della filed for the Republican nomina-
ton for Congress in the Second dis

will be the Democratic nominee.
The senator said farmers Of the
Second district feel that they have
been Disseminated against in the
Underwood tariff bill, and that he
agrees with them. That this will be

of town last week and was utterly
lost until discovered by willy re-
porter Of the Fairmont Daily Sentinel
who proved his Witness by persuad-
ing the Senator to talk for publica-
lion something he was never known
to do before. The following interview
with the Senator was published in
the Sentinel of last Friday.
"Am I going to run for congress !?
Well, to be frank with you, am con-
sidering the question but have not yet
definitely decided. am looking over
the field and if / decide the Repub-
lican voters are friendly to my candi-
dacy / will probably file"
Thus spoke Senator Frank Clague
Of Redwood county who, in company
with ex-senator w. A. Hinton, was
calling on prominent citizens of Fair
mont. The Senator arrived at the
Billiard House Thanksgiving even
ing, and is evidently on tour of the
district.
Will Make Strong Fight
Senator Clague has long been a
prominent figure in Minnesota poll
tics. He has served as speaker Of
the house and eight years as senator.
He occupied influential positions on
committees and has been a potent
factor in shaping legislation for a
dozen years back. He is ready de-
batter, able lawyer and his name has
been prominently connected with
some Of the best laws in our statutes.
Lack Of acquaintance will handicap
him in q race with Senator Haycraft
and Frank Ellsworth, but he is a
strong man and If he enters the race
the one who runs against him will
have his hands full.
Talks State Politics
Asked as to his opinion on state
politics, he predicted that there would
be three or four candidates in the
field for the republican nomination
for governor and such mixup that
no one could predict. the outcome.
On the democratic side lie was u the
opinion that Lind 81 eastman were
the only ones who would stand any
show against Dan. Lanier II he phi
maries. Albert Pfaender, he said, had
intended u Sst into the race, but
the four be cities would give Lawler
. majority that Pfaender could not
overcome.
Good Word for Wilson =
On national matters Senator Clague
was very Iiberal-minded Wilson
has the confidence Of the people to .
remarkable degree the senator con-
fessed. Should his popularity con-
tinue It win Be great source Of
strength to democratic candidates for
congress. However, . year from now
latter the tariff bin has been tried
outwe win know more about It.

GETTING CRAY? USE SAGE TEA TO
RESTORE NATURAL COLOR OF HAIR.

ply ask at any drug store for so cent
bottle of the ready to use preparation,
called 'Wyeth's Sage and sulphur
Hair Remdy." Customers like this
best because it darkens so naturally
so evenly, that nobody can possibly
tell it has been applied. Besides, it
contains ingredients which take OIL
dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling
hair. No, it isn't a dye or even ike
ii. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur and draw it through your
hair, taking one small strand at
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears; after another application or
two it is restored to it's natural color.
What delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
they say it brings back the gloss. ana
lustre and gives. it an appearance Of
abundance. Special hgts. --fsowditch,
