POLITICAL DRIFT.

H. Wade Ellis, assistant attorney gem
eral, is named by the Cleveland Plain
Dealer as the man who will try conclu-
sions with Governor Harmon in the race
for governor next fall.
Two months in Washington was aplenty

ill-health is given as the reason for his
resignation. Appointment of a successor
devolves on Governor Burke.
Rigid economy overshadows all other
words In the political lexicon Of New York
City. Mayor Gaynor persists in making
the -introductions, but all the veterans pass
'em by with a sign of recognition.
Tom Watson announces that his offer
Of $4,000 for a joint debate with w. j..
Bryan, on foreign missions, will remain
open for the year, so that Mr.. Bryan can
start a profitable conversation when he
comes home.
Enough political grating has been UNI
earthed in Chicago, IL rightly handled by
the courts, to swell the number Of en-
forced exiles at Joliet. Last year between
$3.50 0 and 1927 800 was wasted by the
bureau of sewers. Naturally the Doodle

There are no qualifications or mental
reservations in the charge against State
Senator Aids of New York, Senator Con-

Senator Aids receive $1,000 for refrainine

The transfer happened in 1901. The proof

Senator Beveridge scored in the Indiana
primaries the first round in the battle for
reelection. He is thus given a clear field
on the republican side. The main struggle
is to come in the fall when members of
the legislature which elects the United
States senator are chosen. Quite a repub-
lican land slide will be necessary to over
come the democratic advantage to hold

Sixteen Army Officers with Records
Worth While.
noaton TronscrInt


Boston Transcript.
There are now on the retired list OF the
army no less than sixteen officers of ages
ranging from "a to 30. OF whom two served
in the Mexican war. The best known
names on the list are those of Generals
Sickles, Osterhaus and N. A. M. Dudley.
The services of Sickles and Osterhaus have
been interrupted by long periods Of civil
employment, but General Dudley has been
an army officer for fifty-five years. His
record ls passed, however, by that of Gen
eral Robert Murray, whose original COM
mission as assistant surgeon bears date
Of June %, 1916. General Murray attained
the rank of surgeon general in 1888, after
thirty-seven years OF continuous service.
While the late General Fuckers record
Of longevity has not been reached, the
capability for living and the comfortable
circumstances of these octogenarian vet
Grams affords ground for hoping that some
of them will yet equal 1t. A retired gen.
eral officers lot ought to be eminetly a
happy one, for it is old age associated
with distinction, and a degree of comfort
that most would reckon affluence.
