Those old enemies. Tom McNeal ana
Ewing Herbert, met face to face at
Hiawatha Wednesday afternoon and
there was-nothing doing, except that
these two gents stood up together and
had their pictures taken. Tom called
around at the World Office as soon as
he arrived in town, but Herbert was
out. Later they met in the cours
house yard and shook hands. After ths
speaking they met again on the post
office corner where one of the news
paper men with the McNeal party had
them stand up together while he snap
per their pictures with kodak. They
stood up like David and Jonathan, the
tall man with the high nose and big
chin, and the short man with the bald
head When this picture is printed
the public can judge for itself which IS
the handsomer man of the two. McNeat
took Herbert over to the drug store
and treated him to cherry phosphate.
Their parting was an affecting scen9
but both bore up bravely

The congressman . did not mince
words in dealing with the charges
brought against him by LaFollette OF
the great booze state. wisconsin. He
declared they were the same ones cir
: culated by White and Tucker two years
ago and that they were gross dis

would be his pleasure to step down and
out of the Republican ranks and that
| If he could not be returned to con-
gress and renominated in the August

would never encourage the using OF q

r of the meeting and met large num-
: ber of people who assured him that
