that theere is no longur the leeSt doubt that the peepul of the coun- them will say--that the demmy crats say-well they don't say much-but now and then one of them will say-that tn demmy- cratic vote did not turn out-It didn't
 Then we will go furthur back and turn to Texas-there was ex- Sinator Bailey-he wanted to be Guvvernor-he is a grate States man whom Texas has honored time and time again.
 He was grouchy and soar at the administration and used the leege of Missions evvery morning for footmat. He sed rude and uncom- pliminteryi things about article ten and shot the 1eege as full of holes as porus plastur. He wanted to return to the doctrines of Jeffer- sun, Washingtun and Bailey and he had everything all packed up for the return trip, but the Vox Populi of Texas wasn't reddy to go. They sent him along. but they stayed at home with theere re- lasions and uther assets by large and enthewsiastic majority. The \ Texas air for the administration and the 1eege and that is an indi- casion that the same is trew all ovver the country. Then look at Mississippi. Sinator Vardiman tried to get fresh with the leege and few uther things that his party stood for-he. figgured that the folks down home weer for him and that he could cut loose and pull few plain and fansy stunts not down on the regular bill. He failed to reggistur; he woke up one morn- ing with a perminint job as a private citizun with a dark blue grouch in need of hair cut. The sinators butiful flow of language was of no practical use. He slung the Bull all ovver the State, but the returns registured him far be- low zero with cold wave in the offing. He now has the privilege of quoting poitry and such uther sintimints as he can think up to sewing sircles and the chatawlkur sircuit as long as they'll stand for it and will put up the per dyems. This provves-according to the demmycrats-that the leege of Missions is a cinch.
 Up in New England they do say that the leege of Nasions is about as populer as a skunk at Pink Tee while in the middle west and across the Mississippi the plain peepul air sitting up at mite wurry- ing ovver how we air to go in; that is--whethur we will do so with moor resurvasions than a Russian gennerel has medals-or whethur we'll take it strait with out chasur. The republicans have long list of prominint citi- guns who have been elected to offs all the way from Justise of the Peese to Sinator purely becawse they opposed the leege-the dem mycrats have just as long a list of 7 equally corragus and prominint citizuns who weere elected be- cawse they said give us the leege or give deeth" or words to that effect. The republicans point with pride to the fact that a feeding and inflewential voter in Mass. se- cured a diverse from the wife of his boozum becawse she was herd to remark that the leege would keep us out of war, and that she proposed to nit presidint Wilsun
 
 becawse he thought of it furst; while the demmycrats put forward as exhibit "a'' an erstwhile repub- licon and membur of the leggisla- ture in Montana who seys that he will newer get anuther shave or haircut until the leege is an aor complised fact.
 In the mean while the demmy- crats air charging that the op- ponints of the leege air so bittur that they air actuelly donating all the ready mummy that they suc- cessfully conseeled from the in- cum tax collectur to the republf- con campaign committed; and the and the republicans charge that England is spending moor reel mazuma to aid the demmycrats than she is on ammunision for the Syn Primers; so theere you air.
 The anser is that it is the wurst mixed up bizness we evver had. The wimmin, God bless 'em, will likely settle it. Both sides admit this and that is about the only thing they agree upon. I repeet that it will take a Sage-who has been saging for sum time as a regular occupasion to give us line on what the wimmin air going to do. They may send the leege and all it's cohorts to the jumping off phase and points South; on the uther hand they may set it up as a regular institusion along with the ! You've got as good guess as enny one else-but they way I see it is. we will have to wait till the furst Tuesday in Novembur-aftur that we can say along with uther prominint polvtisians-'I told you so." Yours trooly.
