able. versatile and handsome. at which
the good d-Iooking district attorney
scowled fiercely. His resolution was in

deavors to secure the nomination Of

to be elected to Office on the sly, as it
were, but that when he came up the
second time he was before a jury that
. carefully weighed his past record. He
referred to. the presidential contest and
urged the utmost fidelity on the part Of
Republicans. He believes every man
: should do what he can to aid the party.
and illustrated his statement with a
good stor yen Tom LinvilIe. When Tom
! was shooting Denny pheasants in the
valley some months ago he discovered
: he was a mighty poor shot-a state
ment which is characterized as a base
sIander by the sheriff. However, Mr..
I. Allen went on to say Mr.. Linville made
the acquaintance Of hired man who
8 could shoot well. This hired man was
} a farmer, and the sheriff made a deal
with him whereby he would plow for
5 half day II the farmer would shoot
: for a similar period. In this manner
a Tom secured good bag of birds.
1 "And SO 1t should be with US. my
r friends" Mr.. Allen concluded. III
t you can't shoot very well, put your
e hand to the political plow. and help
J. the party all you can"

remarked, in an off-hand way. Il told
