Skating Pattern in Dream.

That one of his most successful ice
patterns came to him in a dream was
recently revealed by Sidney Charlton,
who claims the world trick skating
championship. While in Switzerland he
dreamed that he was skating before a
large crowd who seemed to applaud out
of all proportion to his act. When he
looked on the ice he found that he had
drawn. with his skates. perfect pat
tern Of sunf1ower. The surprise
awakened him. and he jumped out OF
bed to jot down the turns, which ne
found next day to be practicable.

Two Women State Chairmen,

An exceptional condition obtains in
New York State politics. The other day
Lieut. Gov Edwin Corning resigned as
chairman OF the Democratic State
committee and his duties were tempo
rarily assumed by Mrs. Carolyn O'Day,
the vice chairman. Yesterday George
K. Morris, chairman Of the Republican
State committee. died suddenly and his
duties have likewise been temporarily
assumed by Miss Sarah Butler the
vice chairman. Thus woman is at
the head of each State committee of
New York, a situation that has never
before occurred.
In all likelihood these two acting
chairmen will be relieved of their I'M
expected responsibilities in season as
the two chairmanships are filled. Mean
while, however, important matters are
to be arranged. 1t is expected that
Mrs. ODay will function as chairman
until the Democratic State convention
meets at Rochester on the lst Of Oc-
tober. calling that convention to order
and presiding until permanent or
ganization is effected. In the Republi-
can organization it is expected that
while Miss Butler will hold the title pro-
visionally the work Of the State COM
mittee will be actually directed by Ma
tional Committeeman Charles d. Hilles
and Secretary l.. B. Gleason.
Even though these two women should
be replaced by men before the close
of the campaign, they are actively en-
gagged in the fight for votes in their
respective parties, having particular
charge of the women's departments.
In the ALLEGATION of duties in both
State and national campaigns in both
parties women are playing important
parts. It is recognized that the vote
of the women Of this country will be
perhaps a decisive factor in the con-
test More fully than at any time
since the nineteenth amendment was
adopted are the woman voters of
America now participating. They have
formed clubs innumerable for their re-
spective favorites. They have formed
leagues in their States. They are pre-
pairing and distributing campaign ma
terial. are addressing meetings and as
the campaign progresses will be more
fully and constantly heard "on the
stump" So that even though Mrs.
ODay and Miss Butler after brief
periods of Craftsmanship are replaced
BY men, they will still have much to do
toward the selection of the next Presi-
dent.
