little boy, who acted as his clerk ourihE
the regular session. was now at schooi'
and he could not spare time himself from
his legislative duties to give the stand
the proper attention. His colleagues VIII

re-establisll his stand, but he wants 1t
distinctly understood that he Will not
permit this or any other outside matter
TO interfere with his official duties. His
constituents are pressing him TO De
candidate for reelection next fall. and
while he has not said he would do so, he
is known to have the matter under ad-
visement.
