SHORT POLITICAL NOTES

The Candidates for political favors are
now on the home stretch and it will be
but few days before they learn whet-
her they are to have place upon the
ticket or whether their rival has been
more successful.
Some rather sharp campaigning is be-
ing INDUCED in by would-be senators
and representatives, and several disap-
pointments are not unlikely and few
new faces will be seen at the state cap
itol in January.
Perhaps the candidates are anxious
that the primary campaign is soon to
close. It is verp certain that the gen
eral public will be pleased when they
get chance to go down the street with
out being solicitor to support some par
ticular candidate.
Remember primary election day Sept
ember 9th. followed by theigeneral elect
ion In November.
