Following an opening address by
State Chairmun Arthur H. Geissler,
in which ho advocated Republican
support of the Socialist “fair” elec-

over the question whether the com-

support that measure. No action

' London, Dec. 31.—New oYrk Is
the largest city In the world. Lon-
don, by reason of losses occasioned
by the war and because of a glgantci
mistake in estimating the popula-
tion, must now admit that the Amer-
ican metropolis Is the bigger by
about a quarter of a million people.
Nor are the matters improved, as
Londoners have Imagined, by com-
paring the population of Greater
London with that of Greater New
York, for there again the American
metropolis beats the older city by
132,000.
It is four years now since the last
census of London was taken, but
the official figures have only just
been made public.
Ine figures show, among other
things, the astonishing blunder. The
census revealed that there were ac-
tually some four and one-half mil-
lions within tho county of London
(which means 'London proper), but
the London county council and other
local authorities had been estimating
that the population was 390,000
more, and accordingly all statistics
as to births and deaths havo been
inaccurate.
The exact number of people in
tho county of London, according
.to these 1911 figures, is 4,521,358,
whereas New York City in 1910
numbered 4,706,883.
Counting in "extra-London,” as it
is termed (that is, London outside
the county), the population of the
erstwhile metropolis of the world
is 7,251,358, whereas Greater New
York, Including tho Westchester and
New Jersey suburbs, was, at the lust
census, 7,383,871.
Considering, however, that the lat-
ter count was made in 1914, three
years later than London’s most re-
cent enumeration, the probability is
that the biggcHt cities of the old
and the new world are now just

Chicago, Dec. 31.—“Talked to
death" is the verdict of Dr. R. T.
Vaughan, night warden of the
County hospital on the deaths there
of twenty-four patients on Christ-
mas Day. This Is within two of
tho record deaths for one day.
Dr. Vaughan blumed the largo
number on the visitors who are al-
lowed in the hospital three hours
every day, and on the hoard of
county commissioners Indirectly.
But today tho board refused to
change tho hours when the over-
crowding was called to their atten-
tion.
"We had about 4,000 visitors
Christmas Day," Dr. Vaughan said.
"Sundays and holidays the death
rate is always lilghor and It Is on
account of tho excitement caused by
so many visitors.
“Every one seems to bo a friend
of a commissioner, alderman or
somo one olso In politics, and every
ono thinks he haH a better right to
visit Ills sick friend than any one
else. The result Ir that the patients
that are unable to rocelvo visitors
are tho sufferers. Wo havo no prl-
vuto rooms, so in tho Inrge wards
sometimes several patients are at
the point of death. These can't
stuml the noise."

Next In order comes Paris with
2,346,986 and then Chicago with
2,185,283, Tokio with 2,168,151 and
Berlin with 2,064,153.
To study the growth of London
as revealed by the new figures is
Interesting. In 1801 greater Lon-
don contained only 1,114,644 per-
sons, the present number thus In-
dicating an Increase of 561 per cent.
The population of “extra-London"
Increased slowly up to 1861 and
then went ahead with corresponding
rapidity. In each of the three de-
cades, 1861-’71. 1B71-'81 and 1881-
’91, it added 50 p6r cent or over.
Between 1801 and 1851 it doubled;
it nearly doubled again between
1871 and 1891, and almost did
tho trick again between 1891 and
1911,
In a hundred years many of the
London districts have come Into be-
ing, 'but it is quite curious to find
that Westminster, which had 160,-
000 habitants In 1801, and after-
wards increased, has now gone back
to that population.
It speedily rose during the last
century and has almost as rapidly
declined, the drop in population be-
ing explained by the conversion of
dwellings Into business places. All
central London districts are declin-
ing in population and developing
Into business centers.
Women preponderate in tho census
returns. In London there are 1,127
of them to every 1,000 men, though
In "oxtra-London" the proportion Is
slightly higher, namely, 1.T32. In
Hampstead there are as many as
1,606 women to 1,000 men. The
tendency is for families to decrease,
the averago per family now being
4.17 persons.

Chicago, Doc. 31.—Tho anthro-

according to Prof. Robert M.

ing of tho American Psychological
Association at the University of

adding,
"For Instance thoy obtain the idea
of ‘mildness,’ so to speak, from

which men struggle.
An All Around Big Man.
Estabrook Is a big man physically,
mentally nnd politically. Quite six
feet In height, erect, rugged, ho would
be a man of commanding presence in
any gathering. Ills mental attainments
are nttesled by bis signal success In
the practice of law and by tho wide-
spread Interest In his every public ut-
terance on governmental, economic
and social problems. He has alwnys
been a student and when be discusses
a subject he speaks with the author-
ity of one who has mastered It His
conclusions are invariably sound, andi
once ho has arrived at them, they are
proclaimed frankly und fearlessly, for
he is essentially n man with the cour-
age of Ills convictions.
For Instance, he hus been one of the
most drastic critics of President Wil-
son and the present Democratic ad-
ministration, arraigning them for their
tariff luw which bankrupted the fed-
eral treasury und which places the
American farmer, the American manu-
facturer, nml the American laborer nt
the mercy of foreign competition, and
for a foreign policy which has destroy-
ed the respect that tin* American flag
and American citizens once command-
ed in every quarter of the globe.
A Preparedness Pioneer.
Likewise Mr. Estabrook was the first
man prominently before the public to
outline a concrete program of national
defense, which lie presented lti un ad-
dress before tbe American Hankers’
Association (September 8th lust nt Heat-
tie, characterized by the Seattle Times
ns “ono of tho most rcniarkublo nd-
dresseB ever delivered In tho North-
west,” nnd he vvus the first Republican
leader to point the way to the reunion
and harmonizing of all elements of the
party, his “Oct-Together” plea before
Ihe McKinley Club of Omaha, Nebras-
ka, last October, having attracted wide-
spread attention.
From the time Mr. Estabrook open-
ed the Republican National catnpnlgn
In Chicago In IHlsi he has been recog-
nized ns one of the ablest campaigners
In the United Htntcs, nnd tbero have
been few speakers In grcatorMcniand.
