Sioux City today on his way home to do
some work in his own behalf III the con-
test between him and Congressman

me then, tho at that time he was not
senator. Still he had the supposed con-
troll of the party's machinery. .
CT feel that I have the people of the
state with me in this fight against cor
porate control, and with the people I
can and will win. 1 will remain in
South Dakota probably until the rail
road rate bill is called for a vote, when
I will return to- vote for it.
II voted for the ship subsidy and l
am not ashamed Of my vote. The ship
subsidy has bene declared for by repub-
lican: national conventions for the last
twelve years, and is strictly a republi-
can measure as we'll as an administra,

will vote for it again.

CLOTHES NOTES OF A
NEW YORK CLUBMAN

Last evening the matter OIL
clothes came up for discussion at
the club, suggested by the ap-
proach Of Easter.
The opinions advanced resulted
in a spirited argument. At the
conclusion of observations made
by two or three of the clubmen,
Peter Nicholson launched into
a talk on the subject Of clothes
that proved highly edifying and
instructive. He first divided the
men who wear clothes into two
classes
First-The ultra rich, who can
afford to pay from $75 to 500 for
a business suit.
Second-The greater majority,
whose incomes range from $500
to $4,000 a year, who must con-
fine their expenditures for clothes
to business suits and overcoats
that vary in price from SIS to $50.
He then divided the makers of
clothes into three classes
.First-The few very exclusive
to-order tailors whose position as
arbiters Of styles justifes in a
measure their excessive charges.
Second-The great mass Of me-
diocre custom and manufacturing
t~ailors whose products RI want
ing in distinction and character.
Third-The very few manufac"
turing tailors who emulate the ex-
elusive to-order tailors.
All the club members within
hearing saw the force of this argu-
ment, especially when Nicholson
asked consideration for the
clothes he was wearing-they
bore the label Of
