tribesmen of this state out of the will
derness Of political chaos in which
they are wandering has been going up
from both the republican and demo-
cratic M for many weeks past.
The difficulty is thai the politicians

OF Moses they want. Senator Roots

controversy started by the Aids in

fore, while the smOuldeiing warfare
in the democratic field Is restrained
only by Il temporary truce. The death
of ex-senator Plat, though he had

SO chaotic 4 condition since the days
of the Observation-Disclosures war when
Plat followed the lead of Roscoe
Conkling in resigning from the senate
and gained the nickname of Me

case of this afflietion on record was
reported here this week. and experts
are now wondering how %preValent. it

rooster n uttering shrill notes which
sounded much like growing, he begged
the women in the audience. as they
emerged from the theater, to allow
him to be the bird on their chanticleer
hats. 1t was learned at the hospital
to which he was taken n when his
complaint was diagnosed under the

getting mad, to prevent their wives
from decorating their heads with a
collection of barnyard fowls.
