as looking older than most boys OF
his years. and as being five feet
six inches in height and weighing
l20 pounds. His hair and com

crime to call legislator profane
names A few weeks ago Repre-
sentative C. NJ. Bendixen, the Of

ter from Emil Nelson of Wilmar,
wherein Bendixen was criticized for
his attitude in regard to the speed
laws. Nelson did not mince mat
tiers much and used rather fierce
language. The letter was read be-
fore the house and was turned over
to the postal authorities. The deci:
sion as above is the outcome, the
district attorney stating that no
violation of the postal laws was con-
tanned therein. Nelson is Eretty
well known in this city where he
spent ten days or more last sum-
mer selling stock in an oil shale
proposition. Comment on the above
is unnecessary, but we will say
that at one time we were a candi-
date for the legislature. While we
did not get elected, it was brought
hom to US repeatedly that we
were 81 varieties Of disreputables
combined more than we had ever
dreamed of. If that is what people
think Of a candidate, what must be
their opinion of legislator?
