Senator Chamberlain is strong for

Are there any issues this year be-
tween the two great political parties?
The politicians are trying hard to pro-
cure some and II may be that prizes
will have to be resorted to. in order
to bring some forth. We are Of the
opinion 1t will be a hard thing for
either party to produce issues any
different than the same old issues.
1t Is said that Senator Lodge would
not be pleased IL Mr.. Osborn were

Knox was rubbing of some Of the
rough spots which the Californian
had when he came to Wash.
The burning issue nowadays-made
more acute because of the increasing
