/ OF all the gentlemen who are both !
cred by The Glooms' ,aose lays Ben
selling seems ABOUT the
/ \ Senatorial worst affected He has
Candidate troubles enough to drive
In Trouble. most any politician to
despair.
Mr. Settings worst misfortune per-
baps arises from the fact he has q
seat aboard the TAFT elephant and
old jumbo is so lamed, SO MANNED and
bruised that he is no sort of craft
for a politician who hopes TO sue
coed. Ben Selling though was the or
lginal Taft chairman in Oregon and it
would be base indeed for him to go
back upon the president simply be-
cause the gentleman OF the white
house is politically in adverse circum-
stances. In standing fast by Taft Mr.
Selling preserves his regularity but it
is more than probable he has done
50 at the price of a good many votes.
His action in endorsing Taft will alb
solve all progressive republicans from
supporting him for senator. 1t will
be logical for such republicans to sup
port Harry Lane and thus bring about
Settings defeat. They can either do
that or waste their votes on Mulkey
and run a chance of seeing Selling
.lectad.
Fu. Taft and his crippled elephant
are not the only troubles Of the SEN
'o iaI aspiranJ He has been both
red by the ghost or many thousands
o. dollars he expended to bring about
his nomination and now he is at war
with the Peoples Power League of
which he has long been president and
through association with which he
has acquired much of his reputation
for progressiveness Mr.. Selling has
notified Secretary Olcott to take his
name off all arguments and all meas
ures submitted by the league, saying
that the use of his name was un-
authorized. To this U'Ren and fol-
lowers have replied that Selling has
bad memory; they show he has
been head of the league for years
has presided at meetings and never
before has objected to the use of his
name by the league. They plainly
resent the way Selling is acting and
their resentment will mean further
loss of votes.
It is apparent that Selling secured
the republican nomination for sena-
tor at the wrong time Of the moon.

There is a story from 500 Chow

: chop suey for the first time, and il
i Immediately struck him that his
e countrymen would like it. So he en-
e gagged a san Francisco cook skilled in
e its preparation, and brought him
u along when he returned to China.
II Just as Chinese restaurants in the
a United States are fitted up look as
&c Chinese as possible, even so is Ling!

&c Ling could remember how to fit it
i The chop suey, hitherto unknown il
China. is advertised as the American
