THE MYSTIC TWELVE.

Up to the present time twelve re-
publicans, including our own King
and Gellatly, have been toying with
congressional lightning in this third
district. These aspirants represent
varying grades Of political texture,
ranging from the stand pat to the
progressive types. Some of them.
however, would have their constitu-
ents understand that they don't want
any fanciful names appended to their
pedigrees-they are just ordinary
republicans. Like the makers of ia
nous old Kentucky blends, they OBJ
ject to this new tangled political
pure food designation which seeks
to make them stamp the ingredients
on the label.
In all probability one of these
twelve will draw down lightning
from the political skies. 1t would
be unfortunate, however, if like the
renowned twelve of Apostolic days,
this one should prove to be devil

op that he is a democrat or has even
been a democrat, not because there
is anything intrinsically wrong in
being a democrat, but because a
democrat in republican clothes some
times seriously interferes with the

who feed at the public crib.
There is danger at the present
time, owing to the tests of regularity
which are being imposed by those
who are pressing the question of

the tail Of Halley's comet in its wan
behring's through space. In this in
stance it is perhaps better for those
who see that they are getting their
wires crossed to get a republican
bottle with blown in stamps and
not rely on one which has only a
cussed label that is easily washed
off. Then they will know where
they are at If the political comet
takes a twister at them with it's tail
