so springy on his feet this summer he
came back, quick as a flash: i've got
SO tons of hay in the barn and floors
full of grain--and Maine has gone back
where she belongs, to an old-fashioned
Republican standpoint. Isn't that
enough to make a Teller step lively and

Why" he added, i've been chair

a pretty good record. amt it? And this
year our vote was 165 to "a. which, I
figure is about the proportion that the
Hughes vote will stand to the Wilson
vote in November. AS goes Sidney, so
goes the nation, my boy"
1t is needless to remark that Uncle
Charles is in good nature as we'll as
good health. He is a candidate for re-
election partly because he likes the job,
partly because he knows he is needed
to keep the Legislature straight and
partly because for tho last three Legis-
latures he has been unanimously
named for the place. The Democratic
Senate during the Plaisted administra-

his usual place. and it was one thing at

and applauded.
