believe that President Wilson is driv-
ing his own party to the championship
of that parlor Bolshevism which is
called internationalism and is hand
ing to the Republican party the most
majestic issue it has had since the
civil war
Senate leaders say they have rec
ognized this fact for some time and
that Democratic leaders also are be-
ginning to realize II, with the situation
growing more obvious daily as a result
of the tremendous events that are
engaging the attention of Congress
and the people.
Democratic Senators of similar pa
triotism to the Republicans who have
voiced this belief have carefully
avoided airing their views. They are
afraid TO talk. their colleagues as.
dent Wilson has been known to pun
ish men for talking.
Called sociaIistic Dream.
1t is the deliberate opinion of mer

Said Mr.. Borah earnestly:
1T Is not matter for partisan
politics at all. 1t is not Republican
necessarily. The peril is one for
every man who loves his country

1t is a thing to make man who

But we have got 10 fight. We nave
got to go to the country and make

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Representa-

IN the next Congress when 1t is or
YaniKed. This was assured tonight
when the Republican members of the
next House, assembled in caucus, NOM
mated Gillett over Representatives
James r. Mann of Illinois and Philip
Campbell Of Kansas.
The first ballot gave Mr.. Gillett 1873
votes, Mann 60. Campbell 13, Repre-
sentative Esch of Wisconsin 4 and
Representative Mondell of Wyoming /.
Immediately after the count was
made and announced to the caucus
Representative Mann moved to make
the nomination of Mr.. Gillett unani-
nous and this was done at once.
Had all the Republican members Of
the next House been present tonight
l20 votes would have been necessary
10 nominate. However, with the can
didates themselves not voting and with
absentees, only 225 votes were re-
corded in all, and 113 would have been
sufficient. Mr.. Gillett therefore had a
margin Of % votes which he did not
actually need.

imatiOns and variations, according

stance should be almost the same
for every individual, but not mathe-
matically exact The whole idea Of

a good stroke might be called a
musical phrase in which mum Der
OF notes have been used to produce
the complete harmony.
In driving my stance is approx
imateiy square. Ny left toe is about
an inch further back of the line Of

take a provisional stance, however
and extend my arms at ease to full
length. But ! always am very care

Of muscle Then I follow with an
adjustment OF my feet for comfort
and a sense OF ease and a prepare
ratory wiggle for relaxation The
whole idea in this IS TO put the body
in "A position OF ease and freedom
from any train in order TO give
rhythm 10 the swing.
II you will keep these ideas in
mind l am sure you will find them
helpful in lettering your game. A
comfortable stance is a very i'm
portant part of golf. But the idea
which many golfers have that it is
a rigid inhexible thing from which
no variation is permissible is wrong.
Ny advice then is: Decide upon
your stance, approximately square
for full shots. and open the half or
quarter Adjust your feet a little
for comfort as you make your pre-
liminary swing.
The rule can be put in one sen
tence Use the square stance for
the full shot, the open for the quar-
ter and the half, bringing the feet
closer together the shorter the shot.
