 A letter such as follows should
 make a deep impression:
 Hon. Phoenix 7. Dumbell, Chairman, l"National Flubdub Committee.
 Dear Sir: fr
 "A lot of water has gone over the dam and a lot Of other stun down the throat since those days. Here l am writing to you to ask you to use your influence to bring the national convention of your party to this town. We have canvassed the merchants and they are willing to help pay the ex- penses. We will entertain the dele gates, too. The Ladies' Knitting Cir cle of the Third church put on a show called Let Us Have Peace last winter and they are willing to re- neat it for the benefit of the dele gates to the convention, if they come here, The editor Of the Clarion said it was the finest show ever put on by amateur talent. He's good judge because he went to the Hippodrom, in New York once When the press agent sent him pass.
 "our hotel accommodations are nothing to boast about, but all the women of the town are willing to board the delegates during their stay here and you know our women have the reputation for baking the best apple pies in this section of the state.
 Be sure to let me know right away whether you will come SO l can sneak to the editor of the Clarion about it and drum up interest. Be- tween you and mo, the editor and are the best of friends and know that, if I ask him, he will run your picture on the front page.
 Your old school friend.

 Listen. our citizens have been awarded the worlds Home Brew Championship. They can make more home brew and better home brew than any other town on this revolving ing globe. Don't think for a minute that this is ordinary home brew. Mir. Busch had sample the other day and wept. He said he thought he knew something about brewing but had 10 confess that he made big mistake when he located his plant in St. Louis.
 Now about that convention. Bring ,be boys down here and give them a good time. After they sample our stun they will vote for anyone you may suggest. Think it over and wire me at OUT expense,
 "Sincerely, .-....-...

 Here's another: 'tIon. Y. z. Nook, Chairman, 'The Independent Party.
 "Dear Nook:
 "Perhaps you won't recognize the name at the end of this letter, but I used to go to school with you. You that red-headed, cross-eyed chap who sat near you in Miss skin- ner's room at the Center Grammar school. Well, S'm him. My hair IS now a gentle auburn and my eyes have been strengthened, so perhaps con wouldn't recognize me anyway.
 Among the questions which are per- plexing politicians is one which taxes nrecedeuce over all others: VIII Mayor paonessa run for reelection Tbns far. the mayor has not indicated l whether he will seek reelection or re- fire to private life but those close to 1

 Mayor Paonessa got away to bad tart when he dismissed commission ITS by the HhOlesale.s Some Of his commissioners even today are regard q as weak, but on the whole his has been successful. Je has made no serious breaks" ard is record sanks well with the his- Ory of past mayors.

 When Mayor PaOnessa wss elected, he republicans did not find the pill Q hard to swallow. The sugar coat 1g was provided by the fact that Ieorge A. Quigley. the republican andidste. had been beaten. Ordin- riiy this would be c strange sit1a- on, but it will be remembered that Ir. QuigleY wss not admired by the spuBiicsn machine which went out to eat him and made little pretense of yncesling its movements. But since Iayor FaOnessa has been iH office he ss shown an independcncs which oesnt set well on the republican Members Of the common
