It can sit without interruption until December of next year if it sees fit, but if precedent is followed adjournment will come some time next summer. Uncle Joe Cannon will be master of ceremonies in the house and Uncle Nelse Aldrich in the senate. In the meantime the cautious citizen will keep his hand on his pocketbook, which will be the point of attack as usual. At the elections next fall the < people can change the program If they will. ( The fellow who suggests “Uncle , Nate” Hawkins as a candidate for i congress on the republican ticket again must think Nathan a fall guy j right. Why, the old man has not re- ; covered from the jolt Adair gave him J a little over a year ago. His little 1 flyer in politics cost him his job as * cashier of a bank and put him out in a cold world as a common contrac « tor of public alleys. What would hap- I pen the old man should he make an- I X other race? Nein, not for your Un- * I cle Nate.—Bluffton Banner. 1 “The next republican state chairman has a large and important work laid out for him,’’ says one of the fearful party papers. It then follows the statement up with a description of the many qualities needed in a chairman, such as the republicans must have if they hope to win in 1910. j Just how they are going to find the I kind of a man needed is not told. But 1 surely it is a big job that that fellow will have on his hands when he s is found. It is so big and so uncer- c tain that some men have already refused to be considered as available I timber, knowing that defeat will do . them no good. ’*'■ l> t PAY THAT POLL TAX NOW. The list of delinquent poll tax is now in my hands for collection and d if not paid by the 21st of December, suit will be instituted against those a who have not paid up. To save these costs pay your poll tax now. ALBERT BUTLER, Marshal. r 294t6 e
