paigned the district thoroughly, but
the captains friend did not seem to be
getting anywhere. He complained to
the captain, and the future land COM
missioner decided to go on little pri-
vate tour of investigation. He went
ali over the district inquiring Of the
farmers their objection to his friend.
They were suspicious and hesitated
long before giving any reason. but 1t
finally began to leak out.
This friend Of mine." said the cap
tain, was a particular kind Of cuss.
He washed his face and combed his
hair In the morning. washed and comb

1t, but when Investigated began to
find that therein lay the objection to
my friend. The voters thought he was
too fussy. talked and reasoned with
them. but 1t was no use. When the
election came on the poor fellow was
swarnped. He hardly got a vote. His
washing and combing defeated him.
