Stanley Quay is as much Of a national character
as any other United States Senator, 1t doubtless
will interest a few millions OF American citizons
of all political faiths. including the few Mug
wumps or half breeds who yet remain to fret,
fume, and scold like hucksters in o fish market,

successor to Senator Quay; that Quay has boldly
announced his candidacy for another torn; that
he intends carrying his fiery cross into every
county In the State; that he invites a popular
expression Of the peoples choice at the primn-
ries for Senator. and that he will call especially
upon the mon in blouscs md shirtsleeves to
rally round the Quay standard.
Quay's great strength Is Of q throefold char

has no organized opposition,
