H-NRY G-G-Whew! I'm glad It Is all
over; my tank of magnetism is almost ex-
hausted. It was a fearful strain, trying
to keep Waters from pulling out Davis
hair! And Henri and John Dough! My.
My! That was job! Spreck said he'd be
San Diegoed IL he'd oil Michael Henrfs
new machine. and Henri. why he had reg
ular Midwinter chill when Herrin and I
told him he would have to kiss and make
up with Spreck. He scratched the scar
left by Spreck's bullet and said he'd rather
wait another four years for the senate.
But M, Henry, I mean is 'amenable
to the right kind Of reason, and we gave 1t
to him.
CH-RL- W-LL-RD-But, CO, do you
really imagine our people will stand for
Mike Henri, for senator. after having
their desires set on the great mind Of
Bulla? Why. at the last meeting Of the
Sunset club Bulla read a delight
fully deadly, dignifed paper Of two
hours and a half pages on the
principles Of the constitution. Bulla
is certainly the man for the place, but you
and Uncle have spoiled all that, for a
senator made near Paris" I have not
had very long experience as a Republic
do as you are told and swallow the pro-
gram whole, so I'll do 1t. There never was
such a perfect machine as this; why, ever
since the. convention opened the wheels

Johnny Mur's locomotives, we'll oiled. on
the straight track and down grade to Santa
Monica; you want to remember. though,
Henry. to put on the air before your ma
chine takes you over the cliff. Stop at the

Why, Henry. before I left Los Angeles
was in Laux's getting glass of Vichy,
when Col. Bob Northam came in to buy
some chewing gum. I asked him If he was
going to the convention to help you.
"Help Hennery? he said; why. If you
knew anything more about politics than
what you learned in that kindergarten
League Of yours you would know he don't
need any help. He's nominated now. That
was all fixed in Herrin's office two months
ago. Nav! I amt going. They don't need
workers there; that machine will run IT.

G-G-Did Bob say that? He's wise guy.
that fellow. He knows too much. I'll
make him commissioner to the Paris ex-
position, or better vet, appoint him trus-
tee at whittier; then he'll have to keep
quiet and take care of his own troubles.
J-DG- CL-RK-Well, you fellows seem all
happy; but where do I come in?
BILL D-NN-You don't come In; you go
out. Did you dream for a moment that we
were geezers enough to put you on the SUI
preme bench? You'd better break your
pipe Herrin saw, first time he took terra
pin with you UP at the club, that he could
not tie to you; you want support all right.
all right, but you're too blooming honest
to make any return for 1t. You're not our
kind of people for the supreme court. You
can keep on making anti-railway deci-
sions all you please up in Department two.
but when 1t comes to the last guess you've
got to be white chip. So run along home
and go to one Of Mac Gowan's pink tea
parties and you'll feel better. And don't
let Hood and Ainsworth stuff you with any
more promises Of what the railway will
do for you; they're both false alarms.
There's only one Republican party In this
state, and he is Herrin and I'm his
prophet, see? Ia, ia. Give my love to So
ciety.
G-Y B-RH-M-Well, now that you fell
lows have closed UP the show. I must get
along home to prepare to open the other
horse show. There's just one man on your
ticket who will be elected. and that Is Guy
Barham's uncle. I'll bet you four high
collars. Henry. to last summers red
