The Beacon's attempt to cast in sinuations against Senator Carrie's record in the senate reminds us of the fellow who "strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel. " Most of the bills ho voted against , of which the Beacon complains wore partisan and wore introduced for political bunoomb , a sample of which was bill 2GB asking that the army bo withdrawn from the Philippines. Other bills of doutful runrit intro duce late in the session when there was no time to oonnidor them bo wisely voted with the majority of his colleagues to get them out of the way of more important legis- laton. In voting for Senator Curtio yon will yoto for a man that has the courage to vote bis convictions and ono whoso judgment is not warped , In Whitney yon have a "orank"at heat i pliable in the hands of his masters as clay in the hands of tlio potter.
