pronounced the school a praiseworthy

as an accredited high school.
The high school has launched plans
for poppy little paper this wint-

sent it to the pupils before very long.
We believe that all the people will
feel the school spirit, and think the
paper interesting enough to subscribe
for it.

their training under Coach Brown, and
we all feel that we are going to be
able to expect a great deal of them

Although the apple harvest is still

turned and it is expected that the rest

 Several Possible Combinations
 1t is easy to see that New Jersey and Indiana going democratic, New Jersey and Colorado, or dozen other quite probable combination would change the whole tenor of the tables.
 Nor does it follow that the La Fol lette senators would vote for Governor Bryan. During the democratic con. yention the radical leader was quoted by some of his friends as saying he would not support any one nominated with Davis, and on the platform that had been adopted. Moreover, it has been pointed out that if the election of Bryan were La ,Follette's objective il could be accomplished much more cer. tainly by having Senator Wheeler withdraw as soon as it appeared that there wa sno majority in the electoral college and ask the electors chosen for him and La Toilette to vote in the col lege for Bryan.
 Actually it is much too early for pre- 'dictions as to what is going to happen in November. The La Toilette move. ment may go to pieces, leaving him with only two negligible states; it may grow and give him a decisive half dozen, but the fact that must be kept sight of in all the estimating is thai with the possible exception of Montana every state he may carry is rep0bli- can state and that the further. he goes the simmer the chances of Mir. Coolidge and the bigger those of Mir. Davis.
