An easy example is seen in the case

were once called coaly dogs because
OF their coal black markings. An ex-

Booming Jones for Senator.

a boom has beer started for Com

States Senator to succeed Senator
Ankeny. Many other booms have been
started. but the Jones boom is said to
be in dead earnest and is meeting with
great encouragement throughout the
state. Most of the other candidates
spoken of to succeed Senator Ankeny
have been men of wealth, but Jones is
conceded to have nothing except his
salary out of which he has lived quietly
and unostentatiously. He has shown
his capacity ard adaptability for con-
gresslonal in "A manner that has placed
him high among the members Of both
branches of Congress. He has also
managed his political affairs in the
