This incident is one which typiâ€" fies her husband, she writes in the Young Republican.~ As they deâ€" parted from a large function, the doorman called loudly up and down the street, "Senator Taft‘s car." "It‘s a good car, but it doesn‘t come when it‘s called," was Taft‘s answer, as he walked off to find his parked car. So far as we‘re concerned, as soon as an electioneer begins to speak of Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington, the "great," it‘s fatal. Mrs. Taft‘s claims for her sex don‘t go as far as the little girl who wrote a composition on the human race and said, "Both men and women sprang from apes, but the women sprang farther than the men," but she does her best to woo women‘s favor in order to sell her husbandâ€"not down the river, either. Heard among the campaign barbs: In one appropriation Governor Horâ€" ner gave the custodian of the tomb of Stephen A. Douglas an increase in salary from $1,800 to $2,400. Someone asks, "The tomb weighs 100,000 pounds. Was this a bonus because no one had stolen it?‘ Mrs. Taft is the daughter of the late Llioyd W. Bowers who served as solicitor general of the United States under President William Howard Taft. Ambitions to become the eighth president from Ohio are those of Senator Robert A. Taft, Republiâ€" can. And his wife too. "Bob and Martha" go trundling off together campaigning in what Mrs. Katharâ€" ine Kennedy Brown, Republican naâ€" tional committeewoman from Ohio, says is a "new style." Once speaker of the Ohio house, he has engaged in debates a la Lincolnâ€"Douglas, with Robert J. Bulkley, Democratic senator, and Illinois‘ Representative T. V. Smith. All of which may or may not have anything lo do with Dewey‘s tuking America, becoming the ~new broom" to sweep out financial hocusâ€" pocus. Endorsements, headquarter sourâ€" ces say, include one letter written on birchâ€"bark by a Maine guide, anâ€" other scratched out on a piece of tin can, mailed in by a Nevada prosâ€" pector. Dewey supporters also point with pride to the Ivy Republican club‘s endorsement of their candidate. Founded in 1883, it is the oldest Republican organization in New York City. Following Columbia law school, Dewey was an active worker in the group. jobee, no weddee." Rep ublica n Thomas E. Dewey, presidential canâ€" didate, says New Dealism has siâ€" lenced wedding bells, claims the number of marriages has fallen 25 per cent in the last decade.

Mrs. LeRoy Shelton of Glencoe, president of the North Shore Alumnae, will be assisted by her board in welcoming all returnâ€" ing alumnae of all chapters at the informal reception taking place after the banquet festivities. Included in the group of 20 to be initiated are girls from the North Shore, as well as many from widely different points. Honolulu is the residence of the one living farthest away. Twenty young women will be inâ€" itiated into the mysteries of the Northwestern chapter of Alpha Phi, international sorority for college women, founded in 1872, on Saturâ€" day, March 9, at the University chapter house. Following the solâ€" emnities, the North Shore Alumnae will join with the collegiate chapter at a formal banquet at the Georgian hotel, Evanston, at 7 o‘clock. The Democratic Record, printed in purple ink, ("In Purple to Comâ€" bine the Vigor of Red with the Loyalty of Blue") calls itself an exâ€" oteric sheet (Webster‘s: suitable to be imparted to the public; hence, readily comprehensible). It is pubâ€" blished twice a month "to provoke thought andâ€"makeâ€"Lemocracy work."

Thomas, Kentucky, for the Juniors; Miss Ruth Sprenger of Kenilworth for the Sophomores; and for the Alumnae, Mrs. Schuyler Brandt of Evanston. Mrs. Shelton is receiving reservaâ€" tions from alumnae for the event, as is Mrs. James W. Barton of Highland Park. And so as speculation rages, don‘t say it‘s a long time until November, plenty of time to shop around to see what we‘re voting for. The greatâ€" est crime, committed by the Ameriâ€" can people is one of indifference in governmental affairs. Alpha Phi Initiation Banquet Will Be Held in Evanston Lake county has its place in the sun, too. Richard Lyons of Liberâ€" tyville, for 10 years a member of the general assembly, is running in the Illinois gubernatorial race, inâ€" veighing against "the Kellyâ€"Nashâ€" Horner trained troupe of muscleâ€" men," "back â€" room â€" king â€" making," ""handâ€"picking the state ticket," "triâ€" bute for the right to eat."

C. Alphonso Smith answers: "It can express your emotions, "It can keep before you the vision of the ideal. "It can give you a better knowlâ€" edge of human nature. "It can restore the past to you.
