 I play and such. Even if I were not opposed to the game as a matter of prtn- ciple, couldn't stand it to participate in a card contest where I would be contin- ually harangued, scolded castlgated, frowned upon, disapproved of, admon- ished, disparaged and deprecated by my partner Whenever I want to hear foot less discussion, I can sit right here m the House chamber and listen to ar- gument about how much document should be printed"
 If. l.. McHaney. a lawyer and politician of Little Rock, Ark, says: Tn New York, where I spent a week, I did not hear q word against the nomination of south ern man for President. and I have net heard an objection from anybody who was not a tlmd, ill-informed southern man. I am for Oscar Underwood for President and found abundant evidence in New York that he is growing in favor there. He can carry my state and l be- lieye he will.
 "At meeting of our democratic state commission an effort was made by the Wilson boomers to commit the members 10 the New Jersey governor. but the friends and admirers of Champ Clark and Underwood easily prevented t. They are
 
 responsible part of the democratic party, and that Is Congress, in the making of a record not only creditabe to the party. but highly honorable to themselves. We owe them the highest recognition for their valuable services, and if they continue well doing to the time of the convention believe one of them will be nominated.
 "The excellent manner in which these two democratic leaders, both ardently urged by their friends for greater political preference. have gotten along together, makes success for one of them think ir- evtable. They are southern men, both born in Kentucky the soil that produced Lincoln as well as Jefferson Davis, Her. " Clay and John C. Breckenridge. It is time I think, that VIC should prove our loyalty to the leaders among our own people whom we know to be honest. brave and wise enough to unite the party and serve the whole country"
 William Kent. the California congress- man. fell in with a stranger on western train recently and they got to discussing a murder case that was then on the front page of the papers.
 "Ever shoot anybody" inquired the stranger.
 "Not yet" replied Kent
 Don't ever do it," advised the stranger. Ut haunts a fellow. I shot man thres weeks ago ana can get lt out o1 my mind"
 How'd you happen to shoot him?" in- quired Kent, growing interested.
 "Oh. we got into a little dispute in saloon and he pulled q gun on mo. And added the stranger with glow of pride. 'T shot him three times before he could hit the floor I'm the best doggone re- volver shot in New Mexico,'
 Low rates will apply to every feature of the Panama Pacific exposition. to be held in San Francisco. In 1915" said George Knight. one of the prominent lawyers of the Pacific coast. We want the people from every section of the United States to visit California, and t is the aim of every citizen of Frisco 70 make inducements that cannot fail to att tract the people. It will be possible for persons in the east to take trip to San Francisco, visit some of the principal cities on the Pacific coast and enjoy q months vacation on s200, which will in- clude railroad fare, sleeping car acconi- modations and hotel bills"
 with $250 persons with moderate means clerks in the government depart ments for instance, can have the time of their lives. It is expected that the rail- roads will make a rate for round trip to San Francisco and return of not more than $5o.'
