 Citizens who wish to have tho United, States enter the League of N9- tions with proper safeguarding of OUT national sovereignty are also Of a mind to vote for Cox since Harding , burned his bridges behind him and declared for the policy of the so- called irreconcila blcs in smashing tite present league. The League of Ma tons has many supporters in NSw Britain. the silent class who do their ~ own thinking. who do not clutter up the Curbstones putting out their fel- low countrymen'S eyes with their wild gesticulations.
 The stand of Senator Brandegen z against woman suffrage: his lack of courtesy toward woman delegations who besought his support, may ten l to bring down the ma aiority the Re- publicans counting upon.

 Her favorite seat was in the win dow of a room of the stewards Cher relative's) home, facing the street leading to the Church of St. Jacobs: and there she sat and :ang to her cat and tho people passing. in tho street used to hear. and wonder. <

Already her voic. possessed the heart-search'ns quality by which it afterwards exercised SO irresistible a spell and as the girl sang to Croclius he was moved to tears and took her in to Count Puckc, the manager of the Court theatcr. @ Count Puckc, too was moved to tears, and from that moment Sho was ac- ceptcd pupil at tho theatrical school ard put under the tuition of" Herr Albert Berg, director of the opcratic class, assisted by the welt known composer, Lindblad. and edu- catcd at government expepse.'' ..
