-s"THE WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN is
worrying over the fact that Roger O.
Mills has left his seat IN congress to
electioneer in Wisconsin. Don't fret,
Brother Norris, Reed will count him
| just the same. ''-JuoeGu Telephone.
Roger @. will never admit that he has
been absent from his seat in congress
making speeches IN Wisconsin for the
Democratic "idee" now is that a mem
Der when in his seat in the house of 1e-
representatives. is absent, from which it
follows that a member absent is pre-
sent, sort of supernatural circumlocu-
ton principle that is possessed only by
our Democratic friends in congress.
-Ameng the delegates to the Demo
cratic Senatorial convention held in
this city last week, was Robert Kirk
land, of Jefferson. The proceedings of
the convention were enlivened by a
ten minute speech by Bob, in which
! he declared himself an out and out
free-trader. More honest and out
spoken than most Democrats, Bob
dares call spade a spade, and says
that the Democratic cry of tariff re-
form" means no more nor less than
free trade. Bob is liable to be disci-
plined by the party managers, who do
not believe in such bold and truthful
utterances.
