(
Il CCORDING to dispatches
from Europe the Republican
- Party now has q leader to
whom its adherents may point with
pride as the ''Quintessence Of
sartorial perfection. IF It Is ap.
propriate to use quotation from
oscar the big, good.natured
negro. who was. on duty at the
entrance to the McAdoo suite at
the Vanderbilt Hotel during the
Democratic convention IN New
York.
oscar" claimed no credit as the
author Of the pompous phrase. He
merely passed it on with pleasure,
as an epithet often applied to ex-i
Senator Ham" Lewis, along with
other gossip about big Democrats, !"
with whom he had been assOci-
atedn for the past twenty-five
1 don't recall dispatches having
come from Europe in regard to
s'Ham" Lewis ever having i'm
pressed Europeans as being the
ssQuintessence" and so forth in the
perfection of his dress as have
come in regard to our Secretary of
State, Charles Evans HugheSal
though the former senator from
Illinois has travelled much abroad
and undoubtedly gave as much
scrupulous attention to his appear

Republicans Late
In Getting Leader.
The difference must be in the
cut Of the face and figure Of these
distinguished wearers Of ''sartorial
quintessence.n Or the difference
may be in the cast Of the foreign
mind.
While the Republicans are q lit
tie late in bringing out their sar@
torial man In comparison with the
time that the Democrats have had
their man conspicuous in this field
still the Republicans are proud Of
being conservatives And so all Is
as It should be, perhaps.
The Independent Progressive Party
viii probably have to put forward
young Bob" La Toilette, son Of
the Progressive leader, as its sar-
torial representative.
During the Cleveland convention
(the Republican onel some apprecia-
tive feminine reporter tried to play
mp Young Bob" as the American
prototype Of the Prince Of Wales.
The young Wisconsin does wear
natty gray suits and gay bouton-
Nieres. But / have never heard Of
his falling OFF a horse yet!
