Most Strongly Partisan Republican
Says Old Party Needs Roosevelt.
Who Will "Consent-
"I, don't think any one doubts that
Theodore Roosevelt expects to obtain the
Republican nomination for the Presi
dency In Hit Furthermore, I don't think
there Is much question but that he will
have it If be wants It"
, This, from Frank W. Mondell. a mem
ber of the House, who alwaj-s has align
ed himself with the leadership against
which Roosevelt protested In leaving the
party. Indicates the unanimity w 1th which
the old party turns to Roosevelt to lead
It from the wilderness and political star

Mr. Mondell probably bould fairly bo
characterized as one of the most strongly
partisan members of the Republican side.
He Is a regular of the regulars. He can
make even James E. Mann, or Sereno
Payne look like raging Insurgents, at
times. Even Humphrey, of Washington,
must yield the palm to this sharp-eyed
upholder of the "prlnclpuls" of the Grand

"czar-like mastery of President Wilson
over the Congress of the United States."
And yet he stands today with open arms,
ready to welcome Theodore Roosevelt
back Into the Grand Old Party of Barnes.
Penrose and Abraham Lincoln
"How large a part of the Republican
rarty, bf those people whom Roosevelt
has attacked most viciously, will refuse
to receive Roosevelt back?" Mr. Mondell
was asked.
"None," he almost snapped in his de
cisiveness, though his eyes twinkled with
the saving sense of humor
"But how about the other Progres
sives?"
"I think Roosevelt will do what he can
for a few Progressive candidates In tome
States I don't think he will make the
active campaign he might havt made had
the trouble been of more recent origin.
I don't think you will find Mr Roosevelt
saying anything which further will open
the now closing breach between him and
the Republican party. I suppose he will
continue to attack the Individuals he
singled out before, but the party genecal-
1. I believe, will not be the object of his
attack The Democratic party will be his
target."

They have come to understand tnat

and that It can bring them back into the
fold by adopting a course more nearly in

KEEP YOUR EYES ON
THAT MILK BOTTLE!
Government Gives Some Hints and
Don'ts to Be Remembered
These Warm Days,
Iurlng the hot weather milk Is par
Ucularly susceptible to contamlnaticn.
and for that reason the United States
Department of Agriculture Is issuing a
timely warning to housewives: "Beware
of unclean milk""
When milk is delivered It should be
put Into the refrigerator at once. A
very brief exposure to summer heat
makes It unfit for use. If it is impos
sible to have the bottles put Immediately
into the refrigerator, provide on the
porch a box containing a lump of Ice.
Before removing the cap from a bot
tie of milk, the cap and the neck of the
bottle should be washed and carefully
wiped with a clean cloth. The cap
should not be pushed down Into the milk.
It may be easily removed with a sharp
pointed Instrument without Injuring the
contents. The bottle when once open
should be kept covered and the milk
should be kept In the original bottle,
unUl It Is used up. The original cap
should not be replaced, but Instead an
Inverted glass may be put over the top
.... r .-,.
or the bottle.
Milk bottles should never be taken Into
a sickroom, for, as they are usually re
turned to the milkman, they may thus
cany Infectious diseases Into other
homes. Every milk bottle left at a
house where there la an Infectious sick
ness should be boiled before being re
turned. In any case, bottles should be given
reasonable care before they are returned
to their owner- The practice of pour
ing vinegar or kerosene or other llquldo
Into them temporarily when not In use
should by all -means be discouraged. The
containers should be washed In cald
water first, and finally In warm water
before they are returned to the farmer
lupnlylnc ths milk. i
OLD CHURCH 10 BE RAZED.
Congregation to Hure Fifth. House
of Worship Since 1760.
Work on razing the historic old German
Lutheran Church, at Wisconsin avenue
and Volta place northwest, will begin
Wednesday. Final services were hejd in
the old building yesterday, including a
talk on Its history in the morning and a
farewell supper In the evening. Rev.
Luther H. Waring, pastor, stated yester
day that. the contract calls for the com
pletion ot the new building within six
months.
The first church on the site now occu
pied by the present one was built of logs
In 1769, when there was no city of Wash
ington, and the present Georgetown was
a village of 1,000. Later the old chutch
was found Inadequate, so a larger one
was built of dressed wood. That In time
gave way to the present building of brick,
and now a fourth one Is to be built of
stone. Congregations of the same denom
ination have always occupied all of these
churches.

Opponents of Equal Franchise Send
Statement to President Deny
ing Agitator's Claims.
President Wilson has become the storm
center of the woman suffrage fight in the
General Federation of Women's Clubs.
The board of directors of the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
acting through the organization's presi
dent. Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, of New
York, yesterday forwarded to the Presi
dent the copy of a statement Indorsed
by the directors denying that the LOOO.000
women of the federation are In favor of
woman suffrage and rebuking In sweeping
terms the General Federation for the tac
tics It employed in Its biennial convention
In Chicago recently In securing a vote for
woman suffrage.
This communication was sent to Mr.
Wilson In anticipation of the visit to hl-n
tomorrow of a delegation of suffragists
from the General Federation. Thu
declaration of the "antis" reads. In part.
"Case of Gaic Hale."
"The action Indorsing woman suffrage
was a clear case of gag rule In a packed
convention, worthy of the much-dtsplsed
political machines.
"Of the State federations, seventeen
have endorsed woman suffrage and
several have voted not to endorse It.
while by far the greater number have
refused to allow the subject to be dis
cussed at their conventions. In many ot
the State federations the suffragists
have been maneuvering for years to
secure suffrage delegates to the biennial
convention of the general federation.
Many suffragists hoped until the last mo
ment that the question would not be
btought up In Chicago and many have
said openly that they regretted that the
resolution was brought before the con
vention "The president. Mrs. Pennybacker. had
taken a neutral position The Illinois
suffragists openly threatened that, unless
she permitted the suffrage resolution to
be Introduced, a rival candidate would
be brought forward The president ap
pointed a committee of three suffrage
members of the board to confer with two
prominent suffragists In Chicago, and,
probably In consequence of this con
ference, it was announced from the plat
form on Iriday that the suffrage resolu
tion would be brought forward the next
morning
"When it was brought up Saturday
morning, there were in fax or of suffrage

Stearns, of Wisconsin. While many
women were on their feet tolng to ob

woman recognized by the president was

moved the previous question, which was
carried On the main question, a rising
vote was called for. but Ignored by the
president.
"A protest to the resolution was pre

wa accepted and placed on Me The fol

The suffragists are alread quoting
widely that one million club women have
endorsed woman suffrage, which is abso
