ers In his department. and says there

IRON HOT, STRIKE
FOR THIRD PARTY,
URGES LAFOLLETTE
nv Associated Pressl

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 27.-Robert
LaFollette, United States senator from
Wisconsin, told him in long distance
telephone conversation from Wash
ington that the people had spoken
twice to the majority parties and If
they had to speak again it would be
to welcome a third party, George W.
P. HUT, governor-elect of Arizona,
said here last night. He may send a
representative to the meeting of Pro-
gressive leaders called by Mr.. LaFol-
lette for Dec 2, but will not attend,
Mr. Hunt said
LaFollette said he would just as
soon see both old parties scrapped,
according to Mr. Hunt, pointing out
that radical or progressive candidates
in eight states had been victorious in
the recent elections through close
combination of organized farmers and
union workers, and that an analysis
of the returns would show Mr. Hunts
election by such combination. Mr..
Hunt said this was the reason for
inviting him to the conference.
Says Iron is Hot.
THE iron is hot, it is time to strike -
was one of Senator LaFollette's ex.
pressions, Mr. Hunt declared. 1.-THE
psychology of the dissatisfied masses,

attempt to make a standup count.
Mr.. Graham declared he wanted to
support the measure, but insisted it
had to be changed or he could not
stand for it. Republicans, he added,
should accept suggestions from their
own side, if they wanted it passed.
Check Not Complete.
While the house was resuming con-
sideration of the bill, Chairman Lask-
er, of the shipping board, conferred
with Senator Curtis, of Kansas, Repub-
lican whip, regarding probable senate
action on the measure. He was in
formed that canvasses of senators
were not complete enough to give an
accurate line on the situation. Repub-
lican leaders were said to feel, how
ever, that obstruction would prevent a
senate vote before the sixty-seventh
congrss adjourned sine die, March 1.
Opponents of the legislation assert
ed administration leaders would have
to marshal their full strength Wed.
nesday to avoid defeat. The rule per-
hitting unlimited amendment, under
which the measure is to be consid,
cred for three days beginning today
was made by the rules committee, &C
cording to the announcement of Chair
man Campbell, of the committee, fol
the purpose of giving the house an
| opportunity to shape the sort of ship

Saws Postal Authorities Should Print Favored
Postage Stamps So the Government Would
Leave Good Taste in Our Mouth.
By John p. Medbury.

The reason a lot of people are
poor correspondents IL because
they hate to lick postage stamps.
This can be overcome II the post
office will print the stamps In dif-
ferent flavors.
One-cent stamps could be mint,
Scent ones could be strawberry
and 10-cont ones orange.
OF course, q writer would have
to be careful and not get sick by
mixing his flavors.
A msh could write . mean letter
and then lick . strawberry stamp
and II would Leave . good taste In
his mouth.
The idea would naturally take
away q, lot Of business from the
ice cream parlors. Instead Of peo-
pie going In and getting . drink
they'd write q couple OF letters.
For cents you could get the
Same taste in your mouth that tho
candy store would get Is cents for.
OF course. II a guy was a heavy
drinker he could lick q registered
stamp or q special delivery.
Tho higher price stamp you buy,
tho better flavor you get. A guy
who writes postal cards couldn't
expect much.
Our postoffices would look like
soda fountains and the guy who
sold stamps would have to wear
an apron.
