he had been doing that sort of thing all his

He has a set of tools which were made
especially for him. and his father has had a

the youngster can reach his Customers. be-
cause he is only four feet and odd inches

Is why Louis's father conceived the idea Of
utilizing all this youthful exuberance with

Mr.. Schneider believes that his idea Will
save the young hopeful many broken bones

CURED to nominate.
At the last convention the twenty-one del

somewhat alarmed at present. This alarm
is caused by a persistent rumor to the effect
that their candidate Is to be knitted In the

the delegates to the last convention, who
were supposed to be loyal supporters OF
McElhinney, are now offering to lay wagers
on Kiskadden.

this years vote Will be l32, 500 and that 49,
go names are enrolled. The impossibility
to guage the registration In advance makes
II almost impossible to foretell what the
real vote may be-
Ordinarily the vote should be as one to

casts a vote that is equivalent TO one out OF
four of the population. The vote In 1896 was

Ing to Mr.. Hoblitzelrs forecast the poll of
this year should indicate an increase Of
about 1890 over four years ago.
The primary lists Will be closed Saturday.
The voter who has not registered by that

primaries next month. Registrai lion Is in
