win the new direct elections
amendment to the Constitution in
force, this year win witness remark
able Senatorial struggles in a long
list Of States. The Congressional
campaign, in fact, promises to be
memorable chiefly for the Senatorial
contests, which are certain to prove
OF far greater interest than the con-
test over control OF the House.
That the Democratic party viii re-
tain control of the House In the pres
ent divided state of its opposition
seems almost beyond question. While
1t is not likely that the Democrats
will lose control OF the Senate, the
situation is sufficiently close to be
worth while watching. Moreover.
the Democratic margin Of control
in the Senate now Is 50 narrow that
the loss OF one or two Senators
would seriously cripple the party.
The most intense personal interest
VIII attach to some Of the Senatorial
contests for the reason that they
concern men of national fame, whose
defeat or whose victory will be an
event.
Already the lines OF the Senatorial
contests In the different states are
being rapidly shaped. In most in
stances, especially In States which
arc not surely Democratic, there VIII
be triangular contests, Republicans,
Bull Moose, and Democrats having
candidates.
Considering Blair Lee as seated
from Maryland, ans recognizing
that Alabama is certain to I'LL
Johnstcn's place by a Democrat
even though Glass may not be
seated, the Democrats now have
four more than a majority in the
upper house. The Senate now has
\ full membership of ninety-skx,
and the terms OF one-third expire
on March 4. 1915. In Louisiana,
Congressman Broussard has al
ready been elected to succeed SEN
ator Thornton. This leaves thirty
one Senators to be elected for long
terms between now and March 8,

Realizing that the present plant

Theo N Green, manager of the local
plant and the other officials OF the
company held meeting at Little

ments to make extensive improve
ment in the plant here, so that the

the plant was first started in TINS

New Guinea is one of the few coun'
tries that still present untrodden fields
for the explorer. The difficulties Of
travelling in the interior of this great
island have prompted a German trav

exploration of the island by means Of
an airship. This will enable the ex.

rivers, mountains and jungles which
would be traversed only with great

TWO KINDS OF ADVERTISING
One Gives Some Facts That viii Draw
Attention of People-Other
Is CoIortess.

Why advertising doesn't pay-hoW
much the newspaper man could write
along that line!
Here is an ad from some substan'
tial house, in which the merchant
says something like this: Buy the
best. It's the cheapest. Smith, Jones
& Co., always have the best"
The reader on seeing that ad II
thereby reminded that Smith, Jones
& Co., always have the best"
The reader on seeing that ad Is

goes. But he says to himself, 1.-THE!

comparatively little impression.
Another man, say a shoe dealer,
publishes a notice something like
this: Best quality Brown, Johnson G

Gus to May, 1913. Price 1925"
When your women readers find ar
ad written something after that style
it strikes them that for some good
reason there Is chance to save
dollar. If they have any intention o.
buying such an article in the nea'
future, they are interested to go il
and look at the goods. A moderate
sized notice of that kind will pull more
trade than a larger display with no
logic or facts in 1t.
