]. D. Flanagan resides in the same
county and likewise holds to the faith
of "Old Hickory" Jackson, the Hero
of New Orleans" Both would love %
be in the halls of congress and torture
poor Uncle Joe" with their firebrand
oratory. So both went after the nomi-
nation. And by the "home made" pri-
mary plan.
Ballots were printed bearing the
names Flanagan for congress- Caster
for congress" and sent out to voters in
the county. A stamped envelope was
enclosed so it would not cost the coun-
tvs balloting population anything TO
express their choice.
When the votes were counted, it was
found that Caster was the winner. He
received SCI votes to Flanigan's 361. By
the terms of the contract made before
hand the loser was to withdraw from
the race for congress in the Sixth dis
trict.

A visitor to that city who took an
automobile sightseeing trip says
that the thing that interested him
most was the applause of every per-
son on the big machine when the
guide announced that the mansion
opposite was the Washington home
Of Clifford Plnchot. This visitor Is

Garfield's Son Expelled.

John Garfield, a senior and son
of James r. Garfield, former secre-
tary of the interior, has been expelled
from the Taft school by Horace Taft,
the principal, brother of President
Taft. With Garfield went Harry
Crocker, of San Francisco, and Frank
Andrews and John Dunham, both of
New York. The prank for which pun
ishment was meted was the decora-
ton of the soldiers memorial shaft
in the middle of town with the school
colors. Garfield was to have been
graduated next week. The others
were juniors.
Had Principal Horace Taft consult
ed his brother, President Taft, he
might have told him that under the
circumstances II would have been
better policy to have administered
some milder punishment. The
question naturally will be asked II
youns Garfield had not been a son
of his father would he have been ex-
