SENATORSH|P
IS THE PRIZE
Many Legislative Seats are
Likely to Be Contested
Shortly.
TACTICS OF BOTH PARTIES
Democrats Watching For Coup on the
Part of Republicans Who Are
Contesting Election.
TACTICS OF BOTH PARTIES

The fact that a United States senator
is to be chosen at the next session of
the legislature will lead to number of
eonests for election in both houses, it
is believed. Already several contests
for election have been filed in different
parts Of the state by defeated demo-
cratic candidates for the house, and at
least some of these have been filed
under the direction of the democratic
state organization, which, it is said,
wishes to protect itself from any po-
litical schemes in the senate.
In the senate the republicans will
have the majority. and therefore will
have the advantage in seating members
Of that body. One of the possibilities
that has been considered by the demo-
Gratis is that the republicans, taking adj
vantage of their majority, will temper
arily seat enough republican members
in the senate to cut a big figure in
electing United States senate-pos-
sibly enough to throw the United States
senatorship to the republicans Color Is
given to this theory by the fact that
the election of the three democratic
candidates for state senator in Marion
county has been contested.
To Offset Senate Gains.
! To meet any such emergency as the
wholesale unseating of democrats in
the senate, the democratic state or
ganization, it is understood is getting
ready to look after its interests in the
house. In the house the democrats are
in the majority, and, of course, the adj
vantage the democrats would have in
seating their members in that branch
would equal those of the republicans
in the upper branch. If then, the re-
publicans should attempt to seal
their members to affect the senator
ship election. the democrats would at
tempt to seat temporarily enough Of
their members in the house to offsei
/ the action of the republican senate.

WASH FOR HAIR.

To clean the hair IN the winter make
mixture of one cup of unsifted corn
meal, one-half cup of shaved magne-
STA and one tablespoonful of salt Stir
until thoroughly blended and heat in
a tin pan. When warm rub thorough
~ through the hair and over the scalp.
With a hair brush begin brushing out
the mixture. When the hair is al
most free from the preparation make
second application. Brush this out;
then go into the yard and toss the
hair with the hands to free it from
every particle of dust. The fine comb
should be used to collect the dandruff
and dust from the scalp. A very oily
head of hair can be beautifully cleaned
in this manner In washing a cfild's
head, the work can be done in hall
the time IL few drops OF kerosene
are added to the suds. The oil does
not injure the scalp and is beneficial
I to the hair.

cunning forgery of notes and real es-

tending over a period of eighteen
years. The genuine paper and securi-

Unable to Meet Demands.
!. For nearly two decades he managed
to liquidate the fraudulent paper when
it fell due and in that way avoided ex-
posure, but recently he became unable
to meet the demands of this endless
chain, and, despairing of further i'm
munity, confessed his guilt to two
friends he had swtndled It Is esti-
