Hopkins is a Lucky Man.

After all the fuss that has been
made about the election of a sue
cessor to United States Senator Viii
liam +. Mason, the whole thing has
dwindled down 10 sure thing" for
Hopkins. The election was antici-
pated by the amusement seekers at
Il big show with tickets free gratis,
but il now promises to be the tamest
sort of an affair. Mason was out of
the race before il began. If he ever
WAS counted in IL he il now surely
counted among the also rams" What
chances Mason had have been eN-
ploded by his own frenzy and zeal
ouSy.
What the other senatorial candi-
dates really expect to get out of the
race remains to be seen. They may
like to see their names in print. They
may enjoy ridicule. 1t may be only a
cheap means of gaining little noto-
riety. Any other candidacy other than
that of Hopkins is developed in de
gree of absurdity that adds to the
poSitivenesS OF the election of ~ j.

Thomas b. Reed wanted to be presi-
dent and the failure to achieve the po-
.sition embittered his life. He drifted
into the intellectual attitude of the
Carl Schurtzes and the Charles Fran
els Adamses-the able. the disappoint-
ed. the cynical. Great intellectually.
Reed never could have been president.
He lacked the vital, personal touch
with the people so essential in can
didate- He cannot be clasSed with
Henry Clay or James q. Blaine. be-
cause Clay and Blaine were popular
idols. The republicans admired
Reed as the democrats hated him. The
people laughed at his witicisms and
repeated his jibes. But they never
loved the man personally as they
loved Mckinley. Reed was not low
able man.
