Old Democratic Majority Was
Too Large.

The Republicans have seen fit to
gloat a good deal over the fact that
the Democrat majority in the House
has been reduced from l40 to 81 .
It must be remembered that 140 ma
jority was an unwieldly one, and
was an abnormal one and the Dem
ocratic party did not want such q
heavy majority because il is too large
to work satisfactorily with, but the
Republicans forced US to take them
in 1912, and we could not help our
selves and had to accept Democratic
congressman from Republican dis
iricts.

Increase In Majority In The
Senate.

The Democrats have not only re-
elected all Of their Senators whose
time was up but in addition thereto
have replaced the Republican Sena-
tors with Democrats in Wisconsin,
South Dakota and California, so
that the Democratic majority in the
Senate over all has been increased
from 10 to 10, which is the largest
majority the Democrats have evel
had in the Senate since the eivi
war. BY the time the Presidential
election Of 1916 rolls around wheT

manufacturer used tin cans in the
construction Of his car. He gathered
UP several hundred tomato, sauer

Famous Tramp Loves Home.

A baby's voice has proven stronger

"A-No..1, the worlds most famous

forced to take up the life, but be-
cause he loved the freeness Of it all.

his latest trip through Georgia and
Tennessee by watching for "A-No.-

His latest tramping trip, and he
says it will be his last, led him into
Ere, Pa, last January. A crowd
was at the station to greet him as
he slid from the rods underneath q
railroad car. In that crowd was q
young woman. She timidly shook
hands with "A-No.- F." The

soon learned that her name was Mis-:
