Champ Clark, who arranged with the

have them sent to 1900 country news

extended his service to q number OF
city newspapers. .
Eight of the latter class were pub

teenth Illinois congressional district;
and when Tavenner went home to Cor
Iowa on a visit two years ago, he
found that his neighbors had grown
rather proud OF him, and as q mark of
their favor they offered him the demo-
cratic nomination for congress. This
honor was really more OF a liability

Tayenner was wearing rompers, and,
besidess nobody else wanted the nomin-

But the young newspaper man took
the gift seriously and made a personal
Fcampaign, with the result that he cut

she told Tavenner that, even though O

finally (this was after the engagement
and just before the weddlng) h saw
plainly that Senator Ln FoIlette's only
fault was thai he was not q democrat.
She said that Tavenner,s ideas could
not fail to win the election for him.
So, while Mrs. Tavenner composed
letters to the voters that were cpl
tones OF the new ideas In politics,
and mimeographed them and mailed
them by the hundred thousand, and
organized the workers, and took polls,
and kept track OF the campaign con-
