country ever since Uncle Sam told
the boys they might reside here. and
is an observer, so when the astute
fellows undertook the time-tried
game OF getting the weak men off

just sent them home.

The god OF luck still attaches to
Senator j. w. Harreid. 1t is one OF
the remarkable stories OF politics,
now this man, two years ago only a
successful attorney and business
man, has won every fight staged
either by him or in his name.
Harreld republicans organized

the Harreld business manager, was
chler engineer in the city campaign.
For reasonable time it appeared

claiming that National Committee
man Jim Harris has been unable TO
secure favors from those high in
federal authority.
This much Is evident--neither OF
the republican factions has been
able 20 get far. Likewise, II was
