So Mr.. Morconi erected a wireless tele-
graph pole. and presently the wireless
operators on midocean steamships were
aware Of the fact. that the only place
on the Geep blue sea was Nantucket. The
press agent had a vague idea that there
was a FUN column and half somewhere
around that telegraph pole.
Several weeks ago Miss Calland re-
turned 70 her island home, and started
10 train scarlet runners on that teie-
graph pole. The scarlet runners died.

WRIGHT'S METHODS
ANNOY REPUBLICANS
Candidate Sighted Leaders in Naming
His Campaign Committee.

''Will we win?" asked a leading Re-
publican politician of the city yester-
day to query as to Republican pros
poets in the city election.
will We win? Of course we won't
win. How can We expect to get the
full Republican strength when the
entire party management has been
turned over to one faction of the party
in st. Paul?
Did you ever know Of a candidate
for mayor, or, in fact, for any other
important office, turning the manage
ment of his campaign over to none but
representatives of one political crowd
But that Is just what Col. Wright has
done. He had a great deal to do with
the selection of the committeeman, in
the natural order of things. His per-
sOnal wishes were allowed to govern
whenever there was a question be-
tween two men. He cast the deciding
vote, as It were. What did he do?
Everybody knows what he did. He
named a committee composed of none
but followers of one political leader
in Ramsey county. The leaders of the
other larger and stronger faction were
either silently ignored or unfeelingly
relegated to the rear. It is not human
nature to stand this sort of treatment,
and, while I will not say that these
leaders will bolt Wright and his asso-
ciates on the ticket, the pencil, when
they go to make the crosses after
names will Wabble sOme."
