Senator F. J. Hale is
prominently mentioned as a can
didate for governor. He is the
gentleman from Holt county who
was elected delegate at large to
the National convention at Den
ver , defeating the little giant of
Grand Island who is said to be the
strongest democrat in the State in
his time. We met Mr.Hale on
our way to Lincoln and he denies
being a candidate for anything
and says that it is only hi > friends
giving him a friendly boost.
There is no doubt that Senator
Hale is a mighty good man and
that he would make a good rare
for governor if nominated. lie
has lived 40 yeais in the State and
for 36 years lived near Battle
Creek in IVladison county. He
was a National delegate in 181)2. )
elected State Senator in 1SU3 , a
Bryan elector in 1896 and again
elected State Senator in 1S99.
Senator Hale came from Virgin
ia and is an old time Democrat
He's growing old but is strong
and hearty yet and has a host of
friends who would like to do him
honor if he is in the race.

A Queer Ad.
"An Itiiau ! with : i pinno organ was
turning the handle of his machine rap
idly , but not a note was to be hoard. I
stopped nt once. What on earth couM
be the matter ? "
The speaker , an advertising agenr.
smiled.
"Finally , " he said , "I went up close
to the man.
"A breakdown ? ' I asked.
"He pointed to a small placard on
the organ's front , and I read :
" 'The interior of the instrument has
been removed. The relief that in con
sequence you experience is as nothing
compared with that which immediate
ly follows a dose of Sure Cure Cough
Mixture. '
"It was -in original ad. , " the expert
ended , "and I followed it up. From
what the Sure Cure people told me , 1
found that the saiac ingenuity and
money put in legitimate newspaper
advertising would have brought GO per
cent more returns. " New Orleans
