She also struck back at Mr. Daugh- erty for his charges that she had at- tempted to blackmail him as a price for her silence and had registered at a Cleveland hotel with a man named A. L. Fink. Both charges constitut- ed a "beautiful frameup", Miss Stin- son declared in a sobbing statement of vehement denial and lengthy ex- piation. The convention "deal" she said, was related often to her by the late Jesse Smith, her late husband and constant companion of Mr. Daugher- ty. She said she was told of a prom- ise of a cabinet position to Jake Hamon, former oil operator, and of "strong arm" methods employed by Daugherty in the famous early con- ference of Republican leadersat Chl- scago, when they got behind Mr. Hard- ing for the nomination. No specific whiskey "deals" wereI cited by Miss Stinson, but she said Smith ha4 told her of them and had j said that Daugherty's influence was 'Junior Girls' Plao Slow, Crud By Robert Henderson Now that the present run of the Junior Girls' play has run out, and it is no longer necessary to dilute ! one's criticism for the sake of adver- tising, one may as well be frank: I have seen four Junior Girls' plays and I thought last year's production was excellent, even better than the cur- rent Union opera; but this year's per. formance- .- In its favor the very highest praise should be given to the local satire, which was generally clever and point- ed. It is a feature which for every reason the opera can never hopet to approximate, and it is the same fea. ture which the junior girls should stress to the utmost in their future productions.

Under the pres- ent system, a president doesn't take office until 4 months after he is elect- ed, and a new congress doesn't con- vene until 13 months later. The drawbacks in the present sys- tem are manifest. The, expression of public opinion is delayed for months. In England, and practically all pro- gressive governments, it is only a matter of weeks.
