A "New Saying.

National Committeeman Harry s
New says he believes all the editors
of weekly papers in Missouri are
Republicans. Il have already re-
oeived 400 applications for tickets
from the country editors Of that
grand old state" he said and this
certainly looks encouraging. Mis-
SCUM will SWING into line one OF
these days, when these modest ed
ucators get in their r,ork on the vo-
ters."
They are not quite all Republic
cans but they will wish they were
in a few years more. When the
great ocean flood of Republican
votes over flow the state this fall
there will be more tails Topping
over to the Republican side than
you can shake a stick at. There
will be not a few sharks among
them.
