LongwOrths Co To

Some there were who did not give,
up their plans or turn back at the.
Presidential whistle. For instance,

Mrs. Theodore Rooseyelt,' Mrs. Long
worth's brother and his wife, were
there, and when the Beeckmans
had planned a brilliant dinner in
young Colonel Roosevelfs honor,
! which seemed almost by way OF well
coming him into the political arena,
which he has lately entered. The din

years more, after that. And l believe

And. as 1 told the gentleman from
Texas-every one of the active suf-

them in several-to which they would
be glad to turn the energy that for
years suffrage had absorbed. In fact
it was largely their desire to help ef-
