If the Inter MonntaiH has the right
of it there are five prominent repub-
lican candidates for the senatOrShip
across the range, with the west side
still to hear from. These are Sanders.
Eaton. Power. lIershticld and Carpea-
ter. The list makes nO reference to
republicans who may he in the field but
who are not prominent" candidates.
of these five. the Inter .NDunt0iH says
they are statesmen and patriots every

Reading the comments of the Inter.
MouUfdiH. one regrets to find hat il is
disposed to let the east side have the
whole snap. yet i'm its earlier paragraphs
il mildly suggests that honOrs really
ought to be easy and that each side of
the range ought tn have the naming of

There are those who say there is

anything about.
John Wanamaker il no SLOUGH when
