"WnEJf I first began my po-

Mr. Blaine 't&was a candidate

one. In the heat of the can-
vass a liquor advertisement was
handed into the business office
Uand appeared in the paper. Of

THEDallas Herald says that
the rapid political changes tak-
ing place seemingly in all sec-
tions of the country create won-

need a great deal more exten-
sive experience with free schools
