believed she could be elected Mrs

content to remain in Washington as
official vice presidential hostess.
The Republican National Committee
has decreed that convention delegates
shall be selected on the basis of con-
greSsional reapportionment. California
and Michigan thereby made sizable
gains in delegate strength at Chicago
| The Democratic National Committee
has decreed that convention delegates
shall be selected on the basis of the
existing congressional districts. MaSsa-
chusetts has l6 congressional districts
at present. Under reapportionment she
has IS districts. The Bay State secre-
tary of State is in dilemma-how to
hold a presidential primary when Re-
publican, districts and Democratic dis
tricts are diverse. General Counsel
/ James Francis Burke of the Republican
National Committee has proffered ad-
vice. He suggests that the Democrats
discard their own plan and adopt the
15-district plan so far as MaSSachu-
sets is concerned. That suggestion is
tossed out the window by the Demo-
Gratis It seems likely that the upshot
will be Bay State primary for both
parties on the basis of the l6 existing
districts and then leave it to the 80
Republican district delegates so selected
to draw lots when they get to Chicago
for the 80 seats to which they are en-
titled.

connection the ever courtly hammered
Chicagoan took occasion to observe
that it had been quite some time
since he had previously served. in
the Senate, TO which Borah remarked
dryly, ITO the loss of this body
Borah's retort provokes the speculation
as to whether he paid the Hon J. Ham
Lewis high compliment or was gently
ironical Of the Senate. That depends
on Mr.. Borah'S own estimate "of this
body"

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Argument.

The Argument.
Somebody said, This world is wrong;
There's no excuse for smile or song.
The blossoms on the bush or tree
Are all as false as false can be,
Since, like some unsubstantial friend,
Each brings his kindness to an end,
And scenes however bright and gay
Meath chilling drifts must sleep some
day"
And some one cried, This worlds all
right.
The SHOWS will vanish in a night;
The clouds that hang across the blue
Are bound to melt They always do.
And blossoms, though they will not stay,
Return to cheer us on the way,
Old friends, whom time can ne'er re-
move,
Whose love with absence doth improve.
