FRANKENSTEINS OF THE

One of the humors OF politics has

killing off the colonel. il has hap

Hughes candidacy seriously and
have thereby imperiled the secret
plans OF the indiscreet old guard
Wherefore il is that the latter is
now engaged in an earnest effort TO
kill off the Hughes boom.
No doubt il can accomplish the
feat-it is not a very vigorous boom
but the experience is likely TO
serve as a lasting warning 10 those
erstwhile shrewd party manipulators
against starting something that they
do not mean 10 back up. A pain
