Henry NJ, Whitney is going to make

one of the characters in "Frenzied
Finance" Mr. Whitney's hobby in
politics has been tariff reform, and
on that issue he came near being
chosen lieutenant governor two years
ago.
A year or so ago he went to Wash
ington and called on President Roose-
welt to voice the demand of Massa-
chusetts tariff revisionists for GER
tain lines of action. Afterwards he
gave out some statements relative to
things he said the President had told
him he favored, and a forcible deni-
al from President Roosevelt followed.
That started the famous 'Ananias
Club" and likewise stirred up much
of the trouble about tariff revision of
which Massachusetts has been the
center
Senator Lodge is fighting with all
his power to force the tariff and all
national issues to the rear, on the
ground that they have no place in
purely state campaign.
The republican contention, voiced
by Mr.. Lodge, is that there is plenty
to talk about in what pertains to the
conduct of the State government and
that the tariff issue has been raised
to befog the situation. 1t is expected
that the national administration will
lend its influence in every way it can
to defeat the election OF Whitney be-
cause of the personal enmity between
the latter and President Roosevelt
and the knowledge that Whitney's

No day was too stormy for Senor

stern, strong, interesting face. Some
times he rode, but more often he

WICHITA GIRL, GIVEN UP
TWICE FOR DEAD, LIVES.

Wichita, Kan, July 10.-After be-
ing an invalid for three years and
apparently dead twice in two days,
Eula Wilson the 15-year-old daugh-
ter of Bailey Wilson, of Wichita,
arose from her bed the third day
completely cured of all diseases, ac-
cording to statements made by the
girl and by her mother. DR.. A. o.
Burton, who attended her and pro-
nounced her dying, says he cannot
understand her remarkable recovery,
as he believed she could not live.
Eula tells of a vision she saw while
supposed to be dead. She says she
was conscious of an ascending mo-
tion, and that She was borne to
heaven on white cloud, attended by
angels. She also told of meeting
there people she had known in Butler,
Mo-, three years ago.
Six hours after she was first be-
lieved dead, she revived and was
semi-conscious for day. Then she
was again apparently dead, and all
arrangements had been made for the
funeral. About ten hours later she
was fully recovered.
