CHIPS is really and truly pleased to
see Joseph w. Folk in the race for
U. s. Senator. Mr.. Folk has time and

power Of the whisky and beer inter-
ests. He scattered the boodlers, he
knocked higher than Gilderoy's kite
the race crackers and gambling that
was making more defaulters of young
men than anything else under the sun
could do. Yes, we admire Mr.. Folk
very much. II for nothing else, then
for the enemies he has made. Per-
sonally, we hope to see Joseph w.
Folk CARRIED in the toga of Senator.
