Most of the campaign buttons are made of tin; and when a big political struggle is expected the makers send out agents through the tin factories of the South to buy uphill the waste tin and useless cans thity can find to make their buttons with.

If anything cau*be called waste nowadays. Nor is the tin waste useless, oven when no political excitement Is on.
