REPUBLICANS TO STILL
FIGHT MAYFIELD.
Before the full returns of the gen-
eral election had been received the
republican leader of Texas announc-
ed that the fight on Earl B. Mayfield
would be carried to the floor of the
United States Senate.
Since the republicans have a ma-
jority of the membership of the Sen-
ate, and since that body is the sole
judge as to the qualifications of its
members, it is quite possible that the
contest will be carried to that body.
The only charge is that Mayfield ex-
ceeded his expenditures in his cam-
paign expenses. He says he did not.
If he did or if he didn’t it would oc-
cur that the republicans and former
democrats, spent a vast amount of
money in attempting to defeat May-,
field in the general "election. They
don’t say anything about that in their
pleadings.
Mayfield has had an unusual ex-
perience in his campaign for the high
office of United States Senate. He
entered the campaign with a number
of opponents. He won, leading the

sition succeeded in keeping his name

of the counties in the state and then
he won by what seems to be more
than two hundred thousand votes.

ECHOEES FROM THE GENERAL1
ELECTION.
Some say one thing and some say
another, as to why the republicans
fought, and are fighting, Mayfield so
hard. Probably the following might
shed some light on the subject:
“Washington, Nov. 9.—Proposals
(for legislation modifying the Vol-
stead act with respect to the sale of
beer and light wines were regarded
today at the Treasury as extremely
likely as a result of the outcome of
Tuesday’s election.

This would be a foolish question to

when he was shown where he was los-

steps toward correcting the trouble.

It is owing entirely how you look (tie, yet forceful, the kind„of Prince

have received in Center, and paying imals and to those who are weaker
i himself. He must—it goes
without saying—be rich.
When A Girl Is Twenty-one—
Complexion and height of Prince do
not so much matter. Tall, dark
Prince preferred, but others-in^
ply. As to should- f th0USh broad
ones naturally e- ^desired, an appli-
cant will n: ’ necessarily be rejected
becausp coat about tbe shoulders
spggests some slight padding. Waist
optional. He must be a gentleman,
of course, and know how to dress, but
he will not be jumped on if there
happens to be a slit in his patent-
leather shoe. ’ Kindness to dumb ani-
mals nice, but not necessary. The
Prince must have an ample income.
When A Girl Is Twenty-five.—The
Prince may be of any complexion and
any height. He may be tall or short,
light or dark; a man’s a man a’ that.
Likewise,his shoulders and his waist;
they are nobody’s concern but his
own. The girl would prefer a saw-
ed-off Prince who was nice to a tall
broad-shouldered one who was a stick.
As to his being a gentleman, every
man is a gentleman if he is treated
right at home. Furthermore a man
may even wear a made-up tie and still
be a gentleman. Cut out that busi-
ness about dumb animals. Some dogs
deserve to be kicked. The Prince
’ should have a decent income.

The Prince need not stay away just
Because he is bald,, or because he has •
art impediment in his speech, or be- j
cause he is homely as a hedge fence.
Kitsd hearts are more than coronets,
and so forth, and a girl has a way of
looking behind exteriors. His voice
may sound like a buzz saw striking a
rusty nail, yet he may be a perfectly
good Prince. He should be a gentle-
man—at least, a gentleman in the
rough—one whom it w©uld give a girl
real pleasure to reform. Clothes do
not count at all—nobsdy judges a
man by his clothes. If he has enough
money for two persons to live on,
that’s all there is to that.

JOHN B. received $10,000 in cash amLthe question came
to him: “What shall I do with it?”
“I must not carry it with me or keep it at home,” he said,
“ofr that would be very foolish.”
He thought of investing it but he knew so little about in-
vestments and he knew that mistakes were very easily
made. He decided to go and talk with his banker ab^ut
his problems.
