What a badly bunged up bunch OF

as the result of Sunday nights auto
mobile accident, and Big Bill TAFT
with the scar Of his face inflicted by
a missile from pea shooter. Did you
ever hear the like? Why didn't some
body do something to Debs and Chain
and make the whole affair even more
remarkable
Speaking seriously, Mr.. Koiner conn
mented on the sad feature of the all

ing off OF Vce-P President Sherman
after Ii was too late for his party
to select another candidate. That to
him. and to many others. II the pa
thetic feature Of the election. 1T Is
probably the first time In the history

that voters are casting their ballots
for a dead man, or course the law
provides for such emergencies, and
in the extremely remote possibility of
President Taft's reelection live run
ming mate would be offered the cleo
torai college. but literally the people
who voted the Republican ticket TO-
day voted for dead man. Not only
sad but somewhat gruesoue, isn't It ?"
