Politicians don't j exactly understand what reason j there is in tho senator's leaving I his duties at Washington to make | a political speech in this state at j present. It is surmised by some of them that the enthusiasm of the reception of the president in j this state was not so pleasant to i the senator, who insinuated the \ "insu't'' to him by the president i would be resented. As it wasn't by a long shot, it is thought the senator mnv want /? --.?-j * ?? ? v v\? vwiuvi avi the favorable impression made by Roosevelt in the State. Anyway the senator may be depended upj on to stir up the animals and in| liveu things generally. ' + PRINi iteti to our gi-es ^riday this week, ! best yet.
