AMBITIOUS FREAK AT LARGE
 
 IVA B M M-NM III Ws M~A 

Having been reared in the grand old State of Kansas we thought we had seen every sort of political freak extant We knew Sod House Sam who wanted to turn all of Northwest Kansas or the short grass district Tn to a vast rain making tank At great political con vention in St. Louis we saw and talked with a political man who wore a hat whose gilt letters spelled The Maniac of Maine or the Lunatic of Lynn, at your service" We remember the days when Mary Ellen Lease, God bless her, told us in Kansas to raise more IT. and less corn
 We knew the little cloak maker wom- an who used to go to conventions and sing outside of the halls, Put coat on my back cause I make 'em"
 We knew the Congressman from Kan sas who deserted his wife for his red slinpered stenographer and wound up being a scaVenger man in Topeka. We've known Carrie Nation We've met most kinds of political side shows but we found the one freak paramount in Alaska, he has Sod House Sam and the Lunatic of Lynn beat forty ways for Sunday The freshest and most self sufficient freak yet produced in the pol itiea1 arena Is the Senator who thinks he can be Senator and Delegate at the same time.
