The Continental company was or

The company has patents which

On train going to Cleveland few
weeks ago. there were six men beside
myself in the smoking compartment
of Pullman car. The ventilation
was about as free as Noah had in the
ark. But that has nothing to do with
the subject under discussion The
six We're all strangers to me-all
loquacious and all talking politics
One gentleman announced himself as
having been "a lifelong republican.
He said loudly. that he had never
voted democratic ticket in his life.
But" he added, with much en-
phasis. I'm going to vote for Harmon
for governor this year"
In turn every one of the other men
in the compartment made the same
declaration and they wound ii up by
shaking hands and pledging them
selves to vote the democratic ticket
Incidentally they proceeded to dis
sect Mr.. Taft.
The fact that six representative
men-all republicans-could be
found in one little Pullman smoking
room-all insurgents significant
