Gen. o. c. Pingree of Pitsburg,
Kans., friend and constituent Of
Representative "Phil" Campbell Of
Kansas, was recent visitor to the
national capitol Speaking Of the
outlook in that state he said kan
sas will give $4,000 for the republi-
can national ticket and I think that
figure Is conservative. There is no
progressive party left in our state.
II Is united with the republicans and
that means an overwhelming vote
for our ticket in November. Hughes
is a popular idol in Kansas and the
people were for him before the con-
vention. when he was nominated

revolving cyclones and the hoarse
roar OF descending water; we hear
voices, apparently OF passion. sud

pleading. Il is sometimes difficult to
distinguish and correctly identify the
origin OF the noise.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding.
and with entire absence OF any de-
sire TO do an injustice. we cannot
but conclude that the Voice from

OF a hungry donkey.
That the voice Is Jasmine" we de-
duce from the fact that II denomin-
ates Itself a travelling pedagogue"
and signs Itself as Mrs. Grundy. With

centuating It's long ears. hiding be-
hind the short skirts OF lady OF
prevailing fashions; the emission OF
a trembling roar which weakness
dwindles into a syohophantIc whine

Champ Clark may be good vote
getter in Missouri but he wouldn't I
run very fast in campaign In Calf
fornla or Florida. In speech In
the house a few days ago he tried
TO explain that the war In Europe
shut off the Italian lemongrowers
from their ordinary market. so they
were forced to dump their product
into the United States. with the re-
suit that California lemon produc-
ers left their fruit on the trees. lie
neglected to comment upon the fact
that the "insidious" Italian lemon
lobby spent $4,000 inducing the
democratic party TO reduce the duty
on lemons, and that. because OF that
reduction. the Italian growers were
given access TO our market. We ad-
wise Mr.. Clark not to so on the
stump in California this year. The
farmers OF California know what hit
them.

A prominent citizen OF Maine was
a recent guest OF one OF the republi.
can congressman from that state
Speaking OF the outlook there he
said: "If can Judge anything from
the way people are talking. the dem

down in Maine In September. Prac-
tlcally all OF the progressives are
back in the fold. There are not
enough left for a coroner's jury.
With a united party. look for a
clean sweep from one end Of the
state TO the other. I feel confident
that all four OF the congressional dis.
trlcts will be again republican. The
second district now represented by
Congressman McGillIcudy will return
republican. We shall elect both
