At Least That is What Ev- erybody Says and it is Well Known That What Everybody Says Must be the Truth.
HUNT IS IN TOWN,
 so ARE RINGLING'S
Cameron is Making a Splen- didly Vigorous Fight for the Senate - Br a d y's Whirlwind Has Failed to Whirl.

Well, what of politics?" was the query heard in a hundred places on the streets yesterday; and almost in- variably the reply was: She's warm ing up to beat the band"
 And that phrase expresses the sit uation as we'll as another. Certainly it is accurate, for politics is warm ing up to beat the band" In fact it would be a mighty industrious sort of band that would warm up as rap idly as has the political situation in this territory since the 20th of this same month.
 One reason why she is warming up7 is the activity of the republican candidates. They are getting into the fight in a way that leaves no doubt of their earnestness and de- termination. And they are making a fight with the energy born of despair; they are contesting every inch of the ground in the firm belief that at least a fair part of the ticket will go through.
 Within the past few days several or these candidates have placed nom- ination papers in the hands of their friends and are doing considerable canvassing of the electorate. For the present this part of the work has been done largely at home but within a few days their visits will be more extended and they will neglect no part of the county in their effort to land themselves winners.
 So, if there had been a sort of be- lief in the minds of democrats that the republicans were to permit any of the county offices to go by default that belief has been discarded. It is certain that there will be candi- dates for every position and for some of them spirited contests at the pri- maries are promised.
 In state and congressional matter affairs are about the same. Both Ralph Cameron and Hoval Smith are ir the race for the senatOrships with a determination to win. if that be possible, and already republican as pirants for several of the state offices have made formal announcements. Cameron is going before the people largely on his record as a con- gresSional delegate; and there is a general sentiment that if he could win in 1908 with no public record back of him, he ought to be able t. win this year with an unimpeach- able record on which to rely.
 The democrats are making cOnsid- erable bother with regard to the gov ernorShip and the senatorial positions but it may be described as that kind of bother that is full of sound and fury. signifying nothing" The Hon. "GWP" Hunt is in town today, and so is the other circus Incidentally. some other candidates are here in quiring after the health and the fam lilies of their constituents.
 In the democratic senatorial race there is some confusion. So far as getting the nomination is concerned an impartial observer is impressed with the belief that it is Mark Smith against the field. The whirlwind campaign that Brady O'Neill was ex- pected to pull off has failed to whirl: or. if it whirIed at all. it was on a pinwheel, rather than on a cyclonic. scale.
 That seems tO be the situation at this time. The only certain thing about it is that politics surely is warming up-it Is warming up to beat the band"
