Democrats To
Control Next
Lower House

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. U.P0-
A major overturn of political ma
ch;nery, promising new jobs for
many Democrats and unemployment
for some Republicans, cast it's
shadow over the great iron dome of
the capitol today.
Under the dome, jubilant Demo-
cratic politicians and downcast Re
publican workers discussed the eX-
pected organization of the house of
representatives by the Democrats
next month, on the basis of the
added strength gained in Fridays
five congressional elections.
Some Republicans, including
Chairman Will Wood of the party's
congressional campaign committee,
clung tenaciously to Shreds of hope
that Republican could be elected
as speaker to succeed Nicholas
Longworth. In a body of 435 men
and women, in which Democrats
now have 217 seats and Republ--
cans 215, sudden changes may oc-
cur, and illness may prevent one or
two from bringing the necessary
votes to the house floor, the Re
publicans emphasized.

The situation started several

lieved that the Mexican government
had ordered them out of the coun-

known that labor laws promulgat-

the Mexican states operated to the
disadvantage of the Cinnamon.

"I Have Nothing To Say. Declares Bowman When

Writ G. Bowman, popular No

First National Bank of this city,
is being urged by his many
friends throughout the state to
be candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor
in 1892, it became known yes

When questioned yesterday by the

er he would accede to the wishes
of his host of friends to make the
race for the governorship Mr.. Bow
man neither denied nor affirmed
that he would be a candidate. "I
have nothing to say, was his re-

Joe r. Halstead of Phoenix, gen.
eral manager of the Halstead Lun-

greatest lumber concerns, is one of
the persons boosting the Nogales
man for the governorship.
Halstead flew down to Nogales

walk in and see the fleas perform
their marvellous tricks. On your
way out there will be a box, and
you may drop into it-not dollar,
not a half dollar, but Is cents. Op-
en- the door, Bill"
The crowd gaped, but no one
moved. Clearly there were no gen.
uine flea fans in the audience, be-
cause it wasn't lack of appeal in
the barker's voice.
The barker, his face red with
pity to think how the crowd was
pass ng up such an unexcelled op-
portunity, explained it in an aside
to Bill.
It's the depression, Bill" he
said. ''All right, folks, we're not 60
ing to keep tbs opportunity open
any longer. Step over to the stage
annex"
On the stage annex" was Cleve,
the Human Seal. The correspon-
dent had concluded the 10 cent ad-
mission fee was for the privilege Of
paying Is cents to see the side
shows. But no. Here was Cleve in
person and you could look at him
without paying.
"Cleve, the Human Seal, was

freak of nature he has flippers in

with you. A little philosophy is bet

All, that was it. Cleve was SELL
ing a little book of philosophy. For
a nickel.
All, but the real treat awaited us
in the next booth, the barker in
dicated. There we would see the In
ternational Dancing Girls do the
hula and the muscle dance, in which
every muscle is brought into action,
all to the accompaniment of the
steel guitar and the ukulele.
The correspondent, being no
judge of dancing, could not tell the
hula hula from the muscle dance,
but he parted with another Is
cents. Later, peeping surreptitious-
ly into a machine labeled What
girls do when they're alone" he
found that one of the International
Dane ng Girls also posed for peep
hole movies in her spare time.
incidentally, he DIDN'T Iearn what
girls do when they are alone. The
machine was a fake.
