The first organization to make formal
application to appear before the COM
mittee on resolutions of the convention
is the National Woman Suffrage organi-
zation, which has been granted hear
ing and will ask for suffrage plank in
the Republican platform. The only other
organization is the Navy league, which
will send committee of %, headed by
its president, Robert NJ. Thompson, to
ask for a plank for the enlargement of
the navy.
According to Mr.. Hilles, there seems
little probability that the Republicans
and Progressives will re-unite and NOM
mate Theodore Roosevelt for president.
Mr.. Hilles is even of the opinion that
If an ABLE man is nominated, Roose-
welt might not find it NECESSARY to
run.
All of which is interesting to a mere
outsider who has not been taken into
the inner circle and knows of no one
but Justice Hughes as an alternative:
This is the most critical nomination
which the Republicans have been
obliged to make for many years, and
success win depend, not so much upon
their platform which, we fancy, is
foregone conclusion, as upon the par
ticular man they choose to carry it out.
''Why should the people change their
government" asked Mr.. Roosevelt In
Detroit, "if they are merely to change
slightly the degree of unpreparedness!
WHY. indeed?

too whippy and unreliable. There
are only a select few who can rely
on getting OF a safe drive with a
shaft that forms bow at the apex
OF the backward swing. II Is al

Miss Mildred played the ukulele for
duets with her sister, and it was
greatly enjoyed.
Miss Ellen Stripping gave vocal
solo, Puppy Love-" and was assisted
in the chorus by bevy of girls and
boys. The girls were lovely in crepe
paper costumes.
Poppy Time in Old Japan" was one
of the prettiest songs given. The
chorus wore japanese kimonas and
wide sashes, chrysanthemums and
other symbols of old Japan.
Mr.. Conan (Mr. Lucas) sang a
beautiful solo. Miss Downs sang
beautifully. Miss Gertie Peyser was
the accompanist, and she performed
her arduous duties splendidly and
gracefully. She was assisted by men,
bers of Needham's orchestra.
The receipts of the performance
amounted to nearly $500. For the
first time in the history of amateur
performances in Ocala the boxes of
the theater were sold out. The mem
bers of the Woman's Club are delight
ed with the success attained, and are
high in their praise of Mrs. Staley.
