II the United States really wanted

according TO Meyer London's way Of
thinking, would be to free the 10000
600 inhabitants OF the Philippine ISL

To protect the islands, he said, against
neighboring nations would require r.
greater navy than any nation possesses.
The s40O0O,O0O profit from the ISL
ands is eaten up each year by main
tanning an army there. Mr.. London told
an audience in the auditorium of Public
School g., at Hester and Essex streets,
yesterday.
~ wonder II the President, in his
heart. is not in favor of universal
peace said Mr.. London. Things look
a little brighter this morning, but We
do not know what the dictionary may
provide for him by tomorrow. I do
not believe VIC shall have war with
Mexico. but ] am opposed TO sending
an army there TO chase a bandit who
may be hiding in a lodging house in
Austin. Tex"
Asked his opinion Of the Irish up
rising, during the question period, Mr..
London said: at is bad enough TO be

TWO LEADERS GAINED
BY REPUBLICANS
Charles F. Murphy Gets One OF
Districts All to Himself
Others Lose Places.

Under the new Aldermanc appor-
tionment, as result OF the bill signed
last week by Governor Whitman, Re-
publican and Democratic leaders IN the
city have worked out plan which
practically amounts 20 the old ward
system in vogue thirty years ago. Tho
reorganization under the Aldermanic
apportionment. instead OF the present
Assembly district plan, will take care
of the old leaders, whose districts were
wiped out under the Assembly reappor-
tionment. The Republicans gain two
leaders under the new arrangement.
At present there are thirty-one Re-
publican district leaders-one for each
Assembly district The Democrats
have three additional leaders, as there
are now dual leaderships in the 4th,
9th and 18th Assembly districts. The
Republicans will have these in several
districts under the reorganization plan,
which will be put into effect at district
meetings 10 be held May 81.
No Date for Tammany Meeting.
Under the Aldermanic apportionment
there will be twenty-seven districts in
Manhattan; under the legislative ap-
portionment, soon TO become effective,
Manhattan will have only twenty-three
Assembly districts. The borough, un-
der the new layout, will have nine Sen
i 70 Aaofr fs.f
will have three Aldermanic districts.
Under the legislative apportionment,
some of the Democratic Senate dis
tricts will get only two Assemblymen,
while the Republican districts in each
case will have three Assemblymen.
Tammany has not yet fixed a date
for county committee meeting TO
change TO the Aldermanic district basis,
but action will be taken shortly after
the Republicans put their change
through, next week. Down in the new
10Th Senate District no less :han six
Tammany leaders are thrown into
three Of the new Aldermanic districts.
In the new 18th Senate District
there will be no trouble. Five other
leaders are thrown into the new l4th
Senate District. which means two joint
leaderships there. Charles +. Murphy
will have one of the new Aldermanic
districts all to himself. Five more
leaders are thrown together IN the
new 18th Senate District, 10 be divided
among three Aldermanic districts. In
the 18th Senate District the three
leaders will retain their places. In
the 18th Senate District there will
have to be doubling up. as there are
only three OF the new Aldermanic dis
tricts. In the new 18th Senate DIS
trict the three leaders will have three
Aldermanic districts. There may be
trouble in adjusting matters. here
There are four Tammany leaders IN
the new 10th Senate District, with
only three Aldermsnic districts. In
the new 2Cth Senate District, on Wash
ington Heights, there are three new
Aldermanic districts, with only one
Tammany leader.
Republican Problem Simpler.
On the Republican side the problem
is somewhat simpler, because of the

cede that Justice Hughes is in the lead,
the uncertainty that has surrounded
his candidacy has led them TO believe
that when the convention meets Colo
mel Roosevelt will be in a far better
position with the delegates. The Colo
mel has been coming strong in the last
few days, his speech at Detroit bring
ing many influential supporters 70 him.
The news from Chicago that the Pro
Cressive Convention will begin ballot
ing for candidates on Friday Of conven-
ton week fits into the plans which the
"old guard has mapped out for the
Republican Convention. They, too, ex-
peet the balloting TO begin on Friday,
SO that both conventions will be Sc
lecting candidates at the same time.
"Old guard" leaders are not so sure
now that Colonel Roosevelt will he
asked 20 write the Americanism and
preparedness plsnks in the Republican
platform. They agree, however. that
when the platform is given TO the pub.
lie no one will suspect that the Colonel
did not have hand in IT. IL is their
intention, so they say. to prepare a
platform that will meet the approval
Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
