CONGRESSMAN HANDY is very anxious
shat the Single Takers should place his
name on their ticket for Congress, but
even this will not give him enough votes
to defeat Mr.. John II. Huffecser for Con-
gross IN November With u united parry
there Is no question of AIR. HofTccker's
s'ectlon. Mr. Handy is undoubtedly wor-
Fled more This campaign than he was two
years ago. Then he had Two Republican
tickets in the field against him; thi, war
no has only one Republican ticket against
MIN and winning one at that He can
already res hi, nu.sh. He will lose one of
the best things he ever had when he drous
back again into private life.
