The statement that the president is actuated by
political aims in giving Mr. Lewis candidacy his sup

CHIEF executive in asking the people of Minnesota to
return Senator Nelson, Republican, would be
pretty good answer. The president knows who have

to ask the people to send back congress the men

We hardly expect the Tribune be entirely

its own influence and that takes precedence over

plans for his own benefit. He was a
coward because he had systematic
ally set at work to secure a home

Coan had been weaving the wiles
of false friendship about young and
inexperienced Neal Adams. for the
reason that he fancied he loved
Meals sister, fair Lettie Adams
There was another who was quite
sure that he really did love her
Victor BarTows The latter and
Neal had enlisted in the same reg
iment, but Neal had been closer to
Coan than TO Victor. He had not as
yet discovered the treacherous ma
ture OF Coan, nor the sterling quail
ties of Victor. Both called upon
Lettie, and Neal did not bother him
self as to which had gained the
most favor. One afternoon Neal
was walking along the street with
Coan when Victor neared them.

latter. Were ordered for canton
