TIRED OF THE SIDE SHOW. Albert J. Beveridge bitterly de

to return to the republican party. Mr.
Beveridge would do very well to shut
up like a clam and mke arrangements to return himself. While the light holds out to burn even little Albert may return. And Albert is going to be mighty lonesome mighty soon if he persists in staying where he is at present.

The question that is givng concern to a great many un talkative Democrats is whether one such leader as
