Special to our political editor: SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 28— An exchange challenges the country to produce a rhyme for Fairbanks. As Robert Browning found a rhyme for ‘'ranunculus,” I venture to find one for Fairbanks: They’ve two candidates, Roosevelt and Fairbanks, Boomed by means of explosions of air tanks; But the pair must sit tight Till the end of the fight, Or they may have to go out with bare shanks. D. F. Hanningan. “Grover, Grover four years more of Grover.” The St. Louis convention will be lively. Femtor Fairbanks is cold, a habit that is growing since the Chicago convention. But the g. o. p. atmosphere has something to do with it. Hon. Hugh Daugherty, of Bluffton, makes official denial that he is a widower. Decatur belles will ..please take notice and govern themselves accordingly. Cromer has come and gone. He is a nice fellow and will make all the known pretentions of being a congressman providing he is elected. His friends should not be too eager, however to start the rural route boom and thus aid and encourage an aggressive fight. Indiana presidential quantities are becoming numerous, the list embracing John W. Kern, Major G. V. Menzies B. F. Shiveley and John E. Lamb. The fellow that suggested Fairbanks as the only living example of Indiana statesmanship, has long since taken to the woods. Royal E. Purcell owner of the Western Sun at Vincennes, Indiana, did himself and the newspaper profession proud byan illustrated edition in honor of the centennial anniversary of his newsjwper. It was an exhaustive edition, a typographical beauty designed by a master in the buisness and written in the best of English.
