MAJ. G. W. Halves has a note from
Hon. 4. K. Talbot, one Of the board
Of directors of the Woodmen order.
stating that he was renominated
by reclamation for state sena-

urday. If the senator is as good a
legislator as he is a Woodman direc-
tor, his future is assured. We have
too high an admiration for the man
to discuss his politics, and the most
disparaging thing that can he said of
him on this score is that he is not as
good as his illustrious professional as
sociate.
