WHEN United States Senator
Robert Taylor was announced
through the press and otherwise,
as "a part of the lyceum course
which would appear at the local
theater this season, few if any OF
those who read the announce
ments appreciated fully the
character OF the man. Since he
has come and gone wonder
ment arises as to why there are
not more Bob Taylol's in the
world.
Depicted in the man is the
same simple effectiveness that
posterity teaches US belonged in
dividually to the martyr, Abra-
ham Lincoln. One who can
speak of the gravest matters of
state and spring a joke at the
same time; who sees only the
beauty of life as it springs from
the lap of Nature as frolicksome
as child in the hey.day Of
youth. If the populace Of the
world could but perceive with
the same eyes as does Senator
Taylor the Joy of living the woes
that mankind are a kin to would
be forgotten, and only the beauty
of perpetual mortal Paradise
would remain to cheer and paci-
fly the eye Of man.

! Leader of Gooding that its state
ment, wherein it is alleged that
calling bad names and making
faces, aud that excessively, OH
the part of the drys, defeated
their cause, is misleading and
altogether untruthful. On tie
contrary their conduct OF the
campaign in this respect was
marked by the absence OF any
such childish devices. Again
Oh the contrary we call the
Leaders attention to the ribald
character of the wet meetings at
the Standard theatre, where
womanhood, the home and the
church were derided and un.
blushingly lampooned This
is not an extreme or intemper.
ate statement ola Thoroughly we'll
known fact. The speaker at one OF
these wetmeetings mimicked with
grotesque and exaggerated man
ner and gesture local ministers
in prayer and exhortation; de-
clared that in the event of dry
victory, "you will have here Mrs.
and her litter OF blind
pigs, this delicately turned
phrase referring to a. very we'll
known and much esteemed lady,
active for the drys, and through.
out the three weeks OF tension
similar public utterances issued
from wet agents. We challenge
any one TO indicate a single in.
stance here of personal abuse by
the dry element. And if the
Leader desires to be put right
in the matter we can assure it
that the vets won the election
here by sucn a very narrow
margin because such methods as
the above were employed, the
drys casting such a big vote by
reason of opposite methods.
This is the exact truth. The
Leader is merely lnisinformed,
that's all.
