We are remined by the closing OF
the entry books for the June pri-
mary races OF the Republican party
OF the classis quotation OF Mai Aris-
totle, TO wit: There Is nothing so
uncertain as a lead pipe cinch.'
More duly impressed with the truth
OF this automatic formula than they
ever were before are several posers
on the party pedestal. whose ability
to hold their footing theron is now a
troublesome question OF doubt to
them.
There is the case OF Mr.. Teter, OF
Barbour, whose excellent and easy
personal characteristics were taken
advantage OF by the convention or
1904 that took from him and handed
10 w. NJ. o. the nomination. Then
there Is another instance Of the
gentleman from Barbour having the
proverbal lead-pipe OF the cinch
family. Lulled by the sense OF Sc
curity that he had the nomination for
congressman-at-large handcuffed and
locked in a cell on the second tier,
hesitated serenly and felt sorry for
the other fellow who had to fight,
frivol their money away and other
wise C4scommode themselves to try
10 get the ambition they craved. How
happy we would all be II the alarm
clock never went off For Mr.. Teter
the alarm clock was the filing by
Hon. Howard Sutherland, eleventh
hour aspirant for the honor that the
Barbour man craved OF his candi-
dacy with Chairman Highland lust
before the entry books closed. Lat
est reports from the Gulliver. of the
Gauley, is that he is mapping out an
intinerary and showing signs OF being
busy man, while Sen. Sutherland
VII see to IL that he doesn't want
work TO do
Mike King. for secretary State, and
Howard n. Odgen, for supreme court
judge. were the eleventh hour can
didates.
Another example OF the uncertainty
OF good things was the case OF Mare
Anthony Hughes. who rested from his
cares and dozed. when he was Jared
by the Hon. Wells Goodykoontz shying
his hat into the Fifth congressional
district ring.
Kitchen Cabinet Slate.
After prayerful vacation spent at
the general conference OF the Metho-
dist church at Minneapolis. Governor
Glasscock has returned and resumed
The job OF governor-ing. Soon after
MS arrival he called IN Dawson, Ed
wards and Elliott and asked for the
dope sheet for the Huntington con-
vention which he proceeded TO muss
up. When he hied for the grain plains
OF Minnesota. the governor and his
Kitchen cabinet had made up a list OF
the delegates to the Chicago coliseum
convention. but after kneeling with
the bishops and psalm-singing with
the brothers. he evidently changed his
mind as 10 who will be who in the
Windy city from the mountain state.
Anyway. when he got back home. he
proceeded, with the advice and con-
sent OF the Others. OF course, TO
change the schedule. Therefore. pre-
vious list published in this correspon-
dence is Withdrawn. and the following
Is substituted. This may or may not
stand but II Is correct az this date:
