c., Jan. 10, says: 1t appears that the
grave and reverend United States
senators are not entirely free from
superstittou5 notions. Some Of them
seem to regard Senator Reagan as a
nJonah, - or, as is technically called in
some western localities, a "hoodou." ita
The Texas senator has a habit OF
making himself at home In any seat
on the Democratic side Of tho house
except his own The custom OF rowing
about the chamber and planting him.
self wherever fancy or comfort suggests
may proceed from the fact that his own
seat is one the ieast desirable In the
senate However, II is asserted that
bad luck follows the owner Of any
seat for which Reagan tipanifests a
fancy, and the evidence of the ili-lucl

When VOORHEES, went 10 Indiana to
