AS to the congressional elections, the
democrats are now laying claim to another
republican district the fifteenth, now rep
resented by H. c. Van Voorhis. The re-
publicans have nominated there Beman G.
Dawes of Marietta. There was a bitter
fight over the nomination, and in one
county of the district. Guernsey, it Is still
going on. Dawes will lose republican votes
no doubt, but hardly enough to give the
district to the democrats. At the last cleo
ton Van Voorhis was elected by only LOCO
votes. 1t is upon this small plurality that
the democrats are basing their claim to the
district. But the fact is that when Mr. Van
Voorhis was candidate he had a consider
strong a one as that which is opposing Mr..
Dawes. fighting him. When there is fair
party fight in the district the republicans
carry it by about 5000. The Dawes opposi-
ton will hardly be able to wipe that out.
Beyond all question the democrats will
recapture the thirteenth district The lat
est news from the third district, now rep
resented by R. NJ. .Mevin, republican indi-
Gates that the democrats will come close to
carrying 1t. The result in the republican
sixth district depends largely upon the de-
cision of the supreme court in the contest
between Hildebrand and Scroggy for the
republican nomination. This district, the
twelfth, will probably see the closest fight
of the congressional elections in Ohio 1t
goes first one way and then the other
in congressional elections Representative
ID. G. Badger, who has been nominated
for second term by the democrats, is very
popular and good vote getter but the re-
publicans have nominated against him Ed
ward L. Taylor, an able and popular young
attorney, and are confident of electing him.
The republican district chairman estimates
that the district will give President Roose-
welt a record republican plurality McKin-
ley carried it in 1896 by over 5000. If Pres
ident Roosevelt can beat that it will mean
the election of Taylor to Congress.
At the republican state headquarters now
they are estimating the republican plural
tty in the state this fall at 10000

day for the purpose OF gaining entrance
to Za-Ga-Zig temple and the shrine of
Observation-Disclosures, caliph of Bagdad,
he was besieged with eager strangers
who desired to know his cure for race
suicide.
E. w. Sorber is the mayor who issued
an edict, shortly after he entered upon
the duties OF his Office, requiring that
every girl of manageable age in the
balliwick Of Gowrie propose during leap
year or pay heavy fine. The proclama-
ton created sensation. Old maids
who had lived alone for years turned a
bilious green and said all manner Of
things about the mayor. But there was
more to the edict than the mayor sup

1T was joke, of course it was. Some
people in the town thought it was in

papers were what got me into trouble
A man came out from Chicago and wrote
it all up, then the st. Paul and New York
papers took it up and the letters COM

have been coming to me from girls, grass

Il can't say what effect the ukase has
had on our little village. The other day
an old man married widow-I don't
know whether she proposed or not.
There have also been half dozen other
weddings in our city recently. Can't
say the women did the proposing be-
cause they were afraid of being fined,
but they are married-that's all that is
necessary"
And the mayor of Gowrie went on to
tell about some of the correspondence
and some of tee proposals which he had
received as result of his attempt to
make the home newspaper more inter-
esting. He shook noticeably as he men
toned going into the Shrine, for, being
a modest man, he had some queer fears
and anticipations, which made him col
tect his thoughts with a great deal Of
effort. On the way here from Des
Moines he had been handcuffed to an
other mans wife and then her husband
had been called, placing him in the most
embarrassing position imaginable, and
the thought of again returning to such,
a position, or anything like it, made the
old man walk the floor restlessly, and
be probably wished he was in his quiet
little city, answering correspondence or
planning for the big street fair and car,
nival which will be pulled OFF there soon.
