has written a letter to Governor Low

publican nomination, to ask him to
define his stand on the league. He
said in the letter that this question
will come before the next administra-
ton, whether written into the party's
platform or not, and therefore, candi-
dates for the Presidency should make
their position plain without delay.
''Those for whom l speak" he wrote,

Lengue To BE Issue.
Obviously, the league will be an is
sue in this years campaign, and the
warning of one OF the highest ad-
visers of the Republican party will
go unheeded.
The position of the Democrats Is
equally obscure, and among them the
signs of unrest are just as apparent.
The doubt as TO whose shoulde RS
will receive the mantle of Leadership,
once President Wilson throws 4 off,
is not conducive to the peace of mind
! of individual party leaders. 1t is cr.ly
natural that several backs should be
barred to catch it. William Jennings

| the Democratic party the benefit Of
his advice and experience, 1t is every
| where admitted that he will be a
| dominating figure in his party again.
And this may not go down without
heartburnings.
Situation without Precedent.
All in all. the situation today lis
almost without precedent. The death
OF Theodore Roosevelt left the field
open for all-comers in his party, and
, what is considered the certain fe-
fusal of President Wilson to accept
the nomination for a third term
clears the road before Democratic as.

So far as publicly announced issues

Only once did the speaker tread on
delicate ground last night and that was
when he urged teachers to save. Sew.
eral In the audience failed to discover
a sense Of humor at the suggestion.
Mr.. Brown said the banks Of the coun
try had done great thing in educat-
ing people to save systematically. He
spoke highly Of the Building and Loan
Association and suggested this as an
excellent place to put ones money
with seven per cent. fine return. A
number Of parents were investing for
their children here. It meant that a
regular amount must be saved each
week whether or no while the banks
could not require this;
Mr.. Brown told a number OF ways in
which people taught themselves to
save. One woman he knew had saved
all the pennies she came across and
now had $500 which she Intended using
to pay her funeral expenses. Others
saved dimes or nickles or in other
WAYS learned how to save.
Mrs. Straight told how children
begged for pennies for candy and gum

the foolishness of wasting money in
this manner. She told Of teaching u
