! Maginnis. however, is in politics to
stay. and the anneuB eement was made
yesterday that he would resign his
( place with the company in order TO
/ make the race. aTaginnis is a patriot
and willing TO offer himself as a
! sacrifice on the altar Of country. It's
/ a wonder the Owl club didn't discover
! him before the Republicans did
In the case of the other two, some.

1t appears that some days ago the

| Hon. James Bulitho was present as q
spectator. Jim went there merely TO
look on and while he was looking and
listening. one of the members asked
him 10 state what he thought was the
proper thing to do in the matter.
Bolitho declined, saying he wasn't
there in the capacity of a member; just
a spectator and it would not be proper
fer him to say a word in connection
with the subject, but permit the people
to decide without interference. But
they insisted that Jim should talk So
he talked. He remarked that he did
not see any reason for the abandon
ment Of party lines. especially in a
small place like Bichf1eld. where the
people we're free from the Influences

To this the suave Bolitho replied that
he knew il was not right for him to
address the meeting. that he felt there
would be a clash if he ATTEMPTED to
air his views and express his senti-

house and James told them He in

against abandonment of party lines.
Boiitho thought this was story
enough and wrote an account which he
mailed the Tribune, and he and his
friends have been looking for an ac-
count Of it ever since.
But in future ne viii send his news
to The Herald, because the reason it
was held out is apparent. 1t was
straw showing the wind blowing in an
opposite direction from the wishes Of
the organ Of the Owl club.
