The agreement of Platts lobbyist. odell.
to accept the gubernatorial nomination
from the New York State Republican Con-
vention, is excellent news, provided that
the Democrats shall lave sense enough to
put up a strong and clean candidate

thousand votes to Bryan and Stevenson.

Watching Marion Buner-The DEM


ocratic managerial eye is following the
movements of the Hon. Marion Butler
with very sharp keen interest these days.
The North Carolina statesman is Chair
man of the Fusfen Populists National
Committee. and he has summoned that
organization TO meet in Chicago next Mon
day. The sole object of the meeting is to
take action upon the withdrawal OF the
Hon. Charles a. Towne from the Sioux
Falls ticket. Senator Butler has been
going UP and down in the land ever since
he was bowled over in the North Carolina
election swearing all sorts of vengeance on
the Democrats He has discovered that the
Hon. Adlai Stevenson is not up to the
Butler plans and specifications for Vice
President. Wher- fore. declares Butler,
the vacancy on The Sioux Falls ticket
caused by the resignation of Towne must
be filed with the real article. For this
he is going to contend at the committee
meeting next week. and 1t is considered
to be not at all improbable that he will
carry his point. 1t is even suspected that
he will endeavor to induce his confreres
to do something that will infiict direct
injury upon Mr.. Bryan in States like
Kansas, Idaho. Wyoming, and Washing
ton.

Lawmaking Develops a Remarkable
Thirst

Tn1fSB
The United States Senate, fiippantly
referred TO by the irreverent as the
"millionaIres' club" cost the country
81, ,793, ,763 as to maintain last year,
The modest pay of the distinguished
body was but S4S3,7o7 go, but the
"incidentaIs" would be credit to war
correspondents account. Such mar
vellous capacity for lemons. mineral
water, loaf sugar and kindred luxuries
usually blended with cheering liquids
has seldom been found.
Each Senator presumably consumed
$4,000 worth OF "incidentals" during
the last fiscal year.
This subject is painful one to Repre-.
sentatiyes, for they had no contingent
fund.-"
During O le month, June, the Senators
got away with 46 boxes of lemons. A
half box of lemons, say 400 lemons a
month, for each Senator averages about
six lemons day. Six lemons will make
ten glasses Of lemonade or twelve
rI~keYs.
In one year 100 cases OF lithia water,
costing S72e.as, were used. Sugar to
the amount of a.sIo pounds were used
to sweeten the beverage at a cost Of
SI37s4. There was a rebate Of S37 for
100 empty bottlesreturned to the water
man.
Possibly it was an examination OF a
Senate report thst showed that I2o,6S5
pounds OF ice had been used by the
Senators in one winter month that
prompted song man to write "How
would you like to be the ice man"
Washington has a malarious climate
and auinlne Is furnished the Senators in
lob lots. Other guards to Senatorial
health and remedies for quaking nerves
and that tired feeling that are frequently
mentioned in the Secretary's report are
bromo seltzer, soda mint and pepsin.
The nation cuts the hair, shaves the
boards and blacks the boots of its
Senators.
