game a Mckinley club. 1t was moved
by one delegate that the club be named
Lincoln" 1t did not get a second, and
the motion was lost. In Minnesota Lin
coin is thought enough of to make his
birthday a legal holiday. Perhaps these
Helena Republicans Gid not agree with
Mr.. Lincoln in the declaration made in
speech before his election to the presi-
dency:
What constitutes the bulwarks of our
liberty and Independence? 1t is not our
browning battlen2ents, our brlstling sea-

ex-mayor), OF, Toledo: ''f1e is simply a
crank, but ne is a moral crank, and that
makes the thing worse, for he believes
what he says" Are we to infer from
this that Hanna says one thing and does
another.
1t is claimed by Capt" Van SAINTS
advocates that he will make a good gov
