The philosophical Minnesota senator little

his bill of last winter, that he was making

The election of Judge Post to the supreme
court IN Nebraska recalls an incident i'll his
early career that seems to point to him as a
favored child of Fortune. Judge Posi- is
strong advocate of temperance, personal and
otherwise. But it is a trife singular that he
owes his first political boost to Nebraska
youth far too prone to look long. lovingly
and yearnfuiiy upon the rosy. 1t is some
twelve or thirteen years since Judge Post
was young. struggling attorney in the little
town of York, Neb. In this capacity he was
chosen delegate to the Republican judicial
convention ut Columbus. There were two
candidates for district judge, one in Column
county, with its three delegates, held the bal
ance of power. as by voting steadily for the
Columbus man, who was warmly supported
by young Post, tie was kept up for several
hundred ballots. On the second day one of
the Merrick county delegates gave out, left
his proxy with the young man whose strong
pehchant was spoOpju, and went home. On
the third day another Merriek county dele
gate threw up the sponge, drew out of the
excitement, and Spoopju remained solitary
and alone, casting his three ballots dead
against the Grand Island candidate. The
hoarse cry of the president of the conven-
ton, No election; tellers will pass The hats"
became monotonous. Vigorous assaults were
made upon opoopju by the Grand Islanders,
but he remained lnnexible.

The Grand Islanders readily agreed to this
but the liquid concession to his little foible
failed to mOllfy him 10 the degree necessary
to secure his three votes for the Grand Island
lawyer. Spoopju was elated; Grand Island
depressed. on the fourth day all the dele
gates favorable to Columbus held a caucus.
Spoopju was with 'em.
You'll stay with us if we spring a new

grit, Rosewater's advice ana bug juice had
given Lawyer Post big lift in this world;
and if he ever forgets the political services
of the faithful Spoopju he will prove that
supreme judges. as well as republics, can be
terribly ungrateful.

The late election was a severe blow to Jerry
Simpson. personally as well as politically.
Previous to the cataclysm Jerry was in receipt
of 500 per week for a crude style of cam
paign speeches that, judging from the results
in Kansas and elsewhere, were as iuefi-
cacious as they were crude. For Jerry there
is nothing left per week but his S95 congress
sional salary and S57 from his bountiful har-
vest.
