Michigan Moose Leader
QUITS.

Edwin Curtis, elected to the
Michigan Senate as a Progress
sive in 1912, and one of the lead
ing Bull M0osers of the state, has
announced his return to the Re-
publican party and his candidacy
for Lieutenant Governor on the
Republican ticket. In his eX-
pIanatory statement he said that
the Progressive barty had served
its purpose in 1912. THE uues-
ton of a protective tariff is real
ly the only issue upon which
Americans are divided. Past
differences should be forgotten
and all unite in the one common
purpose of restoring a protective
tariff to the statute books"

James r. Barr Returns

James K. Barr, former mayor
and postmaster of Cambridge
who was one of the most enthus
laStlc supporters of Roosevelt ir
the 1912 campaign, has resigned
as chairman of the Progressive
party executive committee OF
Guernsey county and announces
that he will support the Republi-
can party.
In an interview in the Guerns-
ey Times, Mr.. Barr stated that
he associated himself with the
ProA, ressive party because of the
proceedings at the Chicago con-
Ventlon, and because he had al
ways been an admirer and a SUD-
porter OF Mr.. Roosevelt, for which
he had no apology to make-but
that did not mean that he was
never again to be a Republican.
And he proceeds to say;
1T also did rot mean that I

of Gov. Cox, his politics and me.

A Republican Victory.

The election of Henry Vollmer.
Democrat, to the national House
of Representatives from the Sec.
ond Iowa district, at the recent
special election, was really a Re-
publican victory. The Repuhli.
cans showed a gain of 2, 300 votes
over those of a year ago; there
was a Democratic loss of 5000
votes, and a Progressive loss Of
5000 votes. And yet there are
some people who keep on repeat
ing. parrot like, that the Repub-
lican party is dead.

The Oyster as Food.
the Dansuese

In these days when the high
cost of living compels economy
in the average household, it is
astonishing how little the oyster
is appreciated as substitute for
meat. For the cost of a steak
one may buy enough oysters to
supply the average family for a
day.
DR.. Alsberg, one of the United
States government chemists, has
declared that the oyster is no
more liable to contamination by
surroundings than is water or
milk. Those having a prejudice
against the oyster have only to
cook it to be absolutely safe, and
the oyster may be cooked in more
ways than a potato. New York

Washington, D. c. Aug. 15.-The
Wisconsin horse is now worth $136

GoIImar Bros. Show at PlatteviIIe.

To be up to date is the sole ambi-
tion of all persons connected with a
circus. A good illustration of this
is the case of Mr.. Emory Styles,
Superintendent of Gollmar Bros. big
menagerie, and trainer of their herd
of performing elephants.
A few years ago Mr.. Styles had
his huge actors dancing the MERRY
Widow" waltz. That craze did not
last long. Then he taught them to
Turkey Trot. - The Turkey Trot
has become passe. The latest terpsi-
chorean diversion and the newest
dance is the Tango" AS soon as
it was introduced Mr.. Styles at once
went to see all the best Tango dancers
in the country; and after satisfying
himself that he knew the dance
thoroughly, returned to the winter
quarters of the show and began teach
ing the elephants the Tango. When
the first performance was given this
spring Cat the large Auditorium Build
ing in Milwaukee, Mr.. Styles in
troduced the Tango dancing elephants.
To see the monster creatures-locked
in a fond embrace, their ungainly
bodies swaying in perfect time to the
seductive, syncopated strains of the
band is positively convulsing.
