Ar.Asi POOR NICHOLAS,

Considered from tho standpoint OF
many OF our politicians aud statesmen.
this is an era of political chaos and
disaster. Some of them have been
thrown from the band wagon before
they have even dreamed that trouble
was impending Others have been
rudely awakened from feeling of
fancied security and are now engaged
in frenzied effort to catch up with
the political procession \ number O;
cur national legislators arc now wild
with the desire to leave Washington
for their home districts. where their
political fences are in need Of extern
sive repairs. The prospects of other
members Tor reelection are so bad
that they would probably prefer to
remain in the Capital city to the end
of their terms rather than face their
dissatisfied constituencies. Everywhere
there IS disappointment and blasted
hopes.
Whatever may be the misfortunes
which have fallen upon our national
legislators. there IS no one. however
sad his lot. but that he cannot spare
tear for the erstwhile jaunty Mich
olas Longwor,h. Ills father-in-law is
% candidate for the presidential noml-
nation. and in this aspiration he evil
IDENTIFY has the unqualified Endorsement
OF his daughter. Mrs Longworth on
the other hand. President Taft con-
trolls the Cincinnati political machine.
by tho grace OF which REPRESENTATIVE
Longwortn holds his seat in Congress.
An announcement BY this unfortunate
Ohio Congressman that he would sup
port Theodore Roosevelt would. there
fore. be the same as his own political
valedictory. Tho Cox machine in Gin
cinnati would probably put into imme-
dlatc operation his political recall.
REPRESENTATIVE Lonsworth can truly
say
spirits Of peace, where are We? Arc
70 all gone'
And leave me hero In wretchednoss
behind yeI"
Words OF sympathy would be but
q mockery. HIS friends can only hope
that tho Cox machine Will not require
this already more-thnn- embarrassed
legislator to issue pronounccment IN
favor of President Tafts candidacy.
Reference would not be made 20 the
unfortunate position in which he finds
himself but for the encouragement
which 1t nay afford to other states
men who consider that their lines
have fallen in hard places Let them
consider the sad case OF Nicholas and
be cheercd by the reelection that it
