THE Fight ON HEPBURN

Senator Hepburn having chosen for his political manage
Addison Smith finds himself the hands of gentleman
OF great snoothnes and ingenuity evidently being at
tracted by that strange tie in human nature which oppo
sites possess each other The rugged frank and o
Heyburn totally disaned by the smooth and
nsnuang Smith and there great danger that the senator
looking through Smiths eyes will underestimate his enemies

TO Pacae these bosses instead of relying upon the over
whemng strength OF the people The game is one which
Just suits the ringsters They keep up an outward
appearance OF friendship for the senator while con

the game to continue long enough he will and himself
confronting legislature as hostile the Wallace converl
