pensive and delicate papers. They
were used only by the wealthy and
were considered a fad. They were
used by the public In England In q
limited way between 1880 and 1890.

In a letter from J. w. Anderson Of
Sidney, farmer-labOr candidate for
United States Senator, he expresses
the belief that the Farmer-Labor
forces in the state will meet with
success on November 4th.
Political observers have marveled
at the tremendous swing of popular
sentiment to the farmer-labor candi-
dates. Two weeks ago it was thought
by some that the old gang parties
would have the election to them
in the state, but now they are realiz-
ing that the Farmer-Labor forces are
the strongest contenders. That is the
reason for the flood of propaganda
throughout this state which is now
being broadcasted by both Of the old
party headquarters. They are MAX
ing last desperate effort to stave off
a tremendous defeat.
