dacies Of Congressman A. p. Gardner,

washburn for deleRates-at-largo 70
the Republican convention from
Massachusetts 10 construed by pol
iticians in Washington to be the nrst
positive aggressive movement for the
nomination OF Theodore Roosevelt for
President by the convention.
These politicians see in the an

movement for the nomination Of the
former President. which they think
will soon become nationwide.
we are candidates for delegateS-at-
large from Massachusetts, TO the Re-
publican national convention" says the
announcement.
Straight To Point.
I'VE are tired of vague statements
and beating about the bush. We pro-
pose to 20 straight to the point and
give everyone a chance to know for
what he is voting in the primaries. We
want a convention set up for dark
horses. We want Roosevelt for Presi-
dent" The announcement is signed by
the four candidates.
Three of the four candidates on this
Roosevelt ticket have at various times
been candidates for governor OF Massa-
chusetts. The ticket is significant In
that Il represents a coalition OF former
divergent elements Of the party In Mas
sechusetts.
Politicians favorable TO Colonel Roose-
welt regard this coalition as forerun-
ner of other similar amalgamations In
the Republican party throughout the
country in the near future. The COM
bination Of the political elements In the
personnel OF the ticket announced have
not only been out OF accord heretofore
but in two or three instances have been
actually antagonistic.

an of individual Independence and repre-
sents an element of tremendous strength
and influence In his State. Mr.. Bird has

ardor. Now he and Mr.. Bird. who
were rival candidates for governor
OF Massachusetts, in 1913 have Joined
in .nstituting the movement for Col
onel Roosevelt. Senator Washburn

This is perfectly possible.
For some quite incomprehensible
reason. all people assume that all
women employed by newspapers are
society editors, or that they were.
or are going to be.
AS a matter OF fact it more than
often in this day and age happens
that newspaper women Of repute have
never written one line of society.
The writer of this article is one of
the EXAMPLES.
The statement. therefore. that Miss
Weiman and Mrs. Pollock were So

the dramatic section Of the Sunday

and the pretty picture which tho
writer painted OF the remarkable
case of harmony between two society
editors is herewith wiped out.
