FOUR TO ONE ON WILSON.

The Democratic National Commit tee sees no way of defeating Wilson and are offering odds of 4 to on the Governor The organization is now busy every minute in Chicago and are getting out literature which is reaching every point The following is of interest as coming from the National Committees:
 The betting is now four to one that Governor Wilson will be elected. To us here, it looks as though MT. Taft will run third. There is no way to figure out either by mathematics or otherwise, that Governor Wilson cannot be elected Even if his vote should be only as large as was MT. Parker's eight years ago, he could still be elected due to the split in the Republican ranks"

Young Congressman's Dates Were Mixed

A STRANGER entered the office OF
"A Representative William s. ReE'
burn of Philadelphia, who broke a lot
of youngest congressman records by
landing in the lower house last spring
at the age of twenty-eight.
He introduced himself and then be-
gan to ply the congressman with ques-
tons.
"You knew your multiplication table
by tho time you were year and a
half old, presumed" he suggested.
ooh, certainly" said Reyburn,
deeming it wise to humor the fellow
and avoid a scene.
"And at what age had you mastered
Latin grammar" pursued the inves-
tigator. Five years perhaps"
Somewhere around there" nodded
Reyburn.
"And as you grew older" went on
the visitor, that is, when you got to
be nine or ten years Of age. which Of
your college studies appealed to you
most?"
At first the mans talk had been
merely funny, but now 1t looked seri-
3us and Reyburn became nervous.
There was no telling at what moment
the visitor might become violent.

One Of Mr.. Adees chief character
IstiCS is his tremendous fund Of good
nature and stories concerning his Off

never relished, although his intimate
friends say he has privately admitted
the humor Of the situation.
