Mr.. ROOT ATTACKS
BOSS GOVERN MENT
Domination Causes Sullen and Long
Continued Resentment Among
Masses.
HE POINTS TO THE SOLUTION

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 31.-From
the floor of the constitutional oonven-
ton yesterday President Elihu Root
condemned the system of "bossism"
and invisible government, which
he said to his knowledge has domi-
mated New York for forty years, and
pleaded that the people be armed
with the short ballot that they may
establish their own rule. 1t is all
wrong, he declared, that any other
rule should exist.
This domination" Mr.. Root de-
clared in part, has caused a deep
and sullen and long continued re-
sentiment among the people at being
governed by men not of their choos-
ing. They demand change. The
short ballot plan is a solution, or at
least it may be the first step that
will work out a solution.

of that intangible something We call
style that the woman who misses a
single millinery opening will miss so
much of originality and charm. One
thing all may be certain of-the hats

really no limitations in the matter of

At one establishment with a national
reputation for elegance-due to its
popularity with winter visitors from

for novelty, and the time honored pic
