Democrats.

from the Second ward, and who Il
daily expected home from an extended
wedding trip. would enter the arena
in the contest for nomination for mayor
by the republican party. OF which he
is a stalwart member. In consequence
other candidates have been IN the
grooming in the race for the nomina-
ton in the hope Of getting a good
start before Mr.. Bond was at the
starting point. in expectation of getting
the pole position. But all doubt has
been dispelled by a telegram received
from Mr.. Bond by former Alderman
Samuel n. Prentis. who is evidently
willing to serve as political manager
nounces that Mr. Bond surely Is q
candidate and that he will not be many
hours in his home city before the cam
paign for his nomination is commenced
and in the end it Is believed he will
have a clear field There are other
good men who would be willing cam
d.dates. but they are not inclined TO
put up a fight against Mr.. Bond for
the nomination. II nominated, it win
be an easy course to election
From present indications there viii
be no contest for the nomination by
democrats, for il is conceded that no
democrat can be elected against Mr.
Bond. or Captain Ernest E Rogers,
Charles c Perkins, P Leroy HarwoOd,
or any other republican for that mat
ter. 1t is a forIorn hope for the de-
mocracy, yet there win be found some
one who will be found willing to sac
riflce self. that is politically speaking
for the sake of party. for 1t would be
almost party suicide for the demo-
Gratis to make no nomination Then.
after all, conditions may change, and
there may be bare possibility of
democratic mayor, for sometimes, the
unexpected does happen in politics. At
this distance IL looks as If Thomas r.
Murray, or perhaps. Alderman Thomas
Gragan, will receive the democratic
nomination, and both have had COM
mon council experience and Mr. MUIR
ray has held other elective Offices The
democracy of the two gentlemen named
las never been doubted, and each Is
credited with a certain amount of po-
litical independence
Speaking of changed conditions in
politics reminds me of little incident
that happened in New London some
fifty years ago. when Hon. Hiram VIII
ley was the republican candidate for
mayor. There was an old man named
PittEan s. Wheeler, who was some
thing of a local character and not a
very strong advocate Of prohibition.
He was a drayman, drove an old white
horse attached to the old-time two
wheeled dray- He has been dead many
ears and therefore respect to his
memory. He was taken up as a can
goes. he actually received more votes

{ SELF So runs g. sQutb I read. the
other day.
Areiyou a hobby-rider? -,
II is pretty hard to drew the lire
where laudable or, at least. perm1s-
sible specialization ends and hobby
/ riding begins.
! The farmer who goes in" for poul-
S try and nothing else is specialist.
So with the farmer who devotes his
farm to raising pigs or to growing
corn or to producing milk or to any
, other single line Of farm work. He
may have found that his farm is pc
culiarly fitted for raising sheep: or
that his markets make the raising II
his own nkings and abilities tend
towards making him successful with
sheep.
In such q case. for him to devote
his chief attention to sheep is not
riding a hobby 1t is simply using
ordinary common sense.
With most of US farmers, the Gues-
ton in farming is not so much what
we might. or could or would do If
things were different. but what we
can do, things being as they are. to
. Rehy CdASS anu OQS SASd1s
II a farmer can't raise wheat and
potatoes probably. but can raise corn
and hay, then he can't properly be
styled q hobby-rider because he gives
his main attention to q dairy, whose
cows can turn his hay and his silage
into money for him.
But IL he should refuse to keep any
cow in his herd unless her 'off'' horn
was curved up and her nigh" horn
bent down. or unless she had q wart
on her tail halfway. down to tho
sharp rather than in-B flat-whys then,
one might be justified in suspecting
that he was q trifie hobby-ish.
If. carrying things still further. he
went up and down the countryside
proclafming that no farmer had q
right to keep any cow unless its horns
and its tail and it's operatic attain
ments agreed exactly with the speci-
hcations OF his herd. then. think,
there would be general agreement that
he was riding q hobby, and riding it q
beetle too hard.
My experience with farmers leads
me to believe that, as a class, we are
less inclined to hobby-riding. which
is just silly, than to dogmatism, which
is more irritating than silly
