The whole sys tem of national defence has been prac tically recast, ihe new military organ ization being hotter adapted to the pe culiar conditions of the Ottoman Em pire. The “division” has been selected as the unit of strength, and on a peace footing will consist of three regi ments of Infantry, each compo.'^ed of four batallions of four companies, and one I'attalion of chasseurs. The ca dre of a third battalion, will, however, bo attached to each rdegiment and will he completed by reserves In time of war. A regiment of artillery, one or twn squadrons of cavalry, a com pany of engineers, a sanitary and a transport detachment will be attached to each division. The cavalry will consis! of mounted infantry, and each man wi’l have to supply his ow'n mount on the same system r.s prevails in Scrvi.i.

Wasliingtoji. .Ian. 7.—William How ard 'raft i.s to he the republican presidential candidate in 1012. This i.' the verdict o\ fiiends of the presi- dt nl who conli’ol the balance of pow'- or iniiie republican camp. President Taft is willing to run again, according to his friends, .and will become ihe republican candi date whether or not defeat seems “(‘rtain. Of all the presidential tim- l>er in the republican ranks, con- servalive and insurgenl. the presi- cient is the least woiri(*d about I he Taft political boosters claim that ho is the only man in the lime light that can bring together the re publican factions; that he is the keystone of the republican party, and hy the end of his nresent term M'ill lie riding on the ihgh tide of public approval. The president, unlike his predecessors ha?; little love for ac claim and spectacular effects, lie workf’ hard and strides f,r results. “V)eeds, not words,” said a Taft man at the white house the other day, “15^ a maxim of the j’aft creed.” While Postmaster General Hitch cock, the politician of the adminis tration. is w'orking day and night tix- ing up the Southern delegates to the next republican national conven tion, oihei's of the Taft boosters are preparing for an organized moA'ement to get the republicans together for the struggle two years off. There is talk of re-organization and elimina tion of the anti-Taft sentiment in .several of the Western states. Then, too. President Taft and Col. Roose velt will not clash for it is under- stoood thoroughly here that New York will go to the next convention with a Taft delegation. Lloyd G. Griscom, who is the new' boss of the rejiublicans in the Em pire state. Collector I.oeb, and other iiitluential republicans who are close to Col. Roosevelt, and are welcome visitors at Oyster Bay, have told President Taft tliat the New York republicans want him to run again in 1912. Pennsylvania, thrc.igh Sei?a- tor F'enrose. has told the president that lie will be the state’s choice j for republican presidential honors j two .vears hence. Ohio, Maine. Ma.s- sachusetts. Illinois and in fact all; of the dyed-in-the-wool republican states are lined up in the Taft col umn. 'Phere has hardly been one repr;b- lican or representative, excepting fol lowers of Senators LaFollette and Ctinimins, who has not made it his hus'ness to call ai the white hor.se in the last month, and inform the president that he is his personal choice for re-election. It is recognized by the regulars that SenaJ;ors LaFollette and Cui'i- mins have some following among radical Western States, but the voice of these states in a national con vention will be easily snowed under by the overwlieiming uiajority that the East and South can send to the convention. It is these same Southern de’e- gates that Col. Roosevelt influenc ed with the help of Hitchcock, to have President Taft nominated in 1908. The delegates from the South have long been a bone of contention in the republican national conven tions. Efforts to eliminate the rep resentation of the Southen States in proportion to the republican vote cast have alw'ays failed. As the case nov.-^ stands one republican vote in South Carolina for instance has equal weight in national conven tions wdth 15.000 faithful follow'ers of Boss Penrose in Pennsylvania. “Whether Colonel Roosevelt sup ports hom or not,” said a close friend of the president, in discussing the political situation, “President Taft will be a candidate for renom- ination in 1912. Mr Taft is not wait ing to see w'hich ways t}ie political wind blow's. He is not concerned with the fpiGstion of whetro he should make the race. If the party w'ants him he is readoy to run. The party does want him. The delegates to the 1912 con vention w’ill he for him and iie will he re-nominated. “President Taft is a man w^ho will be extremely popular before his pres ent term of president expires. It is a fact that in less than tw'^o years, as the head of the nation, he has had more real reforms enacted into law than did Col. Roosevelt In his seven years at the head of national affairs. President Taft does not care for notoriety. He is not proclaiming his good w^orks. In time w^iat he is accomplishing wil> be know^n to the people generally, and then the pub lic will aw'ake lo a '’ealization that President 'I'aft’s administration h.Ts been a.big success. “Two years from now’ all opposi tion to him will have disappeared. He wili be the republican stand ard bearer, and the democrats flush ed with their recent vicforv' in the rongressional elections will find that elecLiug a president of the United States i:^ difierent and harder work than gaining control of the house of representatives, and putting into office a few state f'xecutiv'es. “I am reminded of President Taft’s '^X’lnrience in thf> Philippines. It is similar to vhat ha.s occurred since he took over the presidency. When b.e arive^i in .Manila, as th^ i^rst gov- ernov g"-neral, he had confronting him a half (’0.7^11 strong political groups, each one suspicious of the ot.ior, and all su.;niciot’.s of the gov ernor general. He never turned a ’jC-ir; d.it out justice to .-ill without fear or favor, and refused to play po’itics. Tn two years the Filipinos !'.enan to see that there w'^as a good (ieal 10 Mr. Taft. In three years they wore all for him. and today there is hardly a Filipino that v.’iil i;ot tell you what a great man Mr. Taft really il. "His refusal to play politics, in lay opinion, is one of the president’s .^rreai virtues. He had an excellent oportiiniy recentl.v when making up the Lnited States suprer>Te court and commerce court siates but the pres ident ajipointed a democrat a chief ju.;tice. T predict President Taft as the c'nolce of the republican national convention in 1912.’’ Do you want a good first-class Clothes Hamper? If so call an ' rr our stock.

Washington, Jan. 7.—In the house of representatives today the two states men who are in the public eye, and who are pointed out to visitors in the galleries, are Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon, of Illinois and Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, who in the next house, it is generally admitted, will preside as speaker. It is no exag geration to say that those tw'o nation al lawmakers are just now the most talked of men In public life. I-.ast year it was Speaker Cannon who held public attention because of the war made on him by insurgent re publicans, but since the November elections Champ Clark ocupies the more prominent position. This is due to the fact that he Is regarded as the Moses to lead the democrats in the next house through a tariff maze that will his friends say, end in victory in 1912. And thus it is that every body wants to know all about the man who Is to be the first democratic speaker to preside over the house in 16 years. The success that has attended Champ Clark since his entrance into politics nearly thirty years ago ia at tributed to his experience as a school teacher. He taught school in Kentucky where he obtained his own education in the common schools. With the mon ey he made at teaching he paid his w'ay through Kentucky University and Bethany College. At twenty-three he was president of Marshall College, "West Virginia. He attended a Cincinn ati law school, from which he graduat ed in 1875. Soon afterwards he located in Pike county, Mo., where from the start he made a hit with the people, for he had not been there a great leng^th of time when he was made city attorney of Bowling Green. It was after making his home in Missouri that Mr. Clarke experienced trouble with his name. There were other J. B. Clarks in and around Pike county, and the letter carriers and country post masters were continually getting mail mixed. To simplify matters the speak- er-to-be cut off the first handle of his name—James—and left it Beauchamp, which is pronounced “Deecham.” But the residents of Pike county co\ild never gets right accent and would in sist on calling it “Bowchamp.” This was too much and the future democrat ic house leader shortened his name to Champ, by w'hich he is known to day. There is no better judge of men in the hou.'ie than Champ Clark. His ex- perienos as * lawyer, farmer, country editor and school teacher gives him judgment that stamps him as a nat ural leader of men. He is of imposing stature and weighs more than 200 pounds. He is built like an athlete i with a head of the scholar. When I a young man he wore a fuii beard, wdiich later he reduced to a moustache, ' but for the past twenty years he has 1 shaved daily. 1 He has a strong personality, and as a debater has few equals in the house. I His speeches are full of flre, and i the style is such that after one has ^ once heard his remarks in the Record j can be recognized without seeing his i name. It is no exaggeration to say j that he is one of the best informed men In the house. He is quick and apt j with biblical quotations to fit any point I that may arise in debate. He is an in- defeatigable worker, giving personal attention to his large correspondence, which has trebled since the November elections. There Is one thing that can be said of Champ Clark, and that is he is truly democratic. Any evening 3*ou may find him dining at one of the swell hotels, while tomorrow you w^ill see him eating dinner at some unpre- tentlons cafe. At the capitol you will 9 times out of 10 find him in that part of the house restaurant reserved for the public. He is not an epicure. His meals are composed of good, wholesome food, and hence he never suffers from indigestion. He has not smoked a cigar or pipe for more than twenty years, but he does enjoy a chew of good tobacco. Uncle Joe Cannon, who steps down from the speaker’s chair, March 4, 1911, is known far and wide as a judge of tobacco, especially cigars. It is - a rare thing to see Speaker Cannon in the house without an imported cigar sticking out of the corner of his mouth, at an angle of 75 degrees. Of course It is not always lighted, for Uncle Joe enjoys a dry smoke. If any one should ask why Speaker Cannon is so popular with the Southern mem bers the answer is because he Is a native of the Tar Heel state, and al though he left North Carolina and went to Illinois before the civil war he never let his heart grow cold to ward the Southland. While Represen tative Bingham, of Pennsylvania, is called the “Father of the house,” be cause he has the longest continuous service to his credit, the service of Uncle Joe is not exceeded by any one in either house of congress. He enter ed the house in 1873 when James G.

But Uncle Joe returned to the 53rd congress and has come back regularly' ever since, although in the last campaign the Insurgents made a desperate effort to get his political scalp. According to precedent. Speaker Cannon is entitled to the Republican caucus nomination for speaker when the house meets for organization next December. The caucus nomination in this Instance, however, is merely an honor, although It carries with it the fioor-leadershlp of the minority and unless the republican insurgents change their attitude even that small honor will not go to Uncle Joe without a fight. The standpatters, or regulars, say they will stand by the speaker in the next caucus, unless he decides to step aside and let one of the others take the responsibility of floor-leader- ship but the attitude of the insurgents is distinctly hostile to him.
