POLITICS
By The Occasional Prophet

Washington is the storm-center OF
California politics. Distance, no doubt,
lends enchantment TO the people of
that State.
Senator Hiram Johnson is manipu-
lating his Presidential boom at this
end of the line and. at the same time,
is trying to steer his friend, William
Stephens, governor of the State, into
the Senate. Stephens was here in
Congress for several terms. When
johnson was elected Senator he
turned over the governorship 20
Stephens. after having first appointed
him lieutenant governor.
Hiram's plans to make Stephens a
Senator are running up against some
hard shedding. Indeed, Trey endanger
Hiram's chances of solid Republican
support from California for the Pres
idency. A few weeks ago all the Re-
publicans out there got together.
buried the hatchet (about an inch
deep and said they would be behind
Hiram for the Presidency Even De-
Young, editor of the Chronicle. said
he would be for Hiram. Hiram is
wise and no doubt has been keeping a
suspicious eye on DeYoung ever since.
DeYoung's bard is beginning TO
show. He wants Mayor James Rolph,
of San Francisco. made Senator. He
does not want Stephens. nor does he
want William Kent
Kent is a member OF the Tariff
Commission here in Washington. In
the past he has preferred to be known
as an Independent. and many be-
lieved him more Of n Democrat than
a Republican. Anything DeYoung
hates is an Independent. Progres ssive
or Democrat
So Hiram is up against the propo-
sition of ditChing Stephens in order
that Rolph may take Kent's scalp, or
losing DcYounC's support for the
Presidential nomination.
II Stephens, Rolph and Kent enter
the Republican primary. it is a pretty
safe bet that Kent will get the norri-
nation. Rolph can beat Kent in a
two-man race.
Kent is holding his indcpence over
the heads of the Republican leaders
He is said to have threatened to run
as an independent if he is not given a
square deal in the primaries
Stephens is a stubborn old codger
and it is not likely that he will release
Johnson from his promise to deliver
the Republican nomination for Sena-

has Seen. In the last two years the
population has increased $4,000. The
Democrats believe that they have the
better of the vote of this increased
population and thar henceforth Cali
fornia will be safely Democratic. Only
few weeks ago a Democrat was
elected mayor of Los Angeles by a
large majority. Reed Smoot, on be-
half of the Republican national COM
mittee, had wired the people of Los
Angeles asking them, in behalf Of the
welfare OF the Nation, and things
like that, to elect a Republican. The
next day the people elected a Demo-
crat. They evidently couldn't see
what a mayor has to do with ma
tional affairs.

NEW YORK CITY
Day-By-Day
By o. o. McYNTYRE

New York. Sept. lathe de-
molition of the Presbyterian Church
on Madison Square, built in 1906.
and now being torn down for a
sky-piercing ONCE building, brings
vividly to mind the influence OF
stanford White on Anne rIcan arcni-
lecture. 1t was White who de-
signed this Byzantine jewel-per-
haps the most unusual bit of archi-
lecture in New York.
When Harry Thaw. with a smok-
ing pistol in hand, walked away
rom Stanford Whites table atop
Madison Square Garden and left
the great artist gaspIng In death
agonies, a great blow was struck
against the art of constructing
unique and artistic buildings. As
the years go White has more ad-
mirers than ever before. People
seem entirely to have forgotten the
sordid side OF his life-if such he
had.
White was the leader of the new
epoch in architecture. II he ad-
nired mosaic pavement OF the
second century, he would introduce
II some place where II ought not
to be, but it always pleased. He
had a divine frenzy for making him
self known, like Disraeli and other
leaders. He was a dynamic trump
eteer.
Not a day went by without Stan
ford White breaking into the pages
of the press with some startling
idea. His flaming red head could
be seen a mile. and at the opera he
would come in late and sit for an
hour in the center of the house so
that everybody would whisper:
There's Stanford white"
He wore the best cut OF clothes.
fashioned by the most exclusive
tailors, and his scarves were never
duplicated. He got them from the
Paris branch of a Fifth avenue shop
and in those days they cost $40. He
was always out to make friends
and he was always doing things to
make people talk about him.
He was a favorite in society, just
as he was welcomed into the inner
circles OF the great merchant
princes. He excited them all. He
buffaloed them in everything they
took up, whether It be sport. an
tiquities. decoration. bibelots. office
buildings, country houses, or what
not. Those who knew him we'll de-
clare that he had the most remark
able personality of any man in the
city.

Since the Federal amendment

there is a pitiful effort on the part
OF New York theatergoers to enter

glass seems to satisfy. And so
they stroll around-these silk

CITY COMMISSION
THE MATTER OF ELECTRIC
LIGHTING CONSUMES THE
TIME OF THE SESSION.

The city commission met in short
session last evening and transacted
no city business of any Importance.
City Auditor VIM. Rae was away on
business. With this exception all
were present. A meeting of the Mad
ison Building & Loan association at
the same hour caused several of the
members, who are interested in that
activity, to leave early, but before
going they respectfully listened to
remarks made by Charles w. Loring,
a representative of the Northern
States Power company, of Sioux
Falls, who was present to present a
business proposition for the consid-
GRAFTON of the commission and the
citizens also.
The Northern States Power COM
pany had previously come forward
with a proposal to transmit electric
current into Madison over the Hart
ford line, but Mr.. Loring was present
to advise that, after considering all
the factors entering into the feasibil-
ity of such a plan, his company deem
ed it impractical, but in lieu of it he
mentioned a project that is now being
worked out that will cost his COM
pany many thousands of dollars to
see through. Briefly, it is this: The
Northern States Power company pro-
pose to construct and maintain a
transmission line from the supplying
unit at Sioux Falls to Flandreau,
branching off from there to Madison.
With an array of figures Mr.. Lor-
ing presented many arguments as to
the economy and efficiency resulting
from a municipality of small size be-
looming a purchaser of current retail
ed from a larger center and assured
the commissioners that, judging from
the saving now made by cities using
Northern States supplied current, a
saving of possibly $4,000 pei annum
would result should Madison deem II
wise to purchase outside current
rather than build a plant.
Mr.. Loring quoted figures showing
that only IS cities in Massachusetts
had lately constructed their W cleo.
trio power plants. The remainder
are all municipal purchasers.
Mr.. Loring will return soon anc
meet the city commission again or
the Northern States Power company''
latest proposal. Everything connect
ed with the project will be laid be
fore the city authorities for their con
federation. Just how such a projec'
will be taken by our citizens VIII

SAFE ROBBED
DIR. RENSVOLD LOSES BONDS
AND DENTAL SHEET GOLD.

Some time between Saturday night
and Monday morning somebody en-
tered DR.. P. M. Rensvold's dental Of
flee and took from his safe two 500
Liberty bonds, a card of wal stamps
and a sheet of gold valued at $25.
DR.. Rensvold has been foath to be-
lieve that his safe had been tempered
with and has made a systematic
search of his office in the belief that
he mislaid the articles, but the search
has been without result and he is
now convinced that the lost articles
have been stolen. A small amount
of change in the safe was untouched
and the envelopes containing the
bonds and War stamps were left be-
hind. The doctor is not sure wheth-
err he locked his safe Saturday night
or not, but it was unlocked Monday
morning and the combination unin-
jured.
