I never saw say candidat# get the

out on the hustings, and I auw evi-

around sometimes during a cam-

station the be>s would block up the
gangway to give him the glad hand
and often l have seen some who
couldn t get in tbs door get in through
the car windows to get to him. The
sombre aspect of some of his suc-
cessors Is noticeable, Crain. If he
had remained In the State, had a
brilliant future before him and I
think he made a great mistake in
going to Congress. He had been in
the State Senate and If he had’ re-

The Democrats of Jackson County,
Missouri, hate started a boom for
‘‘Murder will out.” Ia>ok at that
Hall case up In New Jersey and which*
happened 4 years ago. And that bomb
killing case which happened at Cor
pus Chrlstl some two years ago—
well, that mystery may be unraveled
some of these near-by days, accord
ing to late rumors.
One woman who viewed Valentino’s
body three different times. fainted
on each occasion and greatly dis-
commoded the other mourners. And
then a policeman told her not to
come any more, which so upset her
that she threw a fit on the street
and had to be hauled away. And the
chances are Vaentlno knew nothing
of the poor woman during bis event
ful life.

If the World War wss the cause
of the murder wave In the United
States, the war should have had
greater effect on England, which was
much nearer the scene of hostilities
and activities. But England gives her
murderers all that IS coming to them,

Wheelor and Mr. Volstead, we often

There’s a man for you that would

his second term as a Member ot tWe
Lower House of the legislature from
Webb County and Is a candidate for
re-election without opposition., hav-
ing received the nomination In the
recent Democratic primary. During
the lost regular session of the L^glsla
ture, an Incident occurred that show-
ed th* estimation In which Mr. Beb-
bltt waa held by his brother Mem
b-T-*—an unusual Incident, and which
as far as we can recall, never before
occurred during a session of the
Legislature. Without either the knowl
edge or content Of Mr, Bobbitt, more
than fifty members of the House
held a quiet meeting, and. In a reso-
lution unani«oualy adopted, each
pledged tilmaelf to support Mr. Bob-
bitt for Speaker of the next House;
that they would vote for him If they
were returned, and in case they were
not candidate# for re-election, to use
what influence they might poasese in
Insuring hla election to that high
and honorable position. When pre
seated with a copy of the resolution,
•f course Mr. Bobbitt was both deep-
ly Impressed and gratified, and
after that hla gratification was .add-
ed to by the receipt of numerous
letters from fellow-members also
pledging their support and express-
ing regret that they were not pre-
sent at the meeting alluded to above.
