Nobody believes in bad roads,

It is all right to know a good

There arc always factions in
any parly before nominations
are made. In every presidential
campaign some are for one man
and some are for another. In
the last democratic national con
vention there were several can
didates for the presidency, in
cluding Wilson,' Clark, Harmon
and Underwood. After the mat
ter was settled the friends of all
the candidates rallied to the
support 'of President Wilson and
helped elect him. Now it seems
that an applicant for office must
be an original Wilson man to
have a ghost of a show to be
successful. Is that right? It
doesn't look that way to the
writer.
