To the Editor ot The Journal: :
Polities make strange bedfellows.
fcave had them myself while slumping
the country in strange hotels! :
I used to be in politics for Ta.nuia-!
Iiv once in New York, at so much per
politic! I would have been there still
It I could have invented some other
way to shae. On election day when
I first voted I had a fine full beard.
At nine I had a nice Vandyke. At
ten I had a moustache and Imperial.
At eleven I had an nice rncleSaiu tuft
At noon 1 was clean shaved. There are
surely a lot of ways to vote cue ticket
Et aitfereut places.
If I could have invented one more
way to fix myself I belie e I couid

each, or a total of o.l23 per ekcucu
dav certain, and scum tinier it nut ..'.
to $4. . Thai's what I call an hon
fi din's work. What do you think?
I was tired ot pohticfvins ill .f ;
York, as in the first place the price of '
votes went down, and the lenpth of
sentences for lakinu won up; so I
came to North Carolina. v!.ere when
I cheat tin nesroes out of ttieir votes,
and swindle the other Republicans, it
is accounted to ire tr i ithteotisness.
You see 1 am set tins particular .n my
old a-e.
Even in ihis state they can $.ive the
New Yorkers points. For instance m
one place, which shall he nameless, m
the mountains. 1 assisted at a little
swnee in the election lm which was
manaued like this: We had tour!
judges of election. Three were down- 1
Stairs in the body of the liven stab.e
where the voting precinct was. and
one upstairs. The man upstairs was,
"in cainera-obseura." of course. He
was furnished with a bo identical,
with the box below stairs. The pre-,
finct was almost solid Republican,
end when each man cave m and vot
ed the jiuU'e below stairs said m a
loud voice, -Mr. So and So votinu.

There were no disputants, but
Oh vou polities'.
At an election in Wyoming I over
heard the following conversation be
tween the circuit rider and one of the
bovs: .
Where were you born." asked the
I Methodist minister. .
! -Death Gnleah." remarked the
i Cowboy.
' "Christian parents. I suppose,
said the parson.
Sure," was the answer.
"What persuasion?'- went on the
minister. ,
The cowboy hesitated, scratched
the ground with his spur, blew out a
lone blast of smoke from his cigarette
and said. -Same as mine. Smith and
Wesson."
The minister collapsed, il.e cow
man had mixed tip persuader and per
suasion. At a Co!oradrt election.
"Mr. Jones ou are sure;. , , .

-Sure." says Jones, but I'm dry as
