in Tacoma last fall, Mr.. Maheney was
candidate for county coroner and stood
good chance of being elected. He was
genial, wbole-souled man and had hosts
of friends in the far-west town. The de-

to do so'' This was reproduced in the
last issue OF The IRISH sGSrANDARD with
the following comment: ''The Herald At
tributes Pats success in making money
and acquiring more land every year to
the benefits of the protective tariff. 1t

this item meets his eye it is hoped he
will give his recipe for becoming rich TO-
the farmers of the state" The Herald
sincerely hopes that Mr.. Brennan will ae-.

to the back bone and not only has the
facts at his command to sustain his posi-.
ton but has the ability to present them
in fcrcib]e and convincing manner.
The IRISH STANDARD will find that it has
''run up against buzz saw" when 1t
tackles Mr.. Brennan on the tariff question:.

grander nature even than it's predecessor.
