suppose you noted the fact that
q few weeks ago Mr.. Long announced d
his candidacy for the Senate to sue
coed Senator Selden +. Spencer of
Missouri, whose term expires i'm 1920.
Although he never held office before
he was appointed to the post of Third
Assistant Secretary of State. Mr.. Long
has always taken keen interest in
politics, and wissacres say that he
has a strong following in Missouri
and that he has an excellent chance
OF election.
One of Mr.. Longs hobbies, by the
way, is the collecting OF ship pic
lures, quaint old paintings, mostly OF
"frigates." clipper ships" and all the
long line OF sailing vessels of by
gone day. Some of them are valuable
as works OF art, others merely for
their historic interest. but altogether
the collection is AN unusual and a
deeply interesting one. Frequently II
is augmented by canvas which Mrs
Long picks up in her rounds of the
antique shops. She IL a confirmed

has picked up some loyely things.
Mrs. Long will be at home infor-
