look may say that the intelligence
illuminating the creatures face is of
the sort displayed bv a glowering
coyote, licking his chops in gIeeful
anticipation at prospect of a meal
prvided by some more powerful PROV
eSs. Also there are those who say
that Albaughs last full feed was on
the remains Of ". +. Stanley's polit-
ical ambitions. But these things are
untrue. Undoubtedly they are the
SANDER of those unable to appreciate
the motives which inspire the man.
IT is not credible that ne led Governor
Stanley to the political shaHnbles of
1908 and side-steDped into Chester I.
Longs herd as the ak was about to
shambles then Stanley only. was to
blame He has been punished for his
political Observation-Disclosures. Why
should the envious still try to fasten
the guilt to Stanley's -creature2
How much shorter might have
been Caesars span had Albaugh and
Cassius been of the same generationI
" J. II. BURROW."
e. r. Ridgely, who served two
terms in congress from the Third dis
trict as a Populist, is said to be han
kering after the fusion nomination
again now. He makes his home in
Crawford county.
Bent Murdock, who holds the belt
as the champion political prognosti-
L
Stubs will be elected United States
senator to succeed Burton. Murdoch
claims never to have missed a polit-
ical guess. Even last winter Just
after E. w. Hoch had stated positively
| that he would not become a candidate
for governor, Murdock continued to
prophesy that Hoch would be the next
governor. In speaking of Stubs.
MurdOck says:
HE will be a member of the next
| legislature from Wakarusa township,
Douglas county, may. be speaker of
the next house, and win be elected
senator to succeed Burton"
The nomination papers of A. NJ.
Harvey as the Democratic candidate
for congress in the First district have
been filed with the secretary Of state.
Some of the politicians have it all
l fixed up that Bent MurdOck is to be
president of the state board of chari-
ties under the Hoch administra ton.
All that is necessary is the confirma-
mitted that Colonel Murdock is en-
ton of Mr.. Hoch. Tt is generally ad-
titled to the pick of the pie. and there
/ has been some talk of giving him the
state printership if the next Iegisla-
ture can elect one. If Murdock should
succeed in becoming state printer il
would be his luck to have the same
! legislature put the Office on a salary
of about $4,000 a year instead of leav-
ing it on fees as at present.
| Walnut Valley Times s-Republican: The

/ Treasurer T. T. Kelly What a pity il
can not be administered, What traves-

and emOluments of the states officiary
! Shameless leaders and political tconspira.

states convicted senator. Burton, have

1 fact could be brought home to and b.
1 understood by every honest Republican
voter, Kelly, the eIflh4Eziaf, would bs
0verw helrningly defeated But he i,

4 honest voters TO scorch him and thus reg

4 but vote against him."
