ARE UNDER WAY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8. (/P)
—Politics will be the lodestone in the
first session of the Sixty-ninth Con
gress, which convened yesterday.
Leaders of both parties will have
as their chief concern thewriting of
records upon which they may go to
the country in the 1926 congressional
elections, which will crowd closely
upon the ending of the session.
The Republicans will seek to enact
a legislative program upon which to
stand in asking the voters to re
turn majorities for their party in
both houses during the closing two
years of the present administration
of President Coolidge.
The Democrats will devote their
efforts to focusing public attention
upon what they will denominate the
shortcomings of administration, leg
islative and executive, under the
power of the Republican party, and
to outlining a program of govern
ment which they would undertake to
carry into effect should they be re
turned to the control of Congress.
In this process vast waves of
words will inundate both chambers,
but more especially th eSenate,
where there are fewer handicaps
upon flights of oratory than in the
House. In the latter body many pol
itical “speeches” will remain un
spoken, but will find their way into
the Congressional Record under the
privilege of “extension of remarks.”
Political maneuvers and speeches
will necessarily delay the work of
Congress, but probably neither side
will be loath to stretch the session
out until mid-summer or later, for
the Senate and House furnish a
ready forum for political orators, a
forum that has few counterparts
anywhere else on the globe.
In the campaign wiiich will be in- (
augurated almost immediately after
the gavels fall, and which will be
continued until next November, there
will be involved every seat in the
House and 33 of those in the Senate.
The Republicans have comfortable
majorities in both houses and their
fight.will be not only to retain them,
but to strengthen their hold.
In the contests for Senate seats,
however, the majority party will find
itself on the defensive at the outset
since 26 Republicans come up for
reelection against seven Democrats,
all of whom are from solidly Demo
cratic states in the South.
Without facing the necessity for
defending its home base, the Demo
crats will plan their battle so as to
■carry the offensive to the “enemy”
at all times, concentrating its heavi
est artillery in those states of the
East and West where admittedly
the contests are likely to prove close.
Among the 26 Republicans up for
reelection are many of the party
wheel horses. These include William
M. Butler, chairman of the Republi
can National Committee, and the
President’s chief spokesman in the
Senate; Charles Curtis of Kansas,
the Republican floor leader; and Jas.
E. Watson of Indiana, assistant floor
leader.
In the list also are George H.
■Moses of New Hampshire, president
pro tempore of the 'Senate; Reed
Smooth of Utah, chairman of the Fi
nance Committee; James W. Wads
worth, jr., of New York, chairman
of the Military Committee; George!
Wharton Pepper of Penna., Albert;
B. Cummins of Iowa; Wesley L. Jones,
of Washington and Hiram Bingham
of Connecticut.
The reason young men are not eager
to court nowadays is that it is hard
to hunt a rabbit that is hunting him.
A treasury surplus does not indi
cate anything but that the taxpayer
was socked too hard.
NILE PARKERS BEAT
MERCHANTS INDOOR
BASEBALL, 23 - 21
RALLY. IN NINTH ALMOST EVENS
SCORE—NILE PARKS LEAD
ING INDOOR LEAGUE
Coming from behind in the first
of the ninth, and ten runs behind,
the Nile Park indoor baseball team
almost had a hemorrhage when the
lowly Merchants, who had been stag
gering thru the game in a listless
manner, suddenly came to life and
nicked “Cannonball” Dyer, ace pitch
er for the Niles, for eight runs. The
Niles won by the score of 23 to 21,
but only by the “skin of the teeth.”
Hopkins caught Dyers, backing him
up brilliantly. It developed that,
thru the series of secret work-outs,
the Nilers have gone thru the past
ten days, they have improved their
bat-work 100 per cent. Baseballs
were whizzing thru the ozone at
every angle with Paulsteiner, Moeh
ring and Erwin doing the heavy
stick work. For the drooping Mer
chants, onceagain Urbach was the
outstanding star, with Valade, Blue
and Swetmann, all kings of swat,
performing miraculously and indus
triously at the platter.
Altogether it was a fast and in
teresting game to watch. The bal
cony was jammed with spectatoi'3
who voiced their approval of speedy
and heady plays. The exceptional
fast work of the Nile first-baseman,
“Flash Bud” Dyer, was commented
upon frequently. For the Merch
ants, R. Manthey did his stuff in his
usual form. Alex Bolam hurled fcr
the Merchants and “Halley’s Comet”
Shellhorn, caught him. And they
make a fine looking battery.
Snyder umpired balls and strikes,
and McLaughlin took care of the
base decisions.

If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
/'
r
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. ,
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money—not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
. of the community.
Donate to the gooa of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars'
