The state never expected very much
of Senator LenroOt and in conse-
quence is not disappointed over him.
LenrOot lost ground on his NeWberry

senatorial elections or in any other
elections LenrOot's explanation OF
his vote to say the least was uncon-
winding The people do not like this
idea Of too many rich men in the SEN
ate OF the United States. Too much
looking after the interests of the big

the interests of the masses. The
people will show this by their votes
in the future or we miss our guess.
