The smallest delegation came from
Marion and Wyandot counties. These
counties having no candidates were
free 10 do as they pleased. But
neither county need feel ashamed OF
the showing II made. The change,
however, was noticeable, for each
delegate seemed 10 show in his fea-
lures that he realized the power he
held IN his pocket IN the form OF
credentials and each knew that each
candidate would be willing to give
him y postofrlce for that vote.

AN ALLITERATIVE ALLEGoRY

Serene Susanna sits beside the stream,
Where timid trout are trying TO attain
The gourmet glory OF the golden CLEAN
or flies for which the foolish fish are
fain.
She baits her bended barb and bends her
back
To train the tempting tidbit In the tide.
or lively leaps there Is lasting lack.
But blteless beauties boldly there abide.
At last the lass, alas, allured by love
OF angling avid In the ancient art,
Outbouds the brooslets beetling blur
above
And strains her strength the struggling
stunt TO start.
Susanna slips so slick the slimy sod
She smtcs the surface with a smoth
cred shrek.
She weighs three hundred pounds. and
by the rod,
She splashos all the hshes from th'

tained In the petition.
The plaintiff prays that the de-
PENDANT be enjoined from in any
