The Week

This article presents brief information, related to political developments in several nations. The Supreme Court of Indiana has brought up the State Legislature with a round turn. At its last session the Legislature desired to amend the Indiana Constitution. The success with which the republican Government in Portugal has hitherto met Royalist attempts at invasion from Spain shows plainly that the majority of the Portuguese people is enlisted in support of the new regime. The danger from the Royalist forces is by no means over, but up till now the expected uprising of the peasants against the republic in conjunction with the monarchist invaders has not taken place. The call for U.S. presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt's new party is cast in the traditional form of the revolutionary manifesto. It has its list of grievances and its appeal to eternal principles.
