DIAL FOR]
V raser Edwards, a special writer on
the staff of the lWashington Post, had
.the following entertaining write-up of
Senator Dial, of this city, in his paper
a few days ago. Of course local read
ers will discover a few inaccuracies
and exaggerations natitral inl a breezy
write-ip of this kind, but, they will be
ailused at the realistic picture which
the writer has drawn of IIe "Cololel".
That lie has nlot becontie "I'esidenlt"

The following is the article by Mr..
Ed'iwards:
