thoroughly subjugating them, our
government will nave no difficulty in
ruling the Islands.
"Many of rebellious petty monarchs
can be bought with pensions, and ob

NEW BLOOD
AND MORE LIFE
Odell Will Stir Up Republican
Leaders In New York.
New York, Nov. 17. Gov. Odell has
been making a study of tho returns of
the recent election in New York coun
ty, and as a result Is said to bo consid
ering a re-organization of the county
Republican committee. The explana
tion of the vast Democratic majority
which places the responsibility with
tho so -:iiled unpopular Low adminis
tration is not credited by Mr. Odell.
He believes that 70,000 Republicans
In this county failed to go to the polls
or oven to register, mainly because of
their antagonism to tho present leaders
of the party. Some of them, he be
lleves.might have held objections to tho
city administration, but this cause is
minimized In his estimate.
Whether the attempt to re-organize
the committee will lead to bitter war
I In the body Is a question that Is in
teresting to all of the politicians. What
Frederick S. Glbbs and Lemule Ely
Quigg will do if an attempt is made
to disturb tho combination as it now
exists is a matter of conjecture but old
timers in the organization say they will
fight and fight hard.
On tho other band tho Governor Is
Isald to be determined not only to
(change tho heads of the committee,
hut to make sweeping changes among
Wie raemberB If this can bo brought
ibout. Ho wants new blood and more
