Maine, becomes president protein OF
the senate and will discharge all du-
ties OF the vice president as presid-
ing officer of that body. The senate
rules specifically provide that no
election is necessary at the begin
ming OF the session. Naturally Frye
accordingly will continue as presid-
ing officer until the end OF President
McMinley's administration unless he
chooses to resign, or the senate wish
es to elect another senator to the OF
flee.
A curious coincidence OF the death
Of Vice President Hobart is found In
the fact that of the six vice presidents
who have died in office, four died
within a few days OF the same day oi
the monthin the year Of their deaths,
the death of Hobart being the 2lst OF
Nov, 1899. that of Mr.. Wilson on
the 22nd OF Nov. 1875, that OF FL
bridge Gerry, Nov. %, 1914, and that
Of Hendricks, Nov. 25. 1885. The
other two vice presidents who died
in Office were Clinton and King. The
former died April 20, 1912, and the
latter April IL, 1858.

NOT MUCH OF A VICTORY.
II Looks More as Though HoIcomb Won
the Day Than Bryan.

That Nebraska victory the Demo-
Gratis have been glorifying 80 much
seems not to be such stunner after
all. Judge Holcomb seems to have
won quite personal victory, and
has good majority. or the two
other Democrats on the same ticket
with him one will have about 5000
majority, while the other is probably
defeated. These nominees were for
regents OF the state university. Ev-
cry Demo-Pop paper In that state
was boasting that now they had the
state university In their clutches.
The Omaha World-Herald made a
speciality OF this boasting. What the
Demo-Pops wish to do with the uni
versity it is hard to tell. With one
OF their candidates defeated they will
not have control of that institution.
So much the better for the uniyer-
sity.-Helena Herald.

tion of Professor Dudley r. Cowles as
