We've been thinking about east ing a medal for the Honorable Car roll Clausen of Petersburg, the man who has brought a touch of humor into what otherwise turned out to be a bitter campaign. Our hero Of this political circus, who reports he is planning on making camera finish for ninth palee in the House race, for which eight are to be nom mated. in a siX-line campaign pro gram makes some of these longer political essays seem just a bit bur densome. Says frann MT. Clausen:
 q am a candidate of the Demo- cratic party for nomination as a divisional representative. l have not had any experience as legislator. I have never engaged in fishing nor mining. My reputation for truth and veracity is not the best, and I cannot give you one reason why any voter should vote for me in preference to any other candi- date.'
