"Please tell us about the next presi
dent, Uncle Ted.' teased Jack. who,
with Ruth, had just succeeded in plant
ing Uncle Ted in the big swing on the
back porch. "You said you'd tell us
all about him some day and you never
have"
Jack replied his uncle as he lift
ed the two children into comfy seats
beside him, "your memory is entirely
too good. 1 did say I would tell you
all about our next president some day
and I will, but that some day hash t
arrived as yet Nobody can tell who
our next president will be until next
November when every voter will go to
the voting places and cast his or her
vote because the women will vote IN
many places) for the man they want.
Just now there are many, many men
trying to be president. The Repuh-
lican delegates who will decide who
shall be the Republican candidate,
meet next month in Chicago and the
Democrats meet in San Francisco in
July. After these two conventions las
these meetings are called, are held, |
can tell YOU more about it. So far as
7 am concerned, the man who is Sc
lected by the Rpublicans at Chicago
next month will be the next president
"Who do you think that will be?'
asked Jack.
at don't know Jack. You mustn It
be 80 inpatient. There are a lot of
people who would like to know, but
there is no way to find ont. Your guess
is as good as mine"
"Tell us some other story, them
coaxed Ruth.
can right, Ruth, will. I will tell
you something about some of our Unit
ed States senators whose terms of Of
fee end in March, 1921, next year.
First of all YOU must know that United
States senator's are elected for SIX
years and the year before their term
ends another election is held. This
wear it comes at the same time the poo
pie vote for president, which is every
four years. There are many of our
present senators who, if they are TO
serve again must be elected this year
for another six years.
"Do representatives serve for sN
wears, too?' asked Jack.
ono, Jack, they are elected only
for two years. But you must be quiet
now so that l can tell you this story,
First of all / want to say one import
ant thing which ! believe to be, from
studying. the situation, Just as true a
the fact that | am sitting here, that
the American people who decide who
shall represent them in the United
States senate, are not going to change
the senate one bit to please Woodrow
| Wilson,
"What do you mean by that2' ask
ed Jack.
al mean that because most of the
senators thought more of the United
States than they did of every other
country in the world; and because they
refused to let the United States Join
the world club, of which | have told
you so much and which Mr.. Wilson
would have us join no matter if ii did
mean turning our government over to
foreign countries, the president wouli
| like to have all these senators defeat
ed so that there would be senate
that would favor the world club or
course, Mr. Wilson won't be president
after next March and even if the men
he wants were elected to the senate
they would not start to serve until he
was out of the White House. Now !
will tell you about some of the scna-
tors who have fought the World club
plan and who, if they are to serve an
other tenn in the senate must run this
year. One of the ir,t senators of this
kind who comes to my mind is senator
Reed SmOot of Utah. Senator Smoot
has been fought by many of the people
of that state because they favor the
world club which Senator Smoot has
