THE OPENING GUNS.
[SiouS City Tribune.I

lSlOuN S1tS 1IlOune-I
The administration opened its bat
teries all along the line against Roose-
welt las, Friday. Humphrey, Of the
state Of Washington: Mondeli, OF
Wyoming. and Rodenberg. OF Illinois,
made virulent speeches against him,
but Representative Norris, of Nebras-
ka. forced Humphrey to declare tina,
ne did not know the facts Of the Chi
cago contests. Norris had made spe-
cihc statements and supported them
with records. even as to Humphreys
own congressional district MondelTs
speech was wholly ineffective as es-
tablishing the honesty OF the Taft
nomination, and Rodenberg's attack
upon Wilson was such a gross exas-
geration that even the Taft men who
heard him agreed that il it took votes
away from Wilson it would land them
in the Roosevelt camp and not in that
OF Taft. All Of which shows that Fri
day was a bad day for Mr.. Taft to
start his campaign.

The young son of a leading Algona
attorney is apparently of an initiative
turn of mind. Last week, without
prior consultation with his parents he
ordered a case Of pop from the Algona
bottling works. Later his father found
him busily putting the bottles on ice.
1t was also discovered that he had in
vited number of his young friends to
visit his cellar and enjoy the drinks.
Asked where the boy had learned the
trick his father admitted that he had
probably come by 1t honestly.
