are going to be stateswomen as well

If Senator Hiram Johnson Is for

Mrs. Hiram Johnson will measure up
to all of the requirements of a states
woman. Even now there are some
members of the Senate who believe
Mrs. Johnson is a stateswoman. cer-
tainly she is the most interesting fe-
male student Of current politics that
Washington knows.
Mrs. johnson rides to the Capitol
with her husband, she lunches at the
Capitol with him, and she listens to
his speeches from the Senate gallery.
Wherever you find Senator Johnson
you are always certain to find Mrs.
Johnson-she is a real "paP and ad-

political questions has been sought
more than once by a perplexed Sena-

several million of years than the

that IL the citizens of Mars want

p. S.-The ever-genial Mr.. Hays
chairman OF the national Republican
committee obliged us this morning
with a statement that this is an un-
bossed convention.
At the time the hoi polloi was be-
ing regaled with this information the
gentlemen that will decide upon the
nominee had almost made up their
minds that they could chance II with
the man they really prefer, who is
Lowden, and IL he seemed too much
OF a risk they would make 1t SprouI.
To reach this conclusion they had
nearly melted the telegraph wire that
leads direct from the Congress Hotel
to the bedside of a large fat man
,, lying sick in Philadelphia Over that
wire they had been comforting with
him almost constantly for three days.
Since the death of Mark Twain this
country has mourned the lack of a

head, and sing hail to Mr.. Hays.
