tralia. These are the things that tell.

deeyly interested. Already the issues
are being discussed and the two great
parties are preparing for the first
moves. You will not want to miss any
details, and if you subscribe now your
years subscription will cover the
campaign from beginning to end.
The Thrice-a Week World is abso-
lutely fair in political news. Partisan
bias is never allowed to effect is news
columns, and Democrat and Republi-
can alike can obtain in its pages
truthful accounts of all the great polit-
ical contests
In addition to all the news, the
Thrice a. Week World furnishes the
best serial fiction, elaborate market
| reports and other features of interest.
The Thrice-a- Week World S regular
