 presently be unearthed by his & ads (and managers) as the only caI choice for putting into opera
 tlfe scheme of government Eh the deer peepuF are thought @ most insistent upon.
 Fe have a plenteous crop of as- nts today, m most of whom are re- licans, in Johnson, Poindexter, bd, Penrose, Coolidge, Lowdcn others. It is probable that from of these will be chosen our next  sidentia1 candidate in the repub- h field. President Wilson, At
 ey General Palmer, Underwood,

 There is great chance for q Id1Gf TOT ITeSlCGTL 111 l5 1.
