amount Of kick" that may be
contained in the little yellow
sheet.
No Regulations
BY their own admissions, re-
peatedly expressed to solituous
friends, none of the favored"
few sought the honor imposed up
on them, and a few appeared to
have doubts as to the real friend
ship thus expressed toward their
campaigns.
Significally, none of them saw
fit to repudiate the endorsements,
and the only expressions of opin-
ion that could be secured read as
follows:

the nomination as state senator.

dorsed for the nomination as rep
resentative from Marion county:

quest that Germany be admitted
