line Republicans said: 1.-The day has
passed when politicians can go to a
house be it in midday or at midnight
and get the dear voter out of bed to
buttonhole him. You have got to go
after the Office if you succeed" The
anti-square deal fellows must be get
ting worried, SO to speak, if they are
already holding secret caucuses, now
year in advance of any convention.
Both factions seem to be watching
each other as a chicken does a hawk.

he has kept out of politics. attended
strictly to law, and built up a fine
practice. in fact he is making more
money than he can get out of the SAL

fair to say that the friends of State
Senator l. d. Young of the Mitchell
Jewell district. claim that he has no
ambition to be governor. but at the

refuses to be a candidate for governor,
and at the same time he emphatically
says that there is no mortgage on him to
keep out of politics. In othel words. ex-
State Senator White is pretty apt to
come forward as a candidate for con-
gress- Had his foresight been as good
as his hindsiSht there are plenty who
believe he could have been the nominee
