MANN FACES FIGHT
FOR ANOTHER TERN
Treasury Watchdog" From
Illinois to Be Opposed
By An Insurgent.

Representative James r, Mann Of IL
linois, famed as the "chief obiector''
of the House and also noted as a
Treasury Watchdog" faces serious op-
position for the Republican renomina-
ton back in Chicago.
Mr. Mann's probable opponent is wal
ter Clyde Jones, leader Of the Illinois
Senate. author Of the Illinois primary
law and progressive. Should Mr.. Jones
come to Congress ae might be OF val
liable aid TO the insurgents.
Mr.. Jones will make his fight on the
issue of Cannonism and the House rules.
He took a decided interest in the recent
rules fight IN the House and doesn'
like the way Representative Mann voted,
as is his custom. with the organization.
The probable candidate is now in Wash
ington looking over the situation, his
gaze being directly planted upon a seat
on the middle aisle of the lower chamber,
in which Dir. Mann sits when he is not
making a point Of order or participating
in debate.
Representative Mann has been in the
House since the Fifty-fifth Congress and
IS one OF the most faithful of the Speak
ers floor ieutenarts- Aside from this
he is an indeiatiga0le worker and never
when i'll. He is perhaps familiar with
the text of more bills than any other
member Of the body.
He was elected by an overwhelming
ma jority over Democratic opponent 20
the present Congress.

now be obtained in every town of con-
sequence.
No preparation for the hair has done
so much to stop falling hair and eradi-
cate dandruf and make women's hair
beautiful as Partisan Sage.
Parisian Sage IS the only certain de-
stroyer of the dandruff microbe which is
the cause of 90 per cent Of hatr trouble.
These pernicious. persistent and de-
structive little devils thrive on the ordi-
nary hair tonics.
Partisan Sage is such an extraordi-
nary and quick acting rejuvenator that
Henry Evans. who is the agent in
Washington, guarantees 1t to cure dan

Partisan Sage is most daintily per-
fumed, it is an ideal preparation, not
sticky or greasy.
1t is a magnificent dressing for women
who desire luXuriant, lustrous hair that
compels admiration
And a large bottle OF Partisan. Sage
