 JOLLY TIME ON TRIP Members of the party all had a
 jolly time, especially on the return trip, and they had a good deal of fun
 joking each other. Here were some of the comments of Judge J. J. May field upon reaching Alabama; My friend, Breck Musgrove. never euarrels with any one. but laughs with every one. MT. Bryan did Breck the honor of mentioning him as suitable candidate for President. Breck says the ticket is a little damp, but not soaking wet. One of Breck's good friends who is classed as damp, but not soaking wet, proposed that the two make speeches for the democratic ticket. Breck parried by putting as a condition, provided, that he. Breck, go into damp territory and his frien into dry territory.
 "Breck also says that if failure to be married once is sufficient reason to defeat a candidate for the United States Senate, exercising the legal right twice by a candidate ought to elect him President.
 My friend and schoolmate, Judge No~ ing all this row about dry ticket, that if the country is not dry enough now, people are hard to satisfy. Judge is the original and eternal Cox man, and freely bets on his cleo ton. He says Cox, having been elected governor of Ohio three times. holds the winning hand; that it is just about like holding three aces in game of poker"
 MUSGROvE COMMENTS Col. "Breck' MusgroveA himself was 1 in excellent humor and had the follow | ing to say:
 "The Ohio bunch literally sang into submission or subjugation, the delegates singing:
 "'Ohio, Ohio.
 The hills send out the cry, We're here to do or die, Ohio, Ohio.
 well nominate Cox Or know the reason why. "Of course, they could sing. and why notq If they couldn't sing, why were tteir legs stuck in the middle Of thelr | feet like a bird? And why should they not nominate their man when they made tracks that you could neither foiiow nor lose? .'They were organized. Yes, well or ganized. and did the job up in good old | = ticket on good platform and Will win | in November. Why shouldn't they, for they are the jolliest best and smoothest set of devils that ever invaded and cap- tured the I. w. w. territory on the Pacific slopes"
 EXPERIENCE IN BANFF As to some of the trials and hardshlps of the trip, Dr. E. M. Thomas of Pratt l vile relates this:
 "Dr. s. F. Mayfield, my able colleague l and self were successful in keeping the delegation in good health and spirits un- | til reaching Banff, at which place the | male portion of the delegation felt the | need of a different brand of spirits to that which we were able to furnish, the latter fact being discovered when the writer ] had occasion to visit local physician and found that he was twenty-fifth or 1 the waiting list, all of those preceding him being from Alabama. q believe the best possible candidate was chosen at the convention. and l per sonally am convinced that there is nc doubt of winning in November. l wish | to take this occasion to thank those members who had the delegation in
