Capital TaIes

A FTER quarter century Of service
~ in Congress, and at the age of
more than three-quarters of cen
fury, Colonel Pete" Hepburn of Iowa
has become a crank on the subject of
automobiles. The longtime chairman
and boss of the Interstate Commerce
Committee has gone back on the rail
roads completely, bought himself a big
touring car, and is doing all his trav-
cling in It,
Every now and then some enterprising
newspaper starts a canvas to discover
how many men are still living who
were delegates 10 the Republican ma
tional convention of 1860. which nomi-
mated Lincoln. Colonel Hepburn was
one Of them, and an active one. for he
was a lieutenant of John A Kasson.

ington, and who was one of the per-
sonsl representatives of Lincoln in that
convention. =
Colonel Hepburn has been constantly
in politics ever since 1860, save the four
years he was in the army When he
was defeated for the House last autumn
he announced that he was done with
politics. and would retire permanently
At that time his health was not very
goodi but II has improved immensely
ever since. Instead Of returning to his
hone in Clarinda. he has remained in
Washington since March 4, and has
been constantly around the Capitol
which he finds difficult to desert
Two summers ago Colonel Hepburn
went TO England and spent a summer
coaching. He got the notion then that
automobiling beat interstate commerce
aftalrs, and soon after he had retired
from Congress he bought fine big car,
IN which he has been doing Glidden
tours ever since He recently made a
trip from Washington to the important
old battlehelds Of the civil war in Vir-
glnia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, go

colonel HepbuTn's health has been so
eXCetlent Of late that folks who counted

TOM McNEAL4 OF Topeka is credited
/ around the cloak rooms Of the
House with firing the opening
gun Of the campaign of 1910 He has
come ont as a candidate for the Repub-
ican nomination for Congress against
Dan Anthony, and he has a platform
on which, in one form or another. al
most every member of the Kansas dele
cation who supported Cannon's re-
election is going to be opposed. Here
is the McNeal platform:
Let the Republican party, not the
manufacturers. write the tariff legisla-
ton.
Let US have a representative Of the
people. not Of Cannon or any other
Speaker.
Turn the Philippines loose and reduce
the army and navy.
Take the Government out Of partner
ship with whisky by quitting taxation
and licensing of the traffic
Reduce all the Government expenses.
McNeaI is now State printer He is
accounted the best platform taIker in

announces that he viii not spend cent

Anthony a hard fight. from all ac-
counts. The anu-Cannon issue viii be
