders and dele
gates after they arrive. Fairbanks
for instance, will come to the conven
tion as the favorte son candidate of
the Indiana delegation. Sherman or
Mann will have Illinois. William Al
den Smith will have Michigan. Bur
ton or HcrIick will have Ohio Knox
will be the Pennsylvania favorite son
Borah will have the little delegation
from Idaho, with. possibly others
Cummins will represent Iowa; Week.
will have the Massachusetts, dclcga
tion; Root Will be backed by New
York and possibly other states The
Republican national committee viii
probably control the Republican dele
gates from the Southern states anC
the latter will play a large part il
whatever trade is agreed upon by tho
leaders.
In the face of these plans there /,
less talk Of pros apective amalgamatior
or working harmony between the old
line Republicans and the Progressive.
The latter are becoming more disposed
every day to 90 ahead with their owl
convention and name their own can.

in every respect and played a fast,

team had at one time been a star, but
the wise ones feared that the old vets

and local fans are confident that with
steady practice and training Americas
will have as nifty team as any city,
in the state can boast.
While the Albany boys were out

any time, they played a clean, scrappy
game. They were simply outclassed,
outplayed and outgeneraled.
The locals are preparing for their
