The Next Republican Candidate

There is some tune vet TO pass before
the nomination OF Republican caudi-
didate for the Presidency. One thing is
sure, he will not be nominated by the
State of Pennsylvania. II that State
wants TO be represented by Senator PEN
rose, it has full right to its choice; but
that will hardly make him more accept
able outside the Keystone State.
Gov. Whitman of New York has his
record yet to make. While his work as
District Attorney has been most credit
able, and while he has shown himself
politically as well as in his profession a
fighter of the first order, it requires some
thing more to be acceptable as a candi-
date for the Proficiency
The name of Ex.Gov. Herrick of Ohio
is receiving more than passing mention
since his return from Fl ance here, as one
of the Ambassadors to that country, he
has won distinction and candid recogni-
tion by his work under the peculiar con-
ditions imposed upon him by the great
war.
One thing is certain. the great Republi-
can party must nominate its best man.
1t must not be misled by such incidents
as the return of Congressman Cannon to
the House. Such incidents are local The
country at large will not accept return
to past conditions. 1t will need its best
men to the front, if the Republican party
is tO win

Another Query

| Hello there Poet Central!
Give me Eden Corners, please,
Hurry up, or that big Turnip
With the goo goo" eyes may freezt
Say Mister Silent Reader!
Are you really glad to know,
| Herm Kinds, because be was the man
That made that Turnip grow
| believe you said he planted
The seed with tender care;
And then, he watched and waited
To see what would grow there.
And it proved to be Turnip
That grew to monstrous size,
And that Turnip went to winking
At Herm with goo goo" eyes.
Gee! Isn't that surprising;
What stuff does Herman drink?
Was it dose of jim-jams
That made that Turnip wink?
OF tateIs having many eyes
I've heard George Jerrard speak,
But TurHip with such lockers
Must be curious freak.
No wonder Herman hated
To let that Turnip go,
He might have made fortune
Had he advertised show.
But that Turnip grew till Autumn,
And as ii then could grow no more,
You say Berm pulled and logged it
Way down to Maxfield's store.
And Herman cautioned Bernard
Not to let it go to waste
But to nice and thinly slice it
And give his customers a taste.
But If Demands ever done it
1 don't know when OF where:
I'm sure of that freak Turnip
| have never had a share.
Perhaps O'Brien's fed it all
To his old brindle COW,
If he has, and Bernard finds it out
I'll bet there'll be row.
SO Mister Silent Reader
Please tell me where it's gone.
Aud whether | have got to bid
That Turnip good bye John.
don't like to be inquisitive,
But / cannot well keep still,
For want some of that Turnip
To go with Herm's good will.
And so that Turnip's whereabouts
IL you cannot soon explain,
You bad better not at rhyming
Ever try your hand again. n
But II you make an explanation
Please try and make it brief:
Then, get wiggle on you
