roller chair and 10-cent seat MONOPOLY
at the worlds fair. Maybe he is and
maybe he isn't II he is, what of it &?
hasn't congressman a right to en-
gage IN private enterprises New
Richland Star. This was Senator
Burton's view of it and it is the view

his impedimenta so that he may be
able, at the important juncture, to
pass through the eye of a needle

Some Republican editors are hint
ing that other Republicans are get
ting money for supporting certain gu
bernatorial candidates, and this &C
counts for the boys going to st. Paul
to get their ears to the ground and
their abdomens to the trough.-St.
