Murdoch has a superb suit Of red

in the field. and one Of them also had
red hair. So Murdoch went to him and
struck q bargain. Il was agreed that
the two should make their canvass on
the red-headed issue, and that at an
opportune moment the weaker Of the
two should withdraw from the race in
favor OF the other. Murdoch then set
at Il. He made q Whirlwind campaign
on the cry that the red-headed men
ought to- be- represented In congress.
He quoted statistics to show thst one
man out Of ten had q red head. and
that proportion did not hold in con-
gress. He made an impregnable case
on that issue, and the other red-headed
man followed suit The novelty Of the
canvass caught the fancy Of the dis
trict, and when At the psychological
moment the other. who was found to
