Republican legislature in Ohio, and now
that the third party has shown its

about; the government has offered to ex-
tend these bonds If the holders wished
them extended at per cent, but if they
didn't wish them extended they have
only to wait until they mature next

Congressman Kelly to succeed him il
in the Senate he said: "This is fire,
country; anybody can aspire to an,
office" 1t was apparent, however, tina
the Senator was in no ways alarmed OF
