close second. l am afraid that if either gets the nomination that the republicans are going down to defeat, as there will be big ger split in the republican vote than last election. Roosevelt and Root are now sitting on the fence and saving wood and wait
 ing the results of the conven- ton, and I don't think either will turn down the nomination if giv- en to them even if defeat is the result. Such is my opinion any way Never in the history of the United States did the republicans have better opportunity to win
 with hands down, but we must have a new deal of some kind.
 Wilson with his leap frog poli- cies during the last few months
 has certainly lost many of his close friends and packers and l doubt very much if he even now will receive. the nomination at the convention. He is now con sidered the biggest misht that
 ever occupied the chair, which
 also applies to many of his cab inet and appointments in other places. All of which is all bound 
 to add coals of fire on his poor
 head. There is hardly any ques-
 ton. that he wanted to get the
 United States mixed up in war,
 but congress did sure turn him
 down cold, and poor Wilson had a sure tough time trying to
 square himself. Now, as our army is now engaged in Mexico,
 possibly for the next three years,
 he will have to keep out of the
 ,big war and tend to his own
 knitting at home.
 If Wilson gets the nomination,
 the wise ones say that Bryan
 will run also and that he will ger
 a bigger vote than Wilson. IL
 looks as if many surprises will
 be sprung in the two big con
 ventions and it will not be long
 now before the game starts.
 According to the papers you sure are having a very severe
 winter up there, but the same
 conditions have been general everywhere. In our village here
 the snow never left the ground
 for five weeks, and the oldest in hibitant can't give any prehis- : toric date wherein he can beat , it, but I only wish they could
 indulge in one of our real bliz- : zards and get taste of req ! weather and perhaps they would not bellyache so much and know when they are well off. There has been about two weeks gooc weather this spring and wher the sun gets out good and warn it gets my goat and 1 beat 1t for
 the shade.
 . l haven't spent summer out [ here since o8 and would like tc go though the experience of one , just to see if there would be any 1 thing left of me in the fall or not At present l am still taking life , easy taking many auto rides into = the adjacent little towns, anc hardly day passes that l don'' l attend a show of some kind , There will be here next month { big opera company consisting O f I5o people with Pavlowa tn, 5 dancer as headliner. Also Dam 5 roch's big orchestra will appear l the same month and l want tC l hear them and see how they
 compare with our Nome orches l tra But, at that, have been tt g dances and heard music that w, = would not stand for up there t and yNome was never so slow : after all, not in the old days any / way, when there was plenty 0 talent to draw from. We'll, when = ever it stops raining am going tt I run over to my little farm anc , stick there for a few weeks anc see if like that locality or not e It is on North bay about ten o1 :. twelve miles past McNeils isl n and, which is close enough fol |. me, but as I am on the shore lint = and the clans are abundant n there are always supplies for thu r table even in case of crop fail n ure and that ought to be some at h traction in itself.
